AMSTERDAM GRAPHIC DESIGN AGENCIES

I've been thinking about places that I want to apply for industrial experience, or just visit, that are slightly further afield than England. My uncle and auntie have just moved from Holland to England, however their house is still unsold, and they feel that it wont be selling any time particularly soon. I have the oppertunity of a place to stay if I were to go out there. The house is a 30 minute train ride from Amsterdam, the house itself being in Hilversum; which is a the main media/television hub in the whole of Holland. This obviously presents an array of graphic design companies that I could research and potentially contact. I have already had industrial experience for two weeks in an advertising agency called 'Blast Radius' in Amsterdam which I really enjoyed a couple of summers ago. Blast focusses mainly on webdesign which is not something I am masssively interested in. I would prefer to get some experience somewhere else so I can experience a different environment and compare and contrast them. Obviously the house could be sold at any point, so I think I would need to organise visiting in either the reading week or Easter break....
