A Dutchman about The Netherlands...

Should I or should I not? Give my opinion about my home country? And bore you with cliche's like overcrowded, traffic jams, bad weather, orange, liberal?

No, I shouldn't. I should leave that to you. Although I would have been able to give you a thorough description, since I left the country about 8 years ago. So why not? As a Belgian once said: Dutchmen suffer from "meningitis" (opinion sickness). We seem to have an opinion about everything. ederlanders lijden aan meningitis. Ze hebben overal een mening over. So I will refrain from giving my opinion, because, to my opinion, the opinion about our opinion sickness is quite a justifiable opinion...

Note: although I am born and bread Dutch, 50% of my blood is Indonesian. Just for the record...
