Interesting to see people mentioning our great artists. I must be a little nitpicker here and say that it wasn't the Renaissance, but in fact the Baroque period that Rembrandt, Vermeer etc. were part of. Holland didn't play any significant role in the Renaissance. Just so you know
when i think about holland i kinda think about cities more than windmills and tulips, though it is "folchlorical"(?), besides of that, i see it as a very good place in terms of personal developement.
btw: that painting is van eyck´s "arnolfini marriage" which belongs to the XVth. century, which is renaissance´s cuatrocento.
open minded people, coffeshops, drugs, amesterdam, ajax, van nilestelroy, tiesto, banana trains, tulpans, water canals...
one wierd thing was that not been able to buy food exept from restaurangs in the city, no food supermarkets at all in the centre of amsterdam
I see Holland as a progressive country, from what I understand - politically, socially...smoke a phat one in a coffee shop with dutch choclate in Amsterdam while wearing wooden clogs before an Ajax vs. PSV game which will be followed by a minimal excursion into the night. Sounds like fun eh?
