Sorry, I kind of wrote that for myself also, I was having some random thoughts about moving to the US and how it would be.. and I had to have it all in writing for myself, and came to the conclusion there's no way in hell I'm going back Also, if mods would be so kind as to delete any posts where negative things are posted, we can keep this on top to help encourage others.

Why the censorship, living here brings good and bad things. Why encourage people with a lie.

I'm here because my wife is Dominican. We tried living here, we tried living in my country and decided to go back here. WE, after 2,5 year still doubt that decision.

I'm here because: freedom in work (easier to make a living without living the rat race), my wife seems happier here, the weather is better than in Holland, not such an overorganized country, I can drive a jeepeta here, I can have a maid to cook, wash dishes, clean and do laundry.

I'm here even though: life is at least twice as expensive as in Holland, lying- and cheating culture, ignorance, selfishness (if I want to make music at 1.00 am at high volume in my house I do it no matter the neighbors), insecurity in the streets at night (but Danilo is gonna fix that), the wearer (too hot , half of the year), mediocre or bad education, unless you can afford the most expensive schools, and then still it's below European standards.

We, with the knowledge we have now, would have stayed in Holland, but it's. It that bad to have the hassle and trauma again of an international moving with small children. Encouraging others to make the step and come here, no, I wouldn't do that to them.
