Did you know that the roses you bought last week were auctioned in Netherlands? Even if you bought them half-way across the globe? It’s true: much as we are huge in dairy, we are huge in flowers as well. We not only grow them here, we are the largest fresh flower marketplace in the world.

If there is something Nederlanders do, it’s building bridges. No wonder with a country that’s more water than land. And cities that have more canals than Venice! (Not sure if that is actually true, but it sounds dramatic.) And if you think having the longest bicycle-bridge in the world is outlandish, wait ’till you’ve seen one of the many bridges in the busiest highways.
