I’m a Moroccan cognitive neuropsychology student m, we’re organizing a seminar for next month about the role and the importance of the cognitive Neuropsychologists, if there’s any student or professor of this field that wants to participate please let me know 😊
.....'Gemotiveerd door eigen levensopvattingen"....Dat is wel een heel hedendaagse draai aan de feiten. Sterker nog: een bewuste verdraaiing van de geschiedenis. Maar ja, de bedoeling zal dan ook wel zijn om het vooral niet te hebben over God, de Bijbel en Gereformeerd.

Jammer dat onze oude Uilenstede flat is gesloopt maar er is een prachtige sportaccomodatie voor in de plaats gekomen. Alle goeds gewenst met jullie mooie sportcentrum. Groet van een oud buurvrouw 1991-1995.
I'm Russian living in the Netherlands for 3 years. My weird things: 1. They criticize my character and my personal life. I'm lonely, don't have real friends and never had a partner. For me it's OK, but they hate me. "Tolerant" Dutch people call me direct "asociaal" (asocial). 2. Their climate policy. Such as in other European countries they're going crazy about the climate change. They deliberately asked me about my private life (it's not polite in my culture). I was even criticized for taking a shower for 15 minutes (I always need 15 minutes for being absolutely clean and relaxed or 10 minutes with stress). Their radical climate activists try to make everyone to do that within 5 minutes. 3. If they know, that I'm a Russian citizen, they deliberately try to talk about politics and about national conflicts, for example, about MH-17 air disaster. I hate it, and I always try to stop those conversations. 4. They're too direct. If Dutch people don't like you, they always try to send you back. "You don't have relatives and friends here. Go back! Go away!" 5. They drink alcohol and smoke MORE than Russian people. It's really so. For them it's normal to drink many times a week and smoke on the streets. It's not prohibit to advertise alcohol here. In Russia you're not allowed to drink in public places and smoke on the main streets, and advertisements of alcohol and tobacco are prohibited. The Russian government tries to stop the alcohol and tobacco consumption. And in Russia nobody is allowed to use drugs. I personally don't drink alcohol, don't smoke and don't use drugs. P.S. After getting my diploma (I still need to study for about 2,5 years) I'm going to move.
I'm sorry for your bad experience in the Netherlands. You ended up in social circles that do not care very much for foreigners or just plain hate them. Most of the Dutch people don't have any problems with foreigners, as long as the foreigners at least make an effort to adjust to our culture to a certain degree. Perhaps you'd be better off if you socialised with people who are more open and welcoming to foreigners. You write that you need to be here for another 2,5 years, so it's well worth the effort to meet people who will accept you as you are.
Kal vergeet te vermelden dat Abraham's vertrouwen in het - op een of andere wijze - terug ontvangen van Isaac geworteld is in de eerder door HaShem gegeven belofte, in Genesis XIX, dat Isaac de zoon van de belofte was waardoor het nageslacht van Abraham tot een groot en machtig volk zou worden (18:18). Het is krachtens dit vertrouwen op de goddelijke belofte dat Abraham stand kon houden in de beproeving, zoals ook wordt verklaard in Hebreeen 11:17-19. Overigens is Kal ook zeer onduidelijk in zijn stelling dat het in de door de Torah vermelde offers gaat om het geofferde en dat offeren nooit op-offeren is. Dit wordt voldoende weersproken door het simpele feit dat de geofferde dieren werkelijk geslacht werden. Hoe kan het dus in het offeren daarvan om het geofferde dier zelf gaan? Dat is nonsense. Bovendien haalt deze offertheorie van Kal heel de spanning uit het verhaal van het offer van Isaac. Als het al zondermeer duidelijk is dat offeren geen op-offeren is, wat is dan nog de moeilijkheid of beproeving van Abraham. Kal biedt dus geen duidelijk betoog.
If you want to take part in Dutch society: Learn Dutch. If you need local friends: Learn Dutch. Remember that this is a Dutch society where we speak Dutch and live in a Dutch culture. No matter how you look at it: English is a foreign language to us Dutch people. We more or less speak foreignish English. And the only reason why we do so is to serve the foreigners. Do you want to stay foreigner/stranger/visitor? By all means stick to English. In that case the message you are providing to the Dutch is: I do not care to learn Dutch, nor am I interested in Dutch culture. And you are also saying: Basically I am just briefly here and soon I am on my way out of here. You'll find out that the conversations with the Dutch will stay superficial and getting Dutch friends is going to be a challenge. It is all about respect, interest and investment. See If you are not interested in us... we are not interested in you! If you do not want to invest in yourself to learn Dutch, then we do not invest in you having a friendship with you. After all you are a guest in our country. And so you are a guest in our language as well, just like you are a guest in our culture. Want no longer to be a guest and become one of us? Learn to speak Dutch! And become Dutch as you take place in Dutch society. Picture this: What if I would want to go live in your country, and I refuse to speak the local language and stick to Dutch...and as a matter of fact I demand the locals of your country to talk back to me in Dutch as well... would that be respectful? Would that be in my personal interest? Would that lead to the desired achievement? Would that lead to local friends? Think about it ! Just saying...
The reason Dutch students don't mix with foreign students is just the language. I like to work in English. No problem. But privately, I want to use Dutch. Sorry, in this country it still is the official language. I would have great difficulty expressing myself in English on an emotional level. My English is simply not good enough for that. So, if you want to mingle, learn Dutch first. Preferably before you come here. Personally I have my doubts that half of the students at Dutch universities is foreign. Even though they pay 20.000 Euro a year (for non Eu residents), it is still a small fraction of the cost. I would say, let them pay 100.000-250.000 a year, which is the cost, and then they are welcome. I don't see why the Dutch tax payer has to pay half of what goes to higher education to educate the world. That being said, I would be in favor of making all higher education in the world UN funded. Then, I have no problems at all anymore with foreign students.

Paying 20K in tuition fees would not be a burden to the Dutch taxpayers at all because the actual cost is lower than that. You want foreign students out of the country? Fine, but don't use lies.
@@pakbeteve3445 FYI, I am not against foreign students. They are good for the economy and for European integration. The amounts of money were given to me a long time ago by my faculty leader at the university of Amsterdam (social science faculty).
Flat hiérarchies and Directness is what I appreciate about the Dutch. Example of Directness is when Dutch prime minister met with Trump and told him No
Very nice movie. What I miss is that most foreign students don't mix with the dutch students. They seam to live in totally seperated groups. They meet only on a few occasions, at sports for example. Big reason for this is the different timemanagement styles, I think.
The Netherlands belong to the 5 most happy countries and the 3 most free cultures in the world. If somebody has problems with being happy and free, he better see a psychiatrist. I don't understand the problems of all these students from nations where people are suppressed by their governments.
Doesn't take away the fact that any Amsterdam based university falls under the very same Dutch educational system like any other Dutch university does.
Nah man, sarcasm and taking the micky out of someone is best with a straight face. A few seconds of shock or hesitation is enough. Then you can smile or wink. Lol And yeah, bike lanes are sacred. Lastly: you bring your own spices? I think in this nation just about any culture's food is available so I can't imagine you won't be able to find the spices you want. Just ask around if necessary, perhaps in restaurants.
Actually, there is more choice of foods in the Netherlands than in any other country. You almost certainly can get those spices, but you have to know where to go and look.
Have heard about a continent named Asia?😂 Buddy please get out of mindset that West is world and everything is about west. If i don't consider France and Italy then europe has no food culture at all. Like all u guys use is a handful of spices and herbs. Asia has tons of them. Please wake up 😉
