Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?

Good luck finding more than a few books on niche topics in, say, Dutch (ask me how I know).
I deeply regret not hanging onto my US library card.

Understandable, just another reason to learn the country’s language then.

He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.

She, but thank you, this was my point exactly.

Yeah, I completely misread the comment, I’ll just take the L sorry.

I speak the language fluently; that’s not the problem.
It’s the fact that there are a much smaller number of books available on most topics because the country is so small.

My bad, I misread your comment, sorry.
