General
Right well some of you may/may not know but I am planning on moving to Holland within the next few years fingers crossed.
I've always hated the UK and never really had a opportunity to move out till now. I'm going for plumbing qualification and once I get it and do plumbing for a year as a full time job I;ll move out the country and then go to Dutch college to do plumbing so i know how they do it over there then perhaps think about starting my own company, or just work for myself.
Also new fursuit will be in the picture which I'm hoping will be done in time for FWH late March time. Yah I'll be there and so obviously will be in Holland which will give me a taste of life within the country I am choosing to live inside in the near future.

May I ask what makes you hate the UK so much?
Moving to The Netherlands might be a good idea but it will not solve that many problems I guess. It will also create a few new ones.
I travel between Holland and the UK very often as my mate is British and we want to see each other every few weeks. The more I travel, the more I find out there is a difference in culture. Most things look pretty much the same but the devil is in the details. Adapting to Dutch culture isn't hard to do but some things might appear to be very different. Maybe even weird. Then of course there is the language. If you really want to integrate, you need to learn Dutch. The language is much more complex than English but on the other hand I know several people from the UK, VS and New Zeeland that learned it very well in a few years.
If moving to Holland is your dream than I'd say go for it! Just be realistic about your expectations :)
I understand that there are more worse countries in EU like Poland, Slovenia, Portugal and Spain etc.. but still UK is bad.
