Hometown & Country:: Maastricht is a two faced city as many other cities around the world are. On the surface you see the savoring of life. But if you get a chance to look deeper you see a city with its own problems and solutions.

Maastricht is located on the banks of the river Meuse in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. All developments you can find in the Netherlands and Europe, you can find in Maastricht. You can find brain drain, students who studied in Maastricht leave to go work somewhere else. You can find a excelerated growth of senior citizens, as younger people leave to find work in places that have more job opportunities. You find internationalization due to that fact that Maastricht is closer to Aachen. Liege/Luik and Brussels than to The Hague or Amsterdam. You can find drugs problems and criminal organization, due to the fact that the Dutch criminal laws are often more leniant than those of its surrounding countries. Limburg has the longest border with foreign countries of all the Dutch provinces, and Maastricht lies direct on the borders of Belgian Limburg, which makes over the border cooperation of police forces necessary.

But besides all these problems, it is better to live in the Netherlands, where government help is only a civil servant away.
