Brief, but good

This is an interesting book for visitors to the Netherlands, but it is perhaps even more interesting for Dutch people with an interest in the specific features of their culture. I would certainly recommend it to Dutch people who go abroad for a longer time, like myself. It gives you a better understanding in what is specificly Dutch in your habbits and attitudes. Further, it can be amusing too. The book is very small. This has the advantage that it does not take much time to read it, what makes it also an interesting book for people who are only planning to visit Holland for a short period. However, for the same reason you also may find it to expensive. This latter reasoning may be a typical Dutch one though. Anyway, I enjoyed reading the book very much.
