Personal comments
Banks suck in Holland. I had no cash for 3 weeks because nobody in the banks could help me. I had to ask for money order from home and it cost me a lot.
Phone bills will be available 2 months later only. Was astonished with such kind of service.

You can say that nobody learnt Dutch, but all of us improved are English a lot. It was easy to communicate with teachers, local students and even locals themselves. No communications problems at all.
