Final comments
Go and visit the Netherelands if you have the opportunity...you will learn about the Dutch culture and they way they think about life. It's amazing, everybody is free to do and say what he wants (according to law) without being criticized or judged. Protestant 'free will' is everywhere...and you'll love it!!
