Moving from Rotterdam to Hilversum update!

Moving from Rotterdam to Hilversum update! We are right in the middle of moving when Tammy finds out I can't be left alone. New Hidden Treasures on Thursday that we both love to do...I think this place will be so cool!

    Oh my Hilversum? Moving up in the world? Haha, but no seriously, Hilversum and Het Gooi is one of the most desirable areas in the entire country to live, so congrats! Now all you need to do is to learn how to play golf, buy some vintage car to work on during the weekends and of course sell art with your online webshop and you are all set! Also, dont mention you moved there from Rotterdam but make up some story about being wealthy Texan old money people looking to retire in the cultural oasis that is the Old World. Oh and dont forget the red pants on sunday, or pink shirts, but not both! And not sure if you guys have kids... but field hockey... absolute must. Or tennis of course, thats always a safe bet. Also, never ever talk about money. Be as blase about it as possible, to make clear that money is such a trivial subject it not even crossed your mind as something that might be important.

    I was born and raised in Hilversum. I left about 33 years ago and moved to Haarlem because of my job at Schiphol Airport. Haarlem was closer. But now i am retired and the first thing i did was return to Hilversum, because that's my home. I feel really happy here and i am sure you will feel the same, living in Hilversum. So welcome to our beautiful city! 😄

    I went to Hilversum last spring to visit a good friend of mine from way back. It is a lovely town, I was very impressed by it, 20 minutes from Amsterdam, a wonderful market on Saturdays and we visited an excellent Indonesian restaurant called Spandershoeve. What's not to like? I think you will not regret the move.

    I wish you a happy life in Hilversum. There may be significant differences between neighborhoods. You just need to have some luck. I strongly recommend visiting the most famous brasserie in that area, Café Moeke Spijkstra in Blaricum, The Singer Museum, Nick's Vollebregt's Jazzcafé. and Café 't Bonte Paard, all in Laren. Hilversum is part of Het Gooi, an area of The Netherlands where people tend to be a bit to very stuck up, i.e. status conscious, especially the uneducated nouveau riche. It is difficult to mix with people around Loosdrecht. And then you have pancake alley in De Lage Vuursche just opposite the dwelling of Queen-mother Juliana, Slot Drakesteijn.

    The only thing I know about Hilversum is that every Saturday afternoon, in theater De Vorstin, there is a live radio show from 4 pm to 6 pm with live performances by Dutch artists. And you can go there for free. I listen to this radio show every week, but for me it is too far away to go there personally. You might give it a try, now that you live in Hilversum, although the interviews are in Dutch.

    To move from Rotterdam to what is basically an Amsterdam suburb is one thing, but to add insult to injury with that sweater ... Really curious to see how you will experience the shift from the 'just be normal' attitude of friendly-open-grumpy Rotterdam to the pinnacle of "keeping up with the Joneses" and the "there's nothing outside of Amsterdam" of our arrogant neighbors to the north. You'll notice it, believe me.. Just tell anyone there where you just moved from..
