🇳🇱Visiting the Netherlands
Being more Dutch than anything else, I naturally want to catalog Dutch things like drinking songs, other music, places to visit, phrases, and a few things to see.
Most the times I have travelled to the Netherlands, it was flying from Vancouver to Amsterdam via KLM. If you can fly KLM, that's the way to go as you get just a touch of Dutchness before you even set foot in the country.
I would say you need to go one a minimum of one each of:
- Art museum: preferably old art/bigger museum but the Escher museum is pretty cool too./
- WWII thing: Anne Frank or Corrie ten Boom museums are great (the former I haven't actually been to but the latter I have and is less touristy).
- Old church: it's some solid local history and architecture even if you don't care about the religious bit.
- Castle: depending where you end up that might be a bit harder.
Try consuming:
- Fries with satay peanut sauce and mayo, called "patat orloog" which means "frenchfry war".
- Frikandel speciaal (hot dog-esque sausage with a Dutch dipping sauce and chopped onion, no bun).
- Haring (herring).
