Oh and for the OP, don't worry about the food, it's pretty much the same as in the States, and if you really miss certain brands and typical American foods and drinks, there are specialty shops all over Amsterdam where you can find them.

Same goes for media, most are available in English, movies are only subtitled in Dutch (so you can still enjoy tv and movies, even though we're waaaay behind on most shows and movies), and American newspapers and magazines are on sale in every bookstore.

Also, if you're going to be in Holland for a longer time, you might want to look in to getting a public transportation card (OV card), it's the best way of getting around the country, and the cities. You don't really need a car here as Holland is tiny and public transport is well organized and efficient, some companies arrange for their employees to get a personal OV card, so they can travel for free, see if your company does that too.

If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask!
