Are belgium/austria/switzerland/luxembourg good places to work/retire in?
(Please read this whole thing. I already asked this question before, but now i have more details)Im currently a resident in Florida, and im planning to get at least a bachelors in applied mathematics. I saw a similar question a few minutes ago, and there was an answer that said that you can go and work in a country that is in the EU if you have citizenship in another country that is also in the EU. Well i do, so would be better to build my career in US or Europe?I know those countries are really nice, so should i work here and then retire there, or would it be ok if i moved there to wrok after i get my diploma?

I think Luxemburg is the best (less taxes)

Just follow your hearth. Nobody can predict how the world will look like in 10 years. If you think you will make a good career US is the best option. You have to take in account too the language barrier in the beginning. All the countrys you mentioned are Dutch, french or German speaking. Switzerland is even not a member of European Union, so the rule of the membership is not valid there. Europe is more social and the cultural Facilities are wider. The pesion is much higher in europe (but who knows what it will be in 10 years...) comparing a Belgian/french company with a US-company based in belgium: a european company is more hierarchical structured. I know nobody who went live and work in Luxembourg because of tax reasons because the money you saved that way, you will have to spend on living.

Health Insurance Belgium
Health Insurance Belgium?
My wife and I have recently relocated to Antwerp, Belgium. She is dutch and already has insurance in Holland since she is working there. So my question is since it seems that insurance and work go hand & hand. Is there a way to just get insurance in Belgium without having work yet? and if so what's the website and is there a comparison website?

i think the best thing you can do is contact a health insurance fund. you'll find some usefull information (i hope) on https://www.socialsecurity.be/site_fr/citizen/Infos/general/02_04/index.htm?lang=fr&action=home&id=4125 this site comes in french, dutch and german, not in english ...

Basic health insurance is covered, both in the Netherlands and Belgium, by the government. In Belgium the best way to comply to the regulations to be insured is to be employed. People living of social welfare are also covered. But your situation is somewhat different I guess. Anyway you should enroll in either the government health fund or one of the private funds. The largest fund in Belgium is the Catholic one: www.cm.be. The government fund in Antwerp: http://www.caami-hziv.fgov.be/gd-antwerpen-N.htm In the Olijftakstraat 7, Antwerp (government fund) they should be able to answer your questions. Additional health insurance can be offered/provided for by an employer or individually taken. These additional insurances are also offered by the large funds (CM / Socialist Fund / Neutral Fund) and private insurance companies.

Its a Quad band phone, supporting Four frequencies (GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 & GSM 1900) see if these are compatible with your service provider.

Belgium War Graves- Careers and Internships.
Belgium War Graves- Careers and Internships.?
I loved visiting the In Flanders Field Museum in Ypres a few years ago, and as a result I always wanted to do a gap year/voluntary work in Belgium. I really don't know where to begin and how to go about it... just wondered if anyone had any ideas or suggestions :-) I'm in my first year at Uni now, and was wondering about doing something for 3 months in the summer. Any ideas??? I'd be so grateful :) x I'm British. I was thinking voluntary work. Thanks x Thank you- this has really really helped me. :-) I'm not a gentleman hahaha...I'm a girl. But thanks!!x

Do you want to work around the War Graves or does not matter what or where you want to work? In the first case you can start by contacting: - the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this organisation take care of the British war graves http://www.cwgc.org/ - the people of the IJzertoren in Diksmuide also can use volunteers. This organisation works around Peace, Freedom and Tolerance http://www.ijzertoren.org/? (it seems they can use an technical editor for their website also) - in the small village "Mesen" there is an Irish Peace Park. Maybe they can use someone to help. http://www.mesen.be/website-en/116-www.html For other volunteer work you can start checking these sites: http://www.volunteerabroad.com/Belgium.cfm http://www.4icj.com/be/10-seasonal-jobs-volunteering.htm http://www.transitionsabroad.com/listings/work/volunteer/volunteer_in_belgium.shtml http://europa.eu/youth/volunteering_-_exchanges/index_be_en.html and of course you are always welcome to do my housekeeping for free ;-)

Dom what can I say this is fab?not many young people want to do this and I for one think this is the making of a fine young gentleman,remember you will need accommodation and money for food and I know that for a volunteer its not really a thing that is done in Belgium but maybe Ypres is different!good luck I would check here in Briton first at the army to see if they can correspond for you?
