religion-wise, i think it's mostly lutheran protestants and now muslim immigrants in the country.

Calvinists, not Lutherans. If you go there a lot how could you confuse the two? And the Muslim community only accounts for a little under 6% of the population.

Those are descriptors I would like to think my friends and my Mum would use about me-an easy going, friendly sort and very open minded. Obviously they must all be mistaken as it states Irish as my nationality on my birth cert. and passport.

Overall I like the Dutch , sure I have Dutch nephews and nieces who are fine people and I love to visit as much as possible but I spent enough time there to know that they have there fair share of dodgy characters who would think nothing of knocking shyte out of anybody who crossed their paths and the police are always fishing body's out of the canals to .
