In our last installment we featured Singapore, a beautiful country in Asia. Today we show you the Netherlands, a country under sea level whose history can be seen throughout the land with its "molens" (windmills) and "kasteelen" (castles). Unlike Singapore, Holland can be seen as one of the most liberal countries in the world whose freedoms are that greater of the United States. For those who have traveled around the world, this isn't shocking news to you. Below are just a few of the moments that seized our interest while traveling through the country. We plan to add much more over time, but hope this is enough to get you a taste of this spectacular land.

Hi guys, Those pictures are beautiful. I've never been to the Netherlands but have had several sellers from there over the years.

I also want to add that the pics of Dubai in your sidebar are just incredible!!! How does one go about selling property in Dubai??

Well we went there several times and got to know several local businessmen and dubai politicians who gave us the opportunity of a lifetime. I won't say it's easy but if you apply yourself anything is possible i suppose. It does help if you personally contribute to their economy as well. We would love to help you sell real estate in Dubai for clients in the future. Let us know and perhaps we can start a referral program. 

note to self: finish the header for our own blog

Hi guys, looks like the castle on the last photos is yours :) Being from Europe I have zoomed by the Netherlands a couple of times. I have been in Jordan in the middle east but not Dubai. That would be awesome! All the best to you ~Rita
