For a long time I did not write to the Habr, and now it impatient. Stories are forgotten over time, erased from memory, I want to write down in the form in which I now remember.
I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 5 years, and I really like it here. Here we had a son, we bought a house and planted a tree next to him. But everything happened during the work. Here are some stories I want to tell.

Well, that’s all I wanted to tell, thanks for the attention of those who read to the end! And if you suddenly consider the Netherlands as a country where you would like to move and work here - write in a personal email, here or on Twitter - I will try to answer your questions!
