To be or not to be… an expat in Eindhoven
- So, where are you these days?
- Still in the Netherlands
- Where about in the Netherlands?
- Oh, Eindhoven.
[blank stare]
- You know- PSV, Philips, DAF…
This is the sample of dialogue I have whenever I meet up with a friend or acquaintance that I have not seen in a long time. The question I get asked most often is:
“So what is Eindhoven like?”
A very good question indeed.
What is Eindhoven like? I can tell you what Eindhoven isn’t like: Eindhoven is not at all like Amsterdam, or Rotterdam. It is not like Maastricht and it is definitely not like The Hague.
