FINAL COMMENTS

Holland is not the most beautiful country in the world, neither is its population but study there is gorgeous(maybe it's the same everywhere)and this is a country where you fell the freedom and the tolerance -yep it's not only a stereotype! as a travel you should go to dan hague, also spend an afternoon in utrech, ride your bike till giethoorn, and of course walk along amsterdam's canals while eating dutch fries!
