    So yeah, it's in Eindhoven. An upcoming city with huge, technological history (Philips). There's an airport, and design, and a university and Brabantse gezelligheid. And you can cycle and experience various seasons, learn Dutch and English, cook, sing, laugh, practise your DIY skills and help renovate a unique historic mansion, near the city centre.
