[advice on riding in traffic:] make eye contact with drivers at every
possible opportunity. If they make eye contact, they'll feel worse
about running over you. -- Davidm @ aus.bicycle
oely said:Cycling and geekery is a mix that is working for me. Ive been lucky, I brought the nerd to my relationship while my girlfriend brought the cycling bug. Now it seems to be the reverse, im the one out on the bike, and about to wipe myself out up Ventoux while shes is on the pc nerding it up. Shes sexy and intelligent too! well....by my sarcastic, jaded, people are all arseholes view of the world. Now if only we could solve this soon to be problem of being opposite ends of the earth not knowing when we will see each other again.
Some advice for all prospective suitors of Dutch men or women.
- He/she stands a better chance of living in Aus.
- If you try to live in xenophobic Holland with your loved one, dont expect to have a work permit after at least 10 months (out of a 12 year Visa). If they say you need x amount of $, then triple it. If they call it a reciprocal Visa, dont believe them. Bring plenty of pens for all the useless paper work and red tape that you need to get through basically just to take a **** in this country. And dont be thick skinned. If your going to take a Dutch "integration" course then please make sure you brush up on how much it costs to rent a dvd. (This was seriously asked)
- If your a "skilled" work (which alot of the geeks on here seem to be) then forget what i just said and you will probably be warmly welcomed and things will be fine.
