Aug 31st, 2011 at 1:30PM:
US Comedian Mark Malkoff is on a mission. After hearing a proposed Dutch law that would make it illegal for tourists to visit coffee shops in Holland, he embarked on a creative video mission: he would travel to the country and make a video series about 101 Other Things to Do In Holland. #65?

Before them laid a vast wilderness, thick with old-growth forests and teeming with wildlife ...Across Northern Europe: A second thought on museums in Amsterdam
Aug 24th, 2007 at 11:20AM: You should never agree with yourself too often, at least that's what I'm thinking today, so I'd like to mention a few museums that are worth all of our time.
