Hello Dutch Friends!



My family recently moved back to Portland from Holland after 6 years there. Our 2 boys were born in the Netherlands and our oldest, Coen (3 1/2) spoke dutch in school.

Unfortunately, my wife and my dutch isn't nearly as good, so we would love to keep up his conversational Dutch hear in Portland.

Therefore, does anyone know any kids or adults who are able to offer dutch language babysitting? Maybe 1-2 evenings a month. We live in NW…

Is anyone familiar with the current the rules and regulations on obtaining dual citizenship?  Or has anyone recently gone through this?

Thank you - Eveline

It's that time again. The Uwajimaya Market, located on Beav-Hillsdale Hwy in Beaverton, will hold their annual Polynesian Festival on the weekend of August 19-20. Special guest from Hawaii will be the "Godfather of Hawaiian Reggae' Bruddah Waltah who will perform on Sunday the 20th. This weekend event is free and open to the public.

Hallo,

Reeds enige tijd krijg ik updates van Eelco Keij, die zich sterk maakt voor Nederlanders in het buitenland. Zijn website is : www.eelcokeij.com

Mijn tip #1: Schrijf jouw email adres in (onder kopje "NIEUWS"), zodat je zelf direkt met regelmaat informatie krijgt over "Nederlanders in het Buitenland".

Mijn tip #2: Registreer je als kiezer, want de verkiezingen komen eraan..!

I am a retired Police Officer from Southern California, and now live in Bend. In Holland, our family lived in Haarlem and Roermond. That was 55 years ago. We came to Pasadena, California, March 12, 1962. Went to Jr High, High School & USC in California. I had to relinquish my Dutch Citizenship to keep my job as an Officer. Post career, relocated to Bend. 

On the first Saturday of the month, our Dutch Club here in Bend get together for coffee. Are there similar events in…

Het is weer oliebollen tijd!

Weet iemand of deze lekkernijen ergens in Portland te koop zijn?

Legislation has been changed. The moment you got AOW used to be the month you aged 65. Steps wise this is changing into 67 towards the year 2017. Depending on yourmore precise birthday: for 2016 you have to add  6 - 9  months to your birthday ! 

Hi All,

I wanted to start a blog on receiving AOW while you live in the US and you lived some years after your 15th Birthday in the Netherlands. I am about to turn 65 myself and so it might be interesting to see what an Expat qualifies for.…

Hi everyone,

I am in need of a notary public who is able to read a document in Dutch and legalize it. Please let me know if you know of such a person. thank you, Ineke deruyter
