Dear Reader,
Welcome to Orangesplaash.
Orangesplaash is an expat and travel blog. Living as an Expat is all together a different experience, as any expat will vouch for. This experience evokes mixed reactions in an individual that range from euphoria on discovering something new to loneliness on being a foreigner in a new land. In between these, is a wide canvas of emotions which I have aimed to bring forth in this blog.
Orangesplaash depicts my journey as an Indian Expat in The Netherlands, as well as follows my travel adventures around the world. The blog discusses my cultural dilemmas and aims at covering topics as diverse as the government registration and documentation, housing, health care, insurance, travel, tourism etc - issues that one faces after landing in the Netherlands. In short, the blog outlines the nitty gritty details of living as an expat, aiming to provide the essentials.
By this point, you might be wondering about the name of this blog. Well, Orangesplaash signifies the Netherlands, a small but a wonderful country in Europe. Orange is the color of the House of Oranje-Nassau that is the Dutch Royal Family. Therefore, it has become one of the country's proudest national symbols displayed in its full glory on occasions like the Koninginnedag (the Queen's Birthday) and therefore, the name Orangesplaash.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this blog and find it useful. Please give in your inputs via comments or email to orangesplaash@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteVery nice Blog, I really enjoyed reading it. I will probably never move to the Netherlands, but I do visit there. I LOVE The Kuekenhof Gardens. I have grandchildren now, so my visits will be more limited. Keep blogging, you are very good !!
ReplyDelete@ Sondra : Thanks for the nice words. Its nice to know that you enjoyed reading my blog. True, the keukenhof garden is lovely, I cant stop admiring the tulips and other flower bulbs. Netherlands has a lot of natural beauty and that is precisely the reason why a travel here is a must :)
