Thanks for the update ! Great vlog! 👍✨️
Glad you enjoyed it :)
loved this!
so happy to hear you liked my vlog ☺❤
Great video! It was a pleasure to watch it.
Yay - glad you enjoyed my vlog, thanks for watching ☺☺
very chill videos. they are very relaxing
Glad you enjoyed :)
Your voice is so calm and chilled 😌 it's amusing
Haha nice to know!
Even though the weather seemed pretty brutal during this vlog, I could just feel your sweet positive vibes radiating through the screen! Hang in there, Spring is very near!
🤍🤍🤍 spring is SO NEAR! I see the light at the end of the tunnel hehehe
Rewatching this again after my 4 day trip to Ams from Tokyo that I just had yesterday! Your vlogs there are helping me keep my travel high. thank you!! :)
Aww i hope you had the best time here!
@@LeesaYu It was amazing sunny on all 4 days which I bet is rare. Thank you! Now I'm debating whether i should move to Australia or Amsterdam, and travel more from there, coz I do love to travel. Your videos are inspirational. Rewatching some of your expat life content too!
@@kikoandoy I'm so happy to hear that! The Netherlands is just amazing when the sun is shining. Very tough decision for you - both countries are wonderful to live in ❣
@@LeesaYu yeah but your comment about Aus quality of life is the rational choice after my Ams travel high has faded. So thank you again!
Enjoyed!👍
Glad you enjoyed my vlog! ☺
Congratulations ❤
Thank you!! ❤
Hi Leesa, loved your vlog! I live in Amsterdam too and I was wondering which Dutch classes would you recommend taking? Thanks for the info ❤
I’m really lucky and do my Dutch classes via my husband’s workplace. However the company that runs the classes is called BLTC. I also have heard very good things about Taalboost. For self-learning, I also recommend Dutch Pod 101 (both the CZcams videos and the podcast). Good luck! 🤍🤍
i like your videos :) ive been interesting in moving to the netherlands. living in america can just feel so toxic some days tbh. if you dont mind me asking, what do you do for work?
Sure happy to share - I'm a community manager for a Dutch university :)
Thanks for the content that you post! Quick question… is there an Asian market in Amsterdam? Thanks!
There’s quite a few Asian supermarkets! The ones I know of is Amazing Oriental in Nieuwmarkt (the Chinatown of Amsterdam) and Hong Kong Superstore on Kinkerstraat :) and there are also many Indonesian Tokos. Hope there will be more Asian supermarkets in the future ☺️
Thanks for posting! Are typical work weeks only 4 days? I heard that children go to school half day on Wednesday’s. Have you noticed if parents also work half days on Wednesdays to spend time with their children? Thanks!
I think it really depends on the company you work for/industry you work in. But in the Netherlands, working 4 days (or 32 hrs) is very common even if you don't have children/caregiving duties (like in my case). Yes, you have heard correctly :) Most parents who work 4 days do indeed choose to take Wednesdays off for this reason! The second most popular day is Friday.
Do you have suggestion on how to choose gas heat and electricity provider? And how to set them up in a new apartment? Thanks!!!
Check out this website, which I think answers your question well! expatica.com/nl/living/household/utilities-netherlands-100581/#connect-energy-supply
We are with Vattenfall - we just went with them because they are a big provider. But there are a lot of great providers that have a greater environmental focus (e.g. greenchoice). We might move to them in the future!
@@LeesaYu thank you!
Congratulations 💐 🌷 🌹 🥀 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌻 🌞
Thank you!! ☺☺
Gefeliciteerd🌹met je vaste contract. Ik typ maar eens in het Nederlands want als je dit soort teksten (3:12) kunt lezen, moet mijn reactie hier ook geen probleem zijn, toch.
Ik ben nog een beginner. Maar ik begrijp je opmerking! Thank you for the congratulations ☺☺
@@LeesaYu Ik heb aan minderjarige vluchtelingen met laag IQ (niet hoger dan 90) NT2 gegeven, en daar waren zulke teksten te moeilijk. Daarom wist ik dat je mijn reactie kon lezen. Ook je antwoord is prima! 👍
congratulation on your promotion and immigrant status. It is a big burden off your chest when you get the residency status and congrats on your 10 year anniversary. Good video:)
Thank you so much! I didn’t get residency though, so can’t receive any congratulations for that 😉but for everything else, I am very happy with! Thanks for watching 🤍
