We went to many countries around the world. We were just tourists sightseeing a number of countries for more than 2 months. I was absent from school for I was only ten years old back then. We chose July to September b'coz it was Summer time overseas. I remember we spent probably only 2 days in Amsterdam...very short stay. Did not go to many places...was right in the city..on the river cruise......very hectic holiday from one country to the other. You should come to West or Semenanjung...many tourist sports.

    2 more years and selling everything in Canada and moving to Malaysia. I work all over the world and love Asia and warm weather. Canada used to be a nice country but winter is the biggest drag on a person’s mentality. Cannot wait for the restrictions to be lifted and start the exploratory phase of the rest of my time on this big round ball,called earth.

    This happens because the Dutch is really practical and reasonable people, just like Sarawakians. No wonder you and your Sarawakian wife blend in good chemistry.
