You will find all you need to know to help start your new life in The Netherlands, you can see what the core 'Dutch values' are considered to be and how to socialize like the Dutch. The video explaining the Dutch healthcare system and the Dutch way of working is particularly helpful for many expats. Please click the link below to see more.
