Well,

I live in the Netherlands and if you start working in amsterdam, make sure that:

1) you make 75K-100K euro at least
2) you get your house paid for (watch out for the tax on that)
3) you don't buy a car in amsterdam, assuming that work/home can be reached

with public transport
4) you live close to the redlight district (so much police and tourist around, it must be safe)
5) you get a dutch girlfriend ;-)

Anjo.
