living is relative to over here matey. A few of my work mates were relocated to Amsterdam. The 3 of them rent a 3 story place in the City. Between 3 it works out ok, but id imagine dear if your on your own. As you know, beer, birds, smokes are cheap (and available ).

Never had the experience of living there myself, only stayed there for the odd few nights here and there with work, and they put me up in the Krasnipolsky Hotel in Dam Square
