The Dutch were the friendliest people towards Americans I ever encountered-- they still remembered our help in WWII and how we helped them rebuild Rotterdam afterwards.

I told one Dutch bartender that my wife and I were just in Germany, but that the beer was better in Holland-- he just beamed at that and we got a whole evening of free beer in return :-)

The Netherlands were probably my favorite county out of the countries we visited last year.

I loved Amsterdam (and no, I did not partake in the ‘Coffee Shops’)

Belgian people were extremely friendly to us and pro American, readily speaking English to us. I understand they are less pro-USA near the German Border, but near France, they just love Americans.
