Forgive me, I don't want to be the pain in the ass here, but "Holland" is an incorrect name for my country. In modern times "Holland" is nothing else than a brand name, kept alive for tourists who want to believe the fairy tale of wooden shoes, windmills, tulips, stroopwafels, Heineken and more...... Please watch this video, as the difference between Holland and The Netherlands will be explained: If the video does not play in this post, please click on this link |
