Hey Rudy, welcome to the forum. I am not from your beautiful country, but lived there for about 6 years (1994-2001), in a great little suburb of Den Haag called Leidschendam. We really enjoyed our time there and spent many a weekend exploring the countryside on bike. Being from a country with very little "old" stuff (Canada), we got a good laugh out of the "Niewe Kerk" in Den Haag (1649) and the one in Delft (1381). We took learning the language quite seriously, and without fail in the shops etc. we'd proudly start in with our improperly pronounced and grammatically incorrect Dutch, only to have people apologise for not speaking English very well - and then carry on in English that was invariably better than ours! Amazing people and amazing country.
