  Living in Rotterdam

  I have just landed in Rottermad, now I am waiting for getting some stamps on my passport to be able to work and study but I am wondering maybe you know something about any kind of job to do while I am waiting for my stamps.
  Actually I am getting a bit grazy, I can not do so much here without those stamps.
  Thanks for any response.

  Pfff!!!...

  I'm in the same situation!...

  Well.. like you said... without those stamps.. you can't do anything..
  Unless.. you consider black jobs.. like waitressing, babysitting, cleaning.
  If you choose to do that.. remember that the dutch language barrier will become more important!

  Otherwise.. you just have to wait!..

  Ohhhhhhhhhh!

  Would you like to study Dutch with me?

  Well, I am still waiting to see what happens, I am not working yes but studying, I need to practice Dutch at least the few dutch words that I already know.
  I have a problem, when I go to any supermarket or wherever I go, people talk English to me so I answer in nglish also so that has been like a wall I cannot still cross.

  I lve in Rotterdam and you Carla?

  Citizenship

  Hi, I have been reading teh discussion and I do not know the procedure of getting a citizenship but what I know is that everybody who is living in Holland permanently and a foreigner like you do, must get a so called "inburgeringscursus" where you will be learning dutch and other related things in order to get as soon as possible acquainted with the Dutch. Did you consider this?

  If you need dutch websites where you could learn Dutch I could possible help, let me know?

  Bye and good luck.
