All Japanese Welcome in Holland
The arbieds inspectie, a sort of immigration control agency of the Dutch state, recently fined the Japan cultural organization of Rotterdam 60,000€ because they had invited carpenters out of Japan to build an authentic tea house for them but the carpenters had no work permits. In their own defense this organization discovered a 400 year-old unused but still valid treaty allowing Japanese to work in the Netherlands. So if they want, Japanese citizens can come now to The Netherlands and work.

Re: All Japanese Welcome in Holland
I saw this story in Trouw. It is then the question just what was the story about? Immigration policy, Dutch bureaucracy, Japanese cultural exchange, how an institution goes about facilitating such a project? Or we could take it to another level and ask maybe if it says more about the quality and nature of mainstream corporate media. I mean I know what I found most noteworthy but still cannot say just what the article was about.
Well, within that article there was some information to help answer your questions.
The location is Rotterdam, the giver of the assignment to build the tea house was the Japanese cultural organization there, so more private than public I guess. The company running the job- if you mean the Japanese company that was not mentioned only that the company owner was from a small island and this was his first time off the island and he got a personal 100€ fine for his negligence.
There was a picture of a very beautiful tea house accompanying that article and maybe we can imply that was the center of the controversy and if so we are just getting wind of the whole thing after the fact, huh, typical.
If you find out more Mathieu maybe you will pass it on here, thanks.

I believe this article is about the project, but I can't be sure:Mathieu wrote:Where is this tea house being build? Is it for a public project or a private client, What company is running the job?

Re: All Japanese Welcome in Holland
Thanx Evans for doing such a quick research job.
I guess I have to visit this place next month or so when I need to go to Rotterdam.

Re: All Japanese Welcome in Holland
Mr. Evans, thanks for posting that information. I liked the video which brings me to my question (and to anyone who can help me advance beyond caveman smarts) how do you post links to a video or story? Does anyone have a recommendation on a video camera? I like the idea of a GoPro with the intent of using it as regular camera - any thoughts? I can take video on my iPhone but with limited length. Also does anyone have a video editing program they recommend?
