I went through the Netherlands (Holland is a region of the Netherlands) once on the way to Denmark via Germany, it was only around ten km and it was night so I didn't notice much...

The average age of a heroin addict in Holland is over fifty.
Here it's under 25.
Meaning their young people aren't taking it up.
Rape and crimes against children are lower than here.

Why does Micky want to come back here?
Because it's home.

A liberal country that doesn't see puff as the big, bad bogeyman. I watched that village on TV one night - years back now. Also thought it cool that you got out at weekends. Hang them high is the shout here, when half of them don't know the difference between soft and hard drugs.

I also love what they have did for the Dementia patients - again looked on with thought, not stuck in a chair and doped to their eyes all day, but rather a place where it's been tailored for them to live. They have all the things they would have saw when younger, not high tech gadgets they have no idea on how to work. Wish we had that here.

Though...............I'd get the bikes dumped in the canals. Dunno how often I was near knocked over!

Been 4 times. It's freezing coz it's so flat. Wouldn't wish to stay there though.

The bikes are because it so flat.
In Amsterdam fat people kind of stood out as Tourists.
Love the place in a good summer but it's awful in winter.

It's whatever I decide to type at the time though. But to be fair I probably don't type Oooooh to someone as much as you do.

Rockstar, I still don't know why but I still feel like wrapping that guitar around your head

Where is Micky, has he got married?

Not so far. I'm kinda hoping he's around and is doing well.
