To
watch the low lying State without a mountain, an Indonesian citizen
should take about 12 hours flying from Soekarno Hatta Airport, transit
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - or depending on the airline and the route
that must be taken. Airbus
aircraft takeoff at night, from the outside window that looks just
black, 12 hours later magically transformed into a dark golden light
along the horizon. Aircraft
speed decreases, when finally fuselage landing perfectly on the airport
runways Schippol, had split the morning, fresh air. However, the air temperature decreases beyond the arrival even when the visit occurred in August. One solution to adapt to the cold, around 14 degrees Celsius was wearing a thick jacket. In this colorful Tulip flowers have long dated changed to green pastures.
Air clear when a four-wheel vehicle left the service Schippol gliding over paved roads slippery. On the right edge of the road two grown leafy trees and fresh grass. Soon seem small houses, so tidy as it is commonly seen in the images as well as illustrations of fairy tales. Along the way up until the Indonesian Embassy in the mess there is no traffic jam situation, each motorist drove freely reach the goal. On the sides of the road seemed to settlements, crops, sheep and cattle grazing, beautiful yard overgrown flowerbeds. Inaudible noise or bustle of life deafening, leafy trees continue to grow in every corner of the city create shade.
This time I was not dreaming or watch pictures, but swept along with three-dimensional film is then sucked into it. Indonesian Embassy mess surrounding atmosphere so quiet, on both sides of the street trees are growing with an enlarged stem, while multicolored flowers bloom provides a natural atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere is not entirely foreign, Netherlands colonized Indonesia for 350 years, because the wealth of spices, August 17, 1945 when the Declaration of Independence, the Government of Indonesia took over the government and all assets in it. The Dutch government is over, leaving the archipelago, leaving anyway architecture, gardens, plantations and lifestyle.
Dutch population of about 16 million, 10% were Indonesian different reasons windmill settled on this, including educational reasons. Netherlands - Nederland is the Kingdom consisting of twelve provinces in North-West Europe and three islands in the Caribbean. In Indonesian Dutch title is defective loan from Portuguese vocabulary: Holanda, Olanda, Wolanda, Bolanda, last spoken Dutch. The northern kingdom bordering the North Sea, south by Belgium, the east by Germany. Geographically Kingdom of the Netherlands is a country berpermukaan low, approximately 20% of its territory, and 21% of the population is under sea level, 50% of land less than one meter above sea level. Nederland mean "low lying lands". Most of the land is below sea level is the result of hard work of man, stems from widespread peat extraction, poorly controlled for centuries, degrading surfaces a few meters tall. In the flood-prone area peat extraction followed by dredging. Since the end of the 16th century land reclamation began, extensive polder area preserved with elaborate drainage system involving several levees, channels and pumping stations. Most of the Netherlands is formed by the estuary of three important European rivers, which together with its tributaries form the delta Rhein-Maas-Schelde. Most of the country is very flat, with the exception in the foothills in the southeast away, and several rows of hills in the middle.
Driving across the province are megesankan experience, especially when crossing 32 Km Cover dike that separates Lake IJssel --Afsluitdijk with the Wadden Sea. The rider feels as if floating above the water surface in a vehicle that drove carefully. Feeling that arises rest is "anxious" Amazed funds, can be built levees along because of the thought that professional fund hard work convincing. A few kilometers ahead windmills lined with neat, active spinning to generate electricity. In public places is almost always seem profile Indonesian people, conversing in Indonesian anyway. 12 hour flight was not enough to divide the community. In any event at the Indonesian Embassy, sprung comrades school and college friends.
In any journey always ramps highway conditions, without worrying climbs. Amsterdam is the capital city appeared calm with cyclists activity in the heart. Ferries parked along the river, ready to take travelers all along the stem of the river with panoramic views on two edges. Rows of shops offering various kinds of goods with a neat and artistic arrangement. In extremely cold temperatures, especially in December, the wine into a beverage that serves to keep warm. Alcoholic beverages were neatly arranged on a store cupboard in colorful bottles with models and different sizes, sparkling attract enthusiasts. While various forms of cheese and chocolate enliven a row of shops and is always visited by buyers. As for shopping that can be visited are China Town, an open market offering various types of clothing, shoes, accessories, and souvenirs.
More impressive souvenir shops are in Volendam, the small town on the edge of a beautiful beach. Visitors can climb the small hill a short pass tiny stores are beautiful and neat. In one row of shops facing the beach tourists can purchase a cuckoo clock, pictorial ceramic plate windmills, tulips display board, a calendar with spectacular photographs and postcards, T-shirts, keychains, and whatnot. Means of payment is Euro. Beach atmosphere is very comfortable, on the benches looked grandparents sat staring away into the horizon, on the terrace café chairs full of visitors enjoying a glass of beer Heinaken. Café others offer potatoes and fried fish with seasoning sauce and lombol bottle, without the spices, the taste was not complete. Spices are a rare commodity, because it must be imported from Costa Rica, as well as with taro and all types umbu. Four seasons in low lying State does not make it possible for farmers to grow all kinds of bulbs and spices. Tulip flowers except as an icon of the State, the production plant that can grow corn.

Not far from the souvenir shop with a very friendly owner standing houses, rapidi lined the roadside. Home form is very small, but pretty and comfortable as a residence. In the housing terraces flowers grown with natural colors. Just across the road surface of the water about one meter higher above the ground, where the houses stand. Shortly afterwards looked windmill spins supported building stone, eager cyclist pedaling, take fresh air. Fresh green pastures the privilege of cattle and sheep grazing. The pictures had been a fairy tale book illustrations, now seem real and alive. While the population lives by the river with clear water, families enjoying a day off to travel the river riding a motorized boat. Everything looks beautiful and real.
One thing that makes pounding is when the drive back to the mess Embassy of Indonesia, the car should be driving in a tunnel, under the stem of the river were dammed. The atmosphere is dark, except for fluorescent lights, we sank back into an anxious sensation sekaliguskan awesome. The next thing that is difficult to forget is the physical building around the airport Shcippol, above the highway overpass that stretches can be a passing aircraft towards the hangar or departure.
