Ehum, if you compare Amsterdam to Belgium, then yes maybe you're right. But Amsterdam isn't really the Netherlands... It's like saying New York is the US. It is, but not really.

Hey Mr Silver, advice your kids to come to Leuven (near Brussels) they are going to love it. It's a small university city that is really cool to hang out, and not dangerous at all. It's really focused to the younger crowds, so they'll fit right in. They just have to be careful with their bikes. Antwerp will be their thing too, I'm sure.



@ Tulip: boy it's time you come back to Belgium for a week or so. I'll show you around a bit. You won't call it tame any longer.
