I've seen this posted around a lot lately; I'm saving it here for myself. I can totally imagine living in the Netherlands someday, especially because my grandparents were from there and I identify with my Dutch heritage more than the other bits of me. :)

IIRC, El's M has a fascination with the Netherlands, too. Me and my M didn't really dig on it so much (at least not Amsterdam, but we did the DUMB ASS TOURIST thing and stayed in an icky, smelly, gross hotel in the Red Light District like idiots!) but it is really gorgeous and everyone speaks English and is Super Polite, which is HELLA nice in Europe :D

But, we'd probably still move to Southern Europe, if we did... Spain or the South of France or Italy or Greece... Euro road trips KICK ASS, though, so we could totally visit ya'll ALL THE TIME! (Except winter ;D)

[I also have a powerful urge to move to either Costa Rica or Buenos Aires, so we could fantasize about those places, too... DAMN I NEED TO LEARN SPANISH!)

PS: sorry to "internet yell" so much in my replies, I was too lazy to bold.
