HOLLAND
Today I am going to tell you about Holland. I hope that for you will be interesting to hear about this country.
Holland is in the west Europe between Denmark and Belgium, by the North Sea. The capital of this county is Amsterdam, other important town is Hag, where are parliament and kings castle.
Holland is an international country, because there are living people from all over the world. There you can meet people from Africa, Russia, Japan, Turkey and lot of else.
When friend meet each other there, they usually give hand and kiss three times to the cheeks, this is the way how they are saying hello. The people there are very kind and friendly.
Very popular thing in this country is bicycle. As one friend of mine told me everyone without exception has bicycles, maybe not everyone uses it, but everyone has. The streets in Holland are very narrow, so bicycles are more comfortable. Just imagine a man with a suit or a woman with nice dress riding on a bike. For us it seems strange and funny but for them it’s normal. Some people ride on a bike about 40 km every day.
The other thing which makes Holland famous is flowers. There you can see the biggest parterres in the world. The most popular flower is tulip and every day there is sold 10mln of this flower. Also there are a lot of canals and beautiful bridges.
Holland is the most liberal country in the world. It was the first country which legalized weak drugs. There are a lot of special shops called “coffee shop” where you can buy drugs, but firs of all you must be older than 18 years. And normal cigarettes you can buy if you are older than 16 years. Also in this country is legal prostitution, there a lot of “red line streets” in Amsterdam and other big cities.
