Welcome to my homeland, the Netherlands

by catnl - last update: Jun 9, 2008

I live here in the Netherlands at Eindhoven

Netherlands is a small (but big at certain points) and beautifull country in Europe and borders with Belgium and Germany, devided in 12 provinces. Each provence has a capital city. I live in Noord-Brabant,a provence in the south.
Ports and harbors: Amsterdam, Delfzijl, Dordrecht, Eemshaven, Groningen, Haarlem, Ijmuiden, Maastricht, Rotterdam, Terneuzen, Utrecht, Vlissingen

The capital city of Noord Brabant is called 's-Hertogenbosch or Den Bosch.
My hometown is Eindhoven, fifth city of Holland, more than 200.000 inhabitants.
More info at my Eindhoven pages.

Events in the Netherlands

I have visited many places several times in Holland but its not possible to insert them all on this site, i made travelogues instead of tips.
U can contact me through here or at my own chatroom when iam there:

Rotterdam 2002, raw herring

Delicious...Haringhappen, a Dutch custom

Herrings are for sale at markets, special seafoodshops, at boulevards near beaches, or just somewhere on fleemarkets.

Just choose a herring, with or without onions, hold it in the air and just let it slip into ur mouth...
DELICIOUS
