Im Australian, though I was there recently. You had cheap beer, and it was nice. The people are pretty friendly as well. Seems like a good country.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the weed. It's pretty decent actually. Not very powerful, but even if you're completely new you're right at ease in any of the coffeeshops. They'll roll the spliff and everything. My favortie blend was Yellow Cab, and I had plenty of that. I bought a fair bit, and when the bus left to go on to Germany, we had to finish it all. We were so high all day, lol. Also, that was the day Australia lost to Italy, so the weed helped console us over the loss.

Great country with a Government with a little sense. If alcohol is legal, why not weed? Well having Bush in charge doesn't help the rest of the world when it comes to topics like that.

I love The Netherlands, and I'm Irish.

Dude you should come to the netherlands as a holiday. Weed and ho's are legel here in the netherlands. It would be the time of your life. And I defenitly would visit the gaming areas. Holland is a gaming heaven. BTW clogs are only for tourists, not for the inhabitants. And like 95% of the dutch know Enlglish!!

Yeah. I went to Boom Chicago in Amsterdam and loved it. I saw the Red Light District, Im amazed at how beautiful the girls actually are. The weed is fairly potent, it's a good mix. The shrooms are decent, but Im not normally into that. The clog thing, get over it. Its a tacky souvenir that no one over there wears.

I love Amsterdam. It looks like a Venice, done right. I've got nothing against Venice, but I personally didn't like it. Amsterdam reminds me of it though, with all the canals. But it's a better designed city, and not so touristy and commercialised.

I love it. The last time I was in Amsterdam I took the Heineken Brewery tour for the equivalent of $1. Our tour group was the first to make it to the big bar in the back. So in the end I think we had a wonderful tour and something like 7 free beers - good ones! Best dollar I ever spent.

Oh, good people and good weed too of course. :wink:

Oh btw on the topic of Heineken. My bro recently had a house welcoming party and bought loads of beer. he got like 5 slabs of aussie beer ($25 a slab) and 1 of $80 a slab Heineken. I came over the day after the party .. all the beer was gone except the slab of Heineken was untouched. WTF?! Most of his friends are about 4 years younger than me so I guess they haven't developed a taste for beer yet, anyway I've been going around there a lot lately and he hasn't noticed why yet. :P

Yeah they know english but they can't pronounce any word correctly. They even suck at their own language. I've been to Holland many and many times and I think they're pretty nice but too active.
If you wonder how I know all this, I'm belgian.

I'm 25% Dutch on my fathers' side. No idea where in the Netherlands we hail from. I do believe we still have ancestors that carry on our name (provide my last name goes back enough to start in the Netherlands).

If there's two things I hate in the world, it's people that are intolerant to others beliefs, and the Dutch:P Seriously though, from what I've heard, it sounds like a great place.

Why does your country have two totally different names, and why is the adjective describing people from your country completely different from either of those names? What are you trying to hide?

Just kidding, I don't think anbody has a problem with the netherland/holland/the dutch. (Well I'm sure somebody does, but not very many people.)
