(I've been to Amsterdam a couple of times and DH works for a Dutch oil company).
I love going to Amstgerdam Knitette, almost as much as I love leaving it again LOL. It is a beautifull and special city, but I'm always glad to return to the peace and quiet of my part of the country (about 100 km east of Amsterdam).
Your husband is a wise man for picking a Dutch company to work for , or may be I'm just biased ;-)
