Destination: NETHERLANDS
Introduction ``IN what other country can one find such absolute freedom…” 17th-century French philosopher René Descartes View from the West Church tower, across the rooftops and canals of Amsterdam © AA Photo Library	Introduction The Netherlands is a country where freedom has come with responsibility and hard work. It is a country where the word “land” means something special - a valuable resource won from the sea. For, in literal terms, when you walk on dry land in The Netherlands, your head is barely above sea level in some places, and well below it in others. Amsterdam itself is 10 feet below sea level.
