You mean you don't wear wooden shoes in Holland? here's a tidbit: From www.theonion.com/onion3737/index.html "Amsterdam Tourist Can't Find 'Kind Bud' In Phrasebook Amsterdam-while on vacation in Amsterdam Monday, Atlanta resident Brad Haines, 22, struggled to find the Dutch translation for "kind bud" in his Berlitz pocket guide. "Man, I read the entire 'food and restaurant' chapter twice," he said. "It's not in there anywhere." Haines noted that he did at least learn that Amsterdam waiters will not bring the check to the table until specifically asked."
