Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22207672 Maybe a bit more expensive than the US midwest. But you'll feel very safe and cars there keep an eye out for walkers and bike riders. Thank you very much. I agree with you on it being a great destination and it's nice to hear. You have any plans on visiting or moving there yourself? "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams."

Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Unless you personally interviewed 10,000 people you're the one who doesn't have any data, only anecdote. statistics are flawed by nature. a small sample can never represent a whole, unless it the whole was evenly distributed. our world isn't. no. i actually spent years in churches on sunday mornings, in both the netherlands and belgium. I was surprised to learn that the population density of the Netherlands (404 pop/km^2) is actually slightly less then England's [sic]. Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD that, i didn't expect too. |

The west is not the place to live, it's only nice for daytrips or partying in which case our small size and good public transport will get you there in no time. Get accustomed with the folowing foods: drop, bitterballen, pannenkoeken, haring en boerenkool! |

Most people very boring and shallow just as the landscape (which is really not natural at all.) The climate SUCKS, and every neighbourhood outside the cities is the most depressing thing you'll ever see. The only good thing about the Netherlands is Amsterdam! Everywhere else you will feel lost and out of place as an American. |

Holland is two provinces. Quoting: Ral We don't call all Canadians "Ontarians", do we? So Netherlanders and Dutch are synonymous, but Holland and Netherlands aren't it's pretty obvious that Dutchies have SOMETHING TO HIDE!!! Otherwise why would they need THREE DIFFERENT NAMES for their people and country!?!!?!!!??!?!? Three names that mean three different things. Did you read and understand my post? |

I remember a coworker telling me that if you murder someone, you might be able to get off without jail time but if you cheat on your taxes, expect the death penalty.
