Places to see in Netherlands ?
Flemlord: I've been there a few times and can comment on Amsterdamn from a tourist perspective.Counterculture: This is the best part of Amsterdam. The red light district and the coffee shops are both a must see. Go at night.Museums: The Van Gogh Museum was good. But the Rijksmuseum and Anne Frank House were disappointing.Other: Heineken was fun afternoon.We also rented a car for a few days and drove up the coast, which was a lot of fun. Lots of little villages, some touristy, some not. Edam was my favorite (where they make the cheese); lots of people in traditional dress, cute cheese girls everywhere. But we were there on the same day the Queen visited, so it may not always be that fun.Don't forget you can take trains to other cities on the weekends. Look into getting a Rail Pass--you have to order it in advance and it saves you lots of money on the trains.I'm trying to think of something geeky for the HN crowd. But I can't. Sorry.
