Question

Is it hard to call from amsterdam to the united states? and do most people have computers in amsterdam?

Answer 1

Well if we didn't have computers and the internet you would not get a lot of answers!

I actually read sometime ago that the Netherlands (based on % of population in the countries) have a higher uptake of internet access than the US pro rata, so yes you can be assured that we are a very technologically forward country and you can expect all the same amenities as the US (and maybe more!)

It's not hard to call the US - you can just pick up the phone and call........ or use Skype, or use VOIP, or just use messenger services (Yahoo, hotmail, google talk etc)

So don't worry too much, it will be a home from home for the time that you are here!

Answer 2

No, it's very easy to call the US from Holland/Amsterdam.. Just dial 001, then the area code and then the number and you're through...

Almost everybody in Holland has a computer and Internet access... Actually, the Netherlands has the highest percentage (89%) of Internet users in the World (USA=9th with 69%) and has the World's third highest percentage (25%) of people with broadband access (USA=16th with 16%).

Answer 3

as you see we even do have electricity! ;-)
