Breda is a lovely small city in the South of Noord Brabant in The Netherlands and only 10 minutes away from the Belgium border.
It is known for its Burgundian lifestyle: good eating, drinking and nightlife. Add some wonderful architecture, fascinating history and shopping, and you will have the time of your life.

VT meeting

MATIM organized a VT meeting on 11 October 2003 in honor of Waalewiener's visit to The Netherlands.
It was a great meeting with an international bunch of VTers.
Have a look in my travelogue for the whole story.

    Nuns playing strip poker? A convent converted into a casino might make lucky Protestants convert to Catholicism. By the way, you can find gambling monks at a few monasteries in Tibet. Have fun!
