The Netherlands There are 15 million people. It consists of two provinces:
South Holland and North Holland. The term “ Holland” comes from the words“Holt-land” and it means Wooden-
land .
The official language is Dutch, and the currency is the euro.
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands (economically speaking), and it takes part of Randstad (it’s the core of the conurbation in Europe). In Amsterdam there are 750000 people.
The historical center of the city was built in the seventeenth century. At that time there were many semicircular canals.
Amsterdam is known as Venice of the North because it has a lot of water.

The city of flowers.The Dutch love nature, and they demonstrate it. There are cheerful coloured flowers growing everywhere in Holland .
You can see tulips in all the streets of the city, and sceneries full of color all over the country.
Gastronomy. In Holland, cheese is
very famous. For

Edammer. Also, there
are very famous
Maatjes (famous Dutch
fish) and croquettes.
The Dutch cooking is
very simple: they eat a
lot of potatoes and
vegetables;there are
also many types of
fish.
In Holland they eat and they produce a lot of chocolate . In Amsterdam there are a lot of factories of cocoa. Dutch people love "vla" ( creamy pudding) and "poffertjes"(omelettes with sugar).
Beverages.For a long time the
Dutch drank beer, but lately they have started to drink much wine.
Mineral water is not as popular as in other countries, but milk is. For this reason the Dutch are the tallest people in the world.
Laws.Between all the laws of Holland the most
striking one is the legality of drugs and prostitution. It is possible to buy marijuana, hallucinogenic fungi and hashish.
Some controversial issues.
Prostitutes work in
booths. They are
displayed in cabins
like mannequins and
they are chosen by
customers. Both for
this and for using
drugs there are
appropriate places in
the Netherlands.
