You think you’d like to go check out the Netherlands, do you? Your friends have take vacations there and have come back to tell you how awesome it is. Well, we’ve got news for you: They’re lying to you. There’s absolutely no good reason that you or anyone else should ever travel to the Netherlands for anything, not even for business, but most especially for a vacation.Check out these 10 reasons that you should absolutely never travel to the Netherlands!
1. Amsterdam, More Like Amster-snooze. All right, you must have heard an awful lot about Amsterdam. You’ve probably seen some pictures of it, too. Well, Amsterdam is not all
that it’s cracked up to be! Sure it’s full of plenty of interesting places to drink and smoke (we’ll get to that), and it’s home to some amazing restaurants. But, do you know what else it’s full of? Really old buildings. And, if there’s one thing that’s boring, it’s a really old building. Take that Amster-snooze!
2. Culture.
The absolutely last thing that you ever want to get across when you’re on a vacation is a new,
vibrant culture! The unfamiliar can be frightening, and it’s much better if you’re surrounded by the people, language, art, music,
and environments that you’re already accustomed to. There’s simply too much in the way of new and interesting culture in the
Netherlands to contend with.
3. Bunch of Pot-Smoking Hippies
This is probably the reason that you’ve heard so much about Amsterdam. As we understand it,
it’s incredibly easy to get your hands on all the marijuana you’d ever want to smoke. In fact,
they have bars that are specifically designed for the purpose of smoking it. Amsterdam is full of pot smoking
hippies that like to laugh, eat food and have a good time. That is the absolute worst!
4. Too Much Fun
With all of the stuff going on in urban centers like Amsterdam, as well as in the many old- building-laden small towns that dot the
landscape, the people of the Netherlands have a lot of fun. If you’re the kind of person that just
can’t stand to be around people who seem like they’re having a better time than you are, this
can make travelling around the Netherlands that absolute worst. Best to avoid the country altogether, then!
5. They Eat Outdoors
As a traveler makes their way from town to town in the Netherlands, they’re going to notice something. There are a lot of restaurants that offer al fresco dining to their patrons. In fact, the natives of the Netherlands seem to prefer this method of dining. Restaurants should always be indoors! Who wants to enjoy sunshine and fresh air as they’re sampling international cuisine?
6. Who Wants to Ride a Bike?
If there’s a favorite pastime in the Netherlands, it’s riding bikes. You see, they have beautiful countryside with not-well travelled roads lining it, as well as dirt paths and the like, where people can hop on the back of a bike to get around. Being on vacation is about relaxing! It’s not
about getting exercise and pedaling up and down hills from windmill to windmill
7. They Call Soccer “Football”
The Netherlands happens to be one of those countries in the world where soccer is the
preferred sport. In fact, they don’t even call it soccer; they call it football and as you know that
football is: It’s a sport where grown men in form- fitting pants run into one another at full speed in order to gain possession of an inflated piece of pigskin. It’s not a sport wherein people kick a
checkered ball with their feet and a tie can be considered a victory. Gross!
8. Too Many Colors
You would'nt believe that it happens to be lined with amazing plants and flowers. When in season, the Netherlands happens to be one of the most colorful places in the entire world!
9. The Women Are Too Beautiful!
If you’re a single man on the prowl, then you absolutely 100% do not ever want to set foot in
the Netherlands. Why? Well, it happens to home to some of the most beautiful women in the
entire world. You might say that this is a good thing. But, put some thought into it man! A trip
to the Netherlands is going to completely spoil you. How will you ever find someone that reaches that standard when you get back home? Probably won't.
10. Wildlife.
As if the plants and flowers weren’t enough! The Netherlands also happens to be incredibly rich in animals. You see, they haven’t completely urbanized the environment, so there are large
swaths of the country that still play hosts to natural habitats. It’s possible that you can travel to the beach and see deer grazing in the meadows nearby.
