On Holland - by Laura (20)

When I think of The Netherlands, I have to imagine huge tulip fields, windsmills, Miss Antje with a broad smile, blond hair and a big piece of cheese (probably Gouda!) in her arms. But there are many other things in my mind that are typical of Holland.
The painter Rembrandt, Anne Frank in her hiding place, bicycles and the old town canals between close standing, colourful houses with their long, small windows. Coffee shops, crude herring and, naturally, Queen Beatrix with her unmistakable hairdo.
