The Netherlands is a wonderful place with some of the best educated enjoyable people I have ever met anyplace.
Visit and then live your dream. I know I am going back next month for at least a week and I wish I could make it permanent.

Wow Probono! Thanks for the info! For some weird reason I have this huge urge to visit the Netherlands. I also had a strong urge to go back east and visit Penn Dutch country. I think what it is is I grew up in a predominantly Dutch community with it's culture all around me. Plus having som Dutch ancestors.
I have to deal with a family tragedy at present but that should get handled soon and then I'll make way for the Netherlands proper.
Somehow I feel like it's a place I wanna be part of. ( If I can behave myself )
So how's the living there? Any spots to visit? I have friends all over Scandinavia and they're all encouraging me to visit. I need to handle business first though. As having taken art history in college I know I'll have a ball just checking out the art alone.
Any customs I need be aware of? ( there was that time in Australia a friend told me where one of his crew didn't want to drink at the bar and told the bartender 'no!' and turned his glass upside down and next thing he knew he was lying on the floor. Seems there's a custom down under that if you turn your glass upside down that means you're willing to fight everyone in the bar. )
