What's better, Netherlands or Germany?

many design mags/mailinglists/media/sites here are loaded with "DUTCH DESIGN this" DUTCH DESIGN that.." Even if there's a fair abroad you get a letter in the mail only about the dutch designers and where to find them, not about foreign designers. Holland is extremely introspective imho. Not looking outward.. This whole DUTCH DESIGN thing has for a long time been financed heavily by the natnl. govt. and it seems to WORK! But there's only a handful shops doing really interesting work, while i can find so many more abroad. Interaction design (web in particular) is quite disappointing here compared to what happens at agencies in for instance the US and to some extent the UK. Also because most clients here aren't really as big on budget as some are in the US for instance. Also, quite a fair share of the really interesting alternative graphic design here is also funded by various culture/artfunds. There's not so much to make here, i think in the UK/US designers earn a bit better. And mind you, the rent here is high. Especially in Amsterdam, it is friggin' expensive!!!

In my 30-something years of life I have learned just one thing (as moamoa just pointed out): don't follow your dreams - keep them.

also, stay put. be happy with what you got and who you are. crisis is here! foodprices are rising! ice is melting! sea is rising! population is rising! costs are rising!

Since 1996 I've spent a lot of time in Amsterdam as my dad moved there with work..so for me, i suppose, its more nostalgiac, as I remember all those great summer days flying round on my bike. I come from Dublin where its EXTREMELY expensive and our public services are shit so I appreciate how well things work there. I've always felt at home in Amsterdam, it has everything you want in a big city and everything you want from a small village in my opinion. Plus the best music venue in the world, The Pardiso.

- if there's ONE thing people complain lots about ehre is PUBLIC TRANSPORT!janne76
- if you want a well-working city go to Zurich, Switzerland.. oh and bring a bag of cash..janne76
- ja Zurich is amazing in this case, but the rent is cheaper then in Amsterdammoamoa
- I know teh Dutch like to complain..but come to Dublin (if you can because there isnt proper public transport from the airport to the city centre).
