I can't imagine why anyone whould like to know where I live but still here goes:
Vijfhuizen, the Netherlands. Don't try to pronounce it, you won't be able to. Anyway
it's situated just outside the city of Haarlem and quite near Amsterdam (I never go
there, I hate the place, too many tourists) It's a very small, originally a farmer
community but today people just sleep here and work elsewhere. I live in a so
called polder which is land reclaimed from a large inland lake and that in all probabilty
will be under many feet of water again before the end of the century because of the
rising sea-levels. It doesn't worry me though, it will happen after I'm gone.

Hans,

I am like you - not in North America. I liked to read your story. We seem to think along the same lines, because I don't like tourist traps either.

I am living in Jakarta Indonesia just now.
