That sounds like a solid plan! By the looks of it, you already checked the requirements to actually get into the Netherlands and live there for more than just a couple of months.
I can’t imagine how bad it must be for you to basically have to uproot your entire life, but I wish you the best of luck (wherever you actually have to rely on luck, like processing times for documents). It’s great to know that you do already have a couple of people in Europe at least adjacent to where you plan to go.
And sure! I do live in Bavaria, so it’s not the closest distance, but I’m certain we could eventually organise a meetup at some point.
I haven’t played it yet, but if you have a VR headset then Minesweeper Peak VR seems to be exactly what you’re looking for.
There’s also Mine3D which plays in your browser and is a rotatable cube of mines.
