A Letter from the Netherlands
The blog recently entered into its second year of existence and it has been a pleasure to write over the last year. The blog entries are diverse, ranging form news items about the Dutch or their country, life in the Netherlands, my personal experiences here or expat related issues or topics. Articles I have written also feature regularly.
