WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY ,MY VIEW OF HOLLAND WAS A LITTLE BOY TRYING TO SAVE HOLLAND BY STICKING HIS FINGER INTO A HOLE IN A DIKE............WHEN I VISITED THE COUNTRY ,I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED TO MANAGE FLOODING ......I LOVED THE VISIT TO THE MINIATURE CITY OF MADURODAM....AND I WAS AWED BY THEIR FLOWER INDUSTRY...AT PRESENT .....I APPRECIATE THEIR LIBERALISM IN THE TOLERATION OF WEED AND FACILITATION OF ASSISTED SUICIDES
