His New Outlook In Life

A surprise message was left on my facebook last week. I met him five years ago when I was in my country. He is a good, hardworking and smart guy. He searched me on the net and found my blogs and facebook account. I was so happy to hear that he is enjoying his new job being an account manager in one of the call centers in his place. He has now a new outlook in life...enjoy life to the fullest. He used to work more than eight hours a day to gain knowledge about the things he wanted to learn. Those days were over. He has now a good paid job. He is saving money to visit places. His plans are to see Europe and the rest of the world. I cannot wait to see him at Schiphol Airport someday. He can stay with us in my humble place or stay in one of the Amsterdam Youth hostels which is just few minutes drive from our house. Many tourist attractions are close to this hostel like boutiques, restaurants, shops, theaters and more. If he will stay in Amsterdam then he can enjoy the midnight life.
Thousands of tourists come to visit Amsterdam every year. If you plan to travel in Amsterdam then you made the right choice. Amsterdam has many things to offer.

The oldest architectures like buildings, museums, dams, windmills, stores, churches etc. are very intriguing and captivating. Discover the secret of the dam square. See the unique and amazing portraits of Rembrandt van Rijn at The Rembrandt Amsterdam museum which is located at the heart of the city.
Discover more about this interesting old city when you travel in Holland.

Are You a Blogger or Blooger?

Blogging is just like any hobby which the blogger feels relax when he sits behind his computer searching something new on the net. This hobby has rapidly spread and increased. Many bloggers write for a living and some is just for fun.

Here are some of the blog-related terms:
- Audioblog
A blog where the posts consist mainly of voice recordings sent by mobile phone, sometimes  with some short text message added for metadata purposes. (cf. podcasting)
- Blaudience
The audience, or readership, of a blog
- Bloggies
One of the most popular blog awards.
- Blog hopping
to follow links from one blog entry to another, with related side-trips to various articles, sites, discussion forums, and more.

BLOOGER
is a blogger who exhibits adolescent tendencies and lacks basic social graces or good manners. A portmanteau of "blog" and "booger."
- Boreblogging
Writing about personal matters that are barely interesting even to the writer -- preferably in a slightly bent fashion so as to make it fun to read in spite of the subject matter.
- Permanent link
The unique URL of a single post. Use this when you want to link to a post somewhere.
- Ping
The alert in the TrackBack system that notifies the original poster of a blog post when someone else writes an entry concerning the original post.
- Post

These are just few of the terms. You can find the rest of the terms at http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/blogroll

Excellent, Secure and Reliable Webhosting Services

One of the top ten webhosting companies is InMotion. Read about the reviews of this company at webhostingrating.com.

Many bloggers and website owners are looking for the best webhosting services. There are many webhosting companies but only few offers a good quality and excellent service.
You should read the inmotion review and found out what the company can offer you and help your webhosting needs.

I have read the reviews and I can say that many customers are very satisfied, impressed and happy about their services like:
-quick response to the needs of the customers,
-technical support is very attentive to the queries of the customers.
-customer service is available 24/7 which is very useful to many bloggers who work during the day and can only open their blogs in the evening. The technical knowledge of the technical support staff is very important to a webhosting company because many bloggers and website owners have no idea how to switch a free hosted to a hosted site. You do not have to worry about this because the InMotion technical support is always there to help and explain to you in the simplest way so that you can fix your problem in a minute.

I have experienced with my other blog that one day my blog could not be found. I have tried many times to find my blog on the net but I never found it. So, I switched it back to the free hosted site. I was very upset. I have paid for a year but half way my blog was lost. I could not contact the company because I forgot the name. I should have written it down---my fault anyway.

InMotion is here for you who are looking for a service that is excellent, secure and reliable.
For my next blog, I will have it hosted by Inmotion. Many have tried InMotionHosting, why not give a try.

About this Blog

I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.
For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.
Their culture is very interesting.
