I realized today that I have a ton of websites bookmarked for the Netherlands (I call them NL links). Having collected these over a five-year period, I guess it's high time that I share some of them with all the readers out there. Who knows, maybe something will come in handy:

Believe it or not, the IND (immigration department) has an English version of their website. If you've had questions (or problems) concerning your residency, here's a good place to start. They even have some fun-to-read propaganda promoting their policies.

If you haven't experienced a Dutch sauna, do it immediately. This site provides a comprehensive listing of spas in the Netherlands. I could say so much on this subject, but for now, I'll just mention that clothing is frowned upon in these unisex establishments.

And for students or aspiring scholars out there, Nuffic has a website called "Study in Holland." It's full of information about coming to the Netherlands for study, and writing about expenses, food, politics, you name it.

Happy surfing!
