Without dissin' any Dutch people on here, I could not life in the Netherlands. Not even Amsterdam. I worked out in Zeist for 6 months or so and was so fed up with the place after that, I said I'd never go back unless for a weeeknd city break

The hype is true - Holland is very flat - so flat you'll start craving land features, and for the most part (not the rule, just the most part) forget gourmet cuisine, you in for a life of dairy products and ham/cheese/bread combinations.
