:wallbang: of course.
So do most people assume you are a tourist then?
The fashionable term is "expat". Ie. immigrant but without the stigma. A person who isn't in the country because he wants a better life, but just an overall cosmopolitan guy who can live wherever he wants when it pleases him. :D So there are lots of expats in this country, people are quite used to it.

Makes you sound like some sort of international playboy :D I'd be open to the idea myself I suppose, holland has always intrigued me. (and not for the usual reasons) :p

Do you go to a college for Dutch lessons or are you trying go teach it to yourself?

I read yesterday that the English are leaving in droves, for greener pastures. Their preferred shangrila is supposed to be... Belgium :D

It sounds to me like someone who hasn't planned very much. "We'll take the Eurostar and then we'll see..". Ah, Brussels.

The latter. I've reached a point where I have basic knowledge of the grammar, I can read a book or a paper. But my listening is very weak, I don't understand more than 50% of the news on tv.

Why is your avatar like a cheap version of the other Indian avatars?
Funny thing. I changed their avatars myself from the mod console. Hence they have the original size while I have the 100x100 version of it... I'll have to change mine from the mod console as well I guess...
