Beautiful. I'd want to go to Holland just to see the old windmills

[SafeandSoundNL]

You should, Jasmine.This windmill is near the town of Purmerend, which is maybe 20km from Amsterdam. When you visit, rent a bike, buy a cycling map of the Amsterdam surrounding area and enjoy ... their's a lot to see and do (don't be one of those fools who visit the Netherlands, just to see the inside of a coffeeshop).

why not? especially for Americans who come from a backwards police state, it may be very refreshing to experience European freedom and a liberal mind set!

[SafeandSoundNL]

I have nothing against people who consume soft drugs sanely. And I am pro legalizing. But come on, you really call spending time in a coffeeshop all day and looking fuzzy you're entire visit, is equal to "experiencing freedom and a liberal mindset"? It is as bourgeois as the old-fashioned family idea, with in reality a daily sherry drinking wife and a man leaving the house every morning with his lunchbox, trying to conceal his being unemployed! You're 'experience' is found elsewhere.

Dear SafeandSoundNL, I am not an American. I am European just like you, and I was talking tongue in cheek. That is, with a smile on my face. I just wanted to tease the Americans because they often think their country is the only one that counts. But Europe has a lot to offer. In fact, I have been several times on holiday in the Netherlands, and I love your country and respect your culture.

Best wishes,

Willy from Berlin, Germany
