Benefits of Life in the Netherlands

Just a few things I have come to love after living with my Aunt and cousin for two days in Naarden / Bussum: 

• 10am Coffee or tea with biscuits, cheese, etc 
• 4pm Coffee or tea with biscuits, cheese, etc 
• 5pm Pre-dinner wine with biscuits, cheese, etc 
• Post-dinner coffee or tea
• Evening nightcap with option for biscuits, cheese, etc
• Bicycles are a primary mode of travel, and bike lanes are incorporated into the transportation infrastructure everywhere
• The beds are long enough 
• A pervasive sense of historicity
