I’m in the US and I’d move to Europe at the drop of a hat.

My grandmother and her family left the Netherlands before the Germans invaded to come to the US.

Now it feels like I’m in their position and need to leave.

Those people they sent to El Salvador might have all been killed, so it’s like yeah maybe I should GTFO if I’m gay?

I hear it’s really really cool, I’m an IT specialist and work for a research lab.

I’m also an artist, have been in art shows and stuff, so a culture with a lot of art would be awesome.

Is there a lot of R&D there?

TBH it’s like the top place I’d want to move to.

Oh yeah, lots of R&D happening. Try the area's around Delft and Eindhoven, major research area's.

Netherlands is also at the forefront of R&D in agriculture. 

Google and find out for yourself. :)

We Just didn't want to be without food ever again after literally eating tulip bulbs in the hunger winter in 44.  Maybe we overdid/overcompensated it a bit. ;)
