The Netherlands

(C) Lord Caligula 1998

I guess that the Netherlands is one of my favorite countries. Not that I've been there (but I'll probably visit it soon, so please return and read how I liked it, but it always appealed to my imagination. When I was younger it was the city of Amsterdam that interested me (do not ask me why, I guess the name is a bit 'magical' to me, I like it), but when I started reading about the Netherlands I started to like the country more and more.

This year I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that the Netherlands was the first country in the world that legalized Euthanasia and made it possible for homosexuals to marry.

It may sound silly (because I do not understand the dutch language) but I'm even member of an internet club in the Netherlands, 'Caligula's Mutilated Muse'. The administrator of this club is a good friend of mine and he does not mind that I post in english (but it's a disadvantage, I cannot understand other postings). Some nice people on this club to chat with online are _marcel_ and Raksha chatted with both of them several times and I think they are nice people. Another two nice persons in the club are Iphimeda and Phenomania, but their sites are not completely readible to me, since they are completely or partly in dutch.

I've been in the Netherlands for the first time in August 2001
