I'd be interested in reading a follow-up to this article. Is she integrated into the culture? Does she want to be? What does she think now after more than enough time to reflect, consider, meet, congregate, and delve into the life of another culture? What about her views on the United States and reverse culture shock?

I moved to the Netherlands more than three years ago as a 20-year-old college dropout fed up with living in an economically depressed city. My feelings about the Netherlands and the Dutch, and Dutch, and the coffee here, have changed considerably, sometimes even 180 degrees, since I first arrived, and I can't imagine that the writer hasn't experienced a similar process of development.

Please wait...
