The Hague: Expats TV
I found the nicest site last night. It’s called The Hague Expats TV. If you click on the tab labeled “Specials” near the top of the frame, it will take you to a collection of videos that I particularly liked. There is one called “Manners in the Netherlands” featuring Reinildis van Ditzhuyzen, the author of “Dutch [...]
In The Hague: “The Fred” Shopping Street
