I love the whole place, the people are very warm, great history in the city with beautiful houses and landmarks, I love the way that the Dutch have utilised every single meter of space they have so well, I'd get to walk or ride my bike everywhere and I don't have to learn a new language, for me at least I'd feel very at home. :p
Are you sure it has nothing to do with the coffee shops? :D

Didn't realize you spoke Dutch. Very uncommon for a non - Belgian/Dutchman.

Indeed it is, I never realised he spoke Dutch either, although he has these lovely Cruijff quotes in Dutch in his sig. Luca seems to have a weak spot for us Dutchies :D.

Place to live.. hmm.. Haven't been to nearly enough places around the world to actually make a good decision, but I'd have to say Turin for Juve, or purely based on the city itself: Barcelona.

That city just has it all. My favourite in Europe.

I can say a few words, but I was reffering to the fact that most Dutch speak very good English, at least from my experiences.

It always amazes me when people say most Dutch speak good English, but I guess other countries are just much worse. I always have a great laugh whenever any Dutchy speaks English, especially the ones up North, near Amsterdam. Their accents are funnier than the Simpsons and Family Guy combined.

I'd probably say Torino too, for obvious reasons.

Also, there are a lot of nice spots in that city and it's not overrun by tourists.

That's cheating :stuckup:

I love it when Hiddink says 'sloppy' it's hilarious lol, but I find it great that they speak a second language so well.
