Fuck it. I'm gonna move to Amsterdam. (For real.)

No other city in America will satisfy me like NYC does. I could go to Chicago and it'd be the same old nitty gritty city with the hustle n bustle that I live for, but it won't be New York. I know how my head works.
I could go to San Francisco, but bah. Seems to me that SF is a city of leisure, too much a paradise by the coast.
I need to get out of this country. My top choices are Paris and amsterdam. I know both cities well already from multiple visits.
But I hate the French! 
Krishna - I know you said it's hard for U.S. citizens to get EU work visas but guess what? I mentioned all this to my dad last night and he offered to pay any and all legal expenses in pursuit of an EU work visa for me!

I've lived here for almost all the 23 years of my life.

That will be awesome, if you can acquire a visa! You have been to Amsterdam a bunch of times? I still have yet to go there, but I plan on doing it in the next few years, hopefully.

Yeah blissed I've been there thrice. IT's such an easy city to get a feel for because it's not huge at all. I'd buy a used bike within my first couple days of moving and just ride all around, damn it'd be a good time.

Cool man that's awesome. My dad has lots of business contacts there too who can also do it.
I've always wanted to live in Europe.

You gotta do what you gotta do. We've both lived here for our whole lives. She needs to become fluent in Spanish and live in a spanish-speaking country to pursue the life goals she wants.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, i got an option to move to Amsterdam myself.
I got it i can either work as a chef in Amsterdam, because i have a friend there who can hire me, or i can go to London and work in the bar for a while then get promoted to bar manager or superviser with my degree...
I dont know which option to choose.
If i move to Adam, it will be tricky to find accomodation. But transportation is easy - bike around anywhere you want.
I donno London is also sounds fun but with chef work in a few years i get work rights to move and work in Australia and that has been holy grail for me for some time.

Amsterdam is crowded and the real estate prices are through the roof. Don't expect to find nice accomodation there. Your best bet is to live in one of the smaller cities around Amsterdam and take the train each day. Or even ride you bike to Amsterdam. Everything is close to eachother in Holland.

Nope, all my grandparents are from the Soviety Union originally.
I don't like running to pappy for help, and I didn't in this case - he offered it out of the blue. So when I can get it, I take it, and I'm pretty sure with his resources this will be no problem.

yea but think about all the benefits you get. i think the average person is happier there than here anyways. And plus i can't stand the way this country is being run. I don't like th epople in charge and i don't like all the stupid rules. America treats their citizens as morons. and granted there are a lot of stupid people. btu there are plenty of smart people to. I just overall think this country is built on hypocrisy. At least in amsterdam you can remove yourself from all of it. The things people preach there and the things people preach here are just so different. The lifestyle and how people interact with each other is sooo much more different than in america as well. I dunno this is all my personal opinion.
Although this country is a lot better and fair than some other ones. We have rights other people in other countries don't. But it's not enough for me. i can't say this is the country i want to live in for the rest of my life. At all. I just don't picture myself here for all of the reasons listed above.

Dude, Holland has a TON of stupid rules! Really really stupid ones.
But if you're high, you don't have to follow any of them. That is the main rule.

jsut make sure you read all the dumb laws that you have to go through in order to get a working visa, do research. The US makes it hard as fuck for people to get a working visa (via lottery) and so other countries make it hard for you to get a working visa there.
I moved from america to australia, which is awesome, but hard as fuck to work here! NYC is nice, but I'm more a 'frisco person myself. 
oh hey, go to india....you'll love it

We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

with the way the EU is set up, any EU citizen can work in any other member country without a visa (as far as i know). plus many countries have next-to-free university systems (not england, though!)
how can you get dual-citizenship? were your parents born there?

we'll I'm a student here right now, doing a combined arts/science degree at melbourne uni. I need to get my 'permission to work' visa before I can actually start working. it's basically a money making scheme. you'd think that after I spend 420 bucks for a student visa, I could work, but no, I have to spend an extra 60 to get that extra stamp, pffft. but thems are the breaks ya know?
if I start work though, I dunno what I should go into, hmm maybe telemarketing

ah ok that makes sense. when i was living abroad, i found it fairly hassle-free, so long as i was a student. could get a 'permission to work' add-on to my student visas, as well (although i never did, as i worked for an american company online, and just had them put money in my US bank account). but to live there not as a student seemed more difficult (denmark has had a stop on immigration for a long time, f.ex- only students, refugees, family reunification cases, and specialized work will get you a visa)

You won't be able to get English citizenship. Your teeth are not crooked enough.

I was talking to my mother about it. She said that somehow since my Grandmother was not an American citizen, she and us (her children) can get citizenship. I have no clue, though.

I could go to San Francisco, but bah. Seems to me that SF is a city of leisure, too much a paradise by the coast.
I need to get out of this country. My top choices are Paris and amsterdam. I know both cities well already from multiple visits.
But I hate the French! 
Krishna - I know you said it's hard for U.S. citizens to get EU work visas but guess what? I mentioned all this to my dad last night and he offered to pay any and all legal expenses in pursuit of an EU work visa for me!
So how's that working out for you?

Yeah paying that 23% tax is a real killer. Especially since you only get free schools, universities, health care, unemployment benefits, pension, dental, childcare, superb public transit systems and infrastructure second to none.
I used to be one of those guys that complained about unjust taxes, then i moved to a country where the government tax were low and i realized what a shitty fucked up country it was. Fucking animals.
