Right...don't forget about Don Quixote and the windmill...
there is always a rumor about them being bad tempered..

No words are racist. Actions are racist.
Say what you need to explain yourself.
If you are not racist it will shine through.

Bobby, Holland is also famous for a huge red-light district. Maybe you guys can swap hooker tips?

yes, i've heard that except for holidays they are very thrifty about spendings. They have a high standard of living like other western europeans but they spend less. I think it's because their country is very small and one third of it was built from the sea. They are being thankful for what they have from their fight with nature.

Marijuana is not entirely "legal" in Holland; the deal is this:

in the 80ies, the Dutch government started an experiment allowing for "cofee shops" to sell marijuana. This was initiated in an effort to get criminal underworld activity away from anything marijuana-related. The plan was a success, hence today there's "coffee shops" in nearly every town. They do allow you to get just a limited amount of grams per day. Its regulated, but definitely not entirely legal.

The best ! Try putting them in your microwave for 2 or 3 second because they heat up real fast.

Really, the tallest ? Didn't know that.. I guess Swedes are close to that. People say its due to dairy, or spinach, or because we get our butts kicked a lot while young.. I wouldn't know.. legal gay marriage, yeah; its common sense, right ?

A lawyer friend of mine spent a few years in Holland, coming from the UK; he was amazed about each region having its own dialects and customs, since its already a small country.
