It Takes Two to Tango

‘The Dutch are proud of their country and they deserve it. So let them be proud of themselves: their sense of commerce and trade; their art and engineering; their bikes and dikes; their beer and football’

One foot here, one foot there

‘Here, even people on the street who don’t know you can smile and say: ‘Hello’. I find it absolutely wonderful! I also smile at other people, but in my own country I never get a smile in response. Here, you can just chat with a stranger about the weather, and it feels good.’
