Some random notes regarding realizations in Dutch-land.
1) The Dutch can really cook. Don't get me wrong, the traditional Dutch food isn't so great...raw meat spread across rolls with mushroom croquettes. However, the restaurants in Eindhoven, Den Bosch, Amsterdam, and others have been exquisite. We've had better French food than in Paris, better fried shrimp than in Paris, and we had a 4 Euro pizza the other night that, dare I say, rivaled any pizza I've ever had. And for 4 Euros! Damn.
2) I've come across a hint at my namesake. In Dutch, the word zeemeerman means "mermaid". I'm just saying, it would be pretty terrific if I came from a merman ancestry.
