Tourism on Bleeding4Metal - Pt.7: The Netherlands

[shadowman]

Or Holland if you like...

Mas will enlighten us about her home country, but in the meanwhile we can all have a little saying about Dutch society and its crazy ways...

Now, being a neighbour of Holland (as every Belgian calls it) I may have some more inside information but don't let this bother you...

Ok, first things that come to mind when I think of Holland are :

My visits to the Efteling, the best amusement park I've ever been to. And yes, I have visited Disneyland Paris...
The Dutch soccer teams are way better than the Belgians ones ( :x  :x  :x ), At least for the moment...
Self assured people !
Tall guys !! And tall women as well !! 8)
Cheese !!!
The paradise for cyclists !
Holland is as flat a billiardcloth...

Mmm... I am sure I will think of more things to add, but why don't you go first...

 :P

- Coffee Shops
- Drug abuse
- Johan Cruyff
- "The Llama" Frank Rijkaard
- Propably the most disappointing national soccer team in the last 10 years: A collection of extremely talented single players obviously don't make a good team
- Queen Beatrice (sp?)
- Maxima, wife of Prince Willem-Alexander; a gourgeous woman
- wind mills
- cheese
- Klogs (sp?)
- "water streets": "Grachten" ?
- Amsterdam, propably the Babylon of the modern age

Amsterdam and magic mushroom-shops
Dunno almost anything about the Netherlands, spent like 30 minutes at the Airport of Amsterdam once... Oh, and yes, it's flat, isn't it

[shadowman]

Tss... course... how could I forget Cruijff... ?
Imo the best football player this planet has ever seen...
One my earliest tv football matches I remember, the famous WK final of '74...

The netherlands had a genuine dream team back then, now let me see :
Haan, Krol , Neeskens, Cruyff, Rensenbrink...

But HEY ! The Germans came up with a killer 11 as well :
Vogts, Breitner, Beckenbauer, Hoeness, Müller (?) correct me if I'm wrong here German friends..

Mas, thanks for solving so quick, but the "experts" usually wait a few days until they comment on the brainstorming
