1. I should go back to Holland now

I need some money

[da_chimperor]

2. We can get together and have some hash brownies

There's at least two other DUers also in the netherlands, so it can be a group thing. :thumbsup:

[MrScorpio]

4. Frankly, If I could go back there to live, I'd do it in a heartbeat

Despite the fact that my wife is a naturalized American citizen who has lived most of her life in the states, she speaks fluent Dutch.

We'll fit right in

15. I have the possibility to live over here once i've graduated (2 years)

and i'm seriously considering it. A pretty good job is guaranteed if I do well at my internship this fall, so we'll see what the future holds. My dutch is rather shabby, but I can get by with it.

[joeybee12]

3. So...do you need money to get there, or do you need to go there to

get money?

[MrScorpio]

5. I need money to go

What would be perfect is for me to get a job that sends me there.

That would be the most perfect thing in the world.

[joeybee12]

6. Lots of development going on in Amsterdam right now--must be a

good sign of their economy--I bet you could find something.

7. gorgeous!

that's it i'm going to the netherlands my next trip.

[joeybee12]

8. Take me with you! I've only been back two weeks, and I'm already

homesick!

9. Arnhem. In front of the police station

[joeybee12]

13. Doesn't look like a tulip to me!

:shrug:

[Tsiyu]

17. Nice

Anaheim Ladies' Auxiliary?

[China_cat]

22. Arnhem...Netherlands

Second favorite plant.

[Tsiyu]

24. OOOOHHHHH!!!!!

Gotcha. i thought it was Anaheim, California...

Need new glasses, methinks.

But I did know what the plant was right away, strangely ;)

[auntAgonist]

10. absolutely breathtaking ..

aA

[joeybee12]

11. Thanks for the nice comments...

...photos of the bulbfields really don't do them justice--it's like looking out onto a sea of flowers.

[donheld]

12. beautiful!

:bounce:

[joeybee12]

14. Thanks!

:hi:

[Tsiyu]

16. Now didja have to go and do that?

Jeez. And I'm on the no-Fly list, too, I'm sure of it, or I might pack up and be gone.

If you love flowers you have to visit the Floriade once in a lifetime. I'm organizing for the 2012 one if anyone is interested LOL

I was there in '82

Queen Beatrix throws a hell of a party....:party:

[joeybee12]

18. Yeah, Beatrix rocks....

...Netherlands' royalty I can handle, it's the English kind where they still think it means something that bugs me.

[Tsiyu]

20. I had 'Audience" with Her Majesty

and she was so down to earth and kind.

I would love to live in the Netherlands. Maastricht and elsewhere in Limburg were the places I explored the most, but nothing beats Amsterdam for meals and other amusements.

And those flowers......

[joeybee12]

23. That's what I always hear about Bea--down to earth--rides her bike

around just like everyone else.

[flamingyouth]

19. Beautiful!

[joeybee12]

21. Thanks!

25. Have you been to Madurodam yet?

Near The Hague, the Netherlands in miniature. Cool beyond belief.

(Your pictures are gorgeous, by the way. Nominating.)

[joeybee12]

26. Thanks for the compliments and the nomination...haven't been the

Maurodam yet--I did get to Haarlem for a day--very close to Amsterdam, and sort a tidy, small version of Amsterdam. Everything is just too wonderful there!

[joeybee12]

27. A kick before I log off for dinner!

[joeybee12]

28. One more kick, and now it's time for bed!

[joeybee12]

29. Kicking for the morning crowd--if anyone's interested...besides, I don't

have time to post new ones this a.m.!
