You lucky sod!!That's all I can say....I docked there (Willemshaven) numerous times when I was at sea.

When you get there do look up Campo Alegre!!!!! Google is your friend....

I'd give my right wotsit to work there!!! David

I am hardly an expert, but the crime situation is like anywhere else, there are good areas and bad areas. I think 85K would do nicely.

I'm a Warvet myself... if this government related? Heck I might be interested... need an assistant?

As far as murder is concerned per 100,000 the USA averages approx 5.4
As far as murder is concerned per 100,000 the Netherlands avearges approx .9

Your stats are for the Netherlands, N. Antilles are a different story, although I doubt their crime rates are higher than the US....

Curacao is not as good as Holland

Watch your car and your goodies.

As long as you are insured there's no problem with the car.

85K will do , try to get a house near to the Dutch Marine Corps (lot of dutch S.E.A.L.S)

If you get mugged just surrender your goodies , don't go to the Campo Allegre with your woman knowing it , in time she'll kill you
