  Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.

  Or Gouda. For extra fun while you’re there, pronounce Gouda the way it’s typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

  Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

  Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

  Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

  She, but thank you, this was my point exactly.

  I speak the language fluently; that’s not the problem.

  It’s the fact that there are a much smaller number of books available on most topics because the country is so small.

  Libraries with access to the enormous amount of English language content are usually only found in English speaking countries, though.

  Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).

  I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.
