> Dear all,
>
> I am currently pursuing a PhD in the department of Anthropology at
> Macquarie University (NSW, Australia). My research topic concerns
> cross-border marriages between Chinese men and Vietnamese women in  
> border
> zones (Guangxi/Quang Ning; Yunnan/Lao Cai). For the last year of my
> candidature, I will stay at the Free University of Amsterdam under a
> cotutelle agreement. I intend to submit my thesis around April 2011 so
> these last months will be more than crucial for me.
>
> I have been trying for several months already to organize  
> accommodation in
> Amsterdam but have not been successful so far.  I rely on a  
> scholarship
> and have a family to support. So ideally, I would rather opt for a
> house-sitting in Amsterdam to avoid high costs and the trouble to  
> rent an
> empty place and start everything from 0, just for a six/eight months  
> stay.
> It would also be possible to swap a place with my apartment in Kunming
> (Yunnan, China).
>
> I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion, any contact or any
> proposition related to accommodation opportunities in Amsterdam. My  
> dates
> are mid-October 2010 to May-June 2011.
>
> Just to let you know, my university cannot help me here, and I have
> registered on several web-sites such as sabbaticalhomes.com too.
> For more information, you can contact me off-list.
>
> Again, I am sorry to bother everyone with my own personal issues but  
> this
> is one of my last hopes.
>
> With many thanks for your understanding,
