Many tourists miss out on visiting The Hague, as they all flock to Amsterdam. Pity, as The Hague has a lot to offer -- great museums and great restaurants in an ever-so-elegant city where the Dutch government resides (although Amsterdam is the official ca

After seeing a photo of Rotterdam’s cubic houses (Kijk-Kubus) in the new travel guide called Here’s Holland, I decided to visit. Wow! Only the Dutch could come up with something that zany! And people actually live in these houses! One of the m
