Getting to know the Big Apple

In the last two months I have been twice to the Big Apple to get to know her better. To get to know my future colleagues I worked for one week as a member of the HR department (my day-to-day colleagues in a few months), gaining a first experience in american working culture. Compared to the Dutch environment a lot of things are weird, no, different.

Besides working, I got to know pieces of New York's Dutch expat world, all about housing and learned more about getting around in this amazing city...

My first impression:

• service level here is heaven compared to Amsterdam
• very convenient lifestyle
• apartments are small, prices are big
• everything is possible, as long as you pay (even a luggage cart at the airport is not for free)
