i havent been to netherlands, but i know it's expensive
i hope you didnt get the info from cia factbooks because they are far away from reality for most countries. For example, they state that cyprus has purchasing power parity - $15,000 which is a joke. Cyprus wages are extremely high and it's one of the most expensive places to live. Malta is not so expensive, but still it's not a cheap country either. The good part is that their tax rate is something like 15% from what I remember
