True facts. My first visit to Holland was a eye opener. Compared to North America the Dutch people have a relaxed attitude towards many subjects considered taboo such as alcohol and light recreational drug use. Canada has switched to legalized cannabis with restrictions. I remember visiting my wife's cousins in Eindhoven. The tv was on in the background with a news channel. They mentioned something about Canada that caught my attention so I started watching then they switched to a five minute segment of soft porn then back to the stock market prices. WTF just happened...LOL. Obviously much more entertaining than five minutes of pharmaceutical commercials. Again relaxed views on nudity still considered taboo here. If travel restrictions aren't a hassle we would love to go back for a couple of months.
