Hi Ani! If you can believe it, I actually just saw your greeting from August?! How very strange. Anyway, I am sure by now u have adjusted. To answer your question, I am taking Dutch courses which I begin about 5 months after moving here and they finish this coming June. It was paid for by the government and is actually compulsory for me as I am American and my boyfriend is Dutch and I have my visa through him. Were u able to find work here? Drop me another line. I love Miami! U must miss it.

Hi Ani,
You will love Amsterdam and you are doing all the right things to meet friends quickly! I live in MN. I will be renting an apartment on Govert Flinckstraat until mid-Nov. If there is any rare chance you both run and will be living near me, let me know! Let me know if you go to any of these events. I probably will after my family leaves--they will come with me the first 2 wks.
Good luck with your move--stressful, huh! Packing for me is ugh and I'm not actually moving!
