@BrixBruxAmsterdam was too hectic? I find it quite peaceful and relaxing. Nothing like drinking a beer (or something stronger) by a cafe or bar near a canal and watching the world go by.
Whilst I've never been to Den Haag, it strikes me as very official and clinical (it's the Netherlands' bureaucracy capital). It's the equivalent of living in Westminister, nice to visit, not so sure about living there!
As for the Dutch language, I know a few words to get me by, but I'm not convinced Dutch is a real language! Think about it, even the Dutch don't want to speak it and prefer to speak English! What does that say about the respect the Dutch have for their own lanaguage?! ;O)
P.S. I can't believe I forgot the best biscuit in the world! Stroopwaffels! I have a bag of them in my kitchen from the Albert Heijn from my last trip.
