    Moved from just over the border (Belgium) so not a huuuuge change in life but liking it here! Actually signing tomorrow to buy an appartement so here to stay :p

    The only thing I got a heart attack about was my health insurance costs being about 14x higher than Belgium but more net salary made up for it xD

      That’s not much of a culture shock, that’s for sure :) Still, I hope you’ll enjoy your new home.

      And yes, health insurance isn’t cheap. I mean it isn’t US levels, but I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit cheaper :)

        Its mostly the little language differences (je/jij instead of ge/gij is my most painful one) but that’s minimal haha

        Thanks! We’ll see how it goes in the long run I guess, no plans on returning anytime soon tho

        Yeahh, a high monthly cost + a deductible is quite insane
