  • I stayed here when I played in the Holland Cup. I have to say that the people, and the atmosphere are nothing, or if not more than extraordinary. The architecture is stunning, and breath taking. I would one day love to expand my education on the language, and move there. This country is on the top of my list, it is BEAUTIFUL!
