Actually, truth is - If you ain't Dutch, you're likely to be somewhat unattractive and probably uptight.

We've all heard about what goes on this country, let's not dwell. But JOISUS. A spunkier race of people doesn't exist. They rival the guys and gals of Slovenia, that's for sure.

Incredibly well dressed, fit, environmentally friendly "people" (I'm not convinced there's no genetic engineering going on, so let's just call them people for now ok?) ride around on their cute little bikes having cute little conversations with their cute little friends.

Not a clog or a tulip in sight.

May I take this opportunity to quote my good friend (and soon to be published author) James Purchase, as I feel he summed up the Dutch rather well.

The Netherlands... "the global bastion of socially progressive thought. Everyone here wears these calm, frank and broody expressions that seem to say we are beautiful and open minded people whose liberal ways free us from the complexities that wrinkle the faces of all you not as pretty outsiders.. in fact I'm so impressed with this lot that when I get reincarnated im coming back as a Dutchie."

Hear hear James.

the pretty Dutch
I recently recieved my letter of acceptance to live in the Netherlands and prior to that i traveled back and forth from the US to Holland. Your friends comment was perfect! It was always interesting that the Dutch have a way about them that you rarely see in anyone else!
