too bad that the Dutch Government and Industrie missed the oppotunity to show New Yorkers what the Netherlands anno 2009 really is. Instead they came with kaas, klompen en klederdracht to promote their existance. No High tech examples of Holland as one of the forerunners in the world.
In the Efteling-look-alike New Amsterdam Village was the only information about the Dutch history on Manna-hata free provided by me: copies of a map from New Amsterdam in 1660, projected in the '09 Manhattan. Also no information about the huge Dutch fleet that sails around Battery Park shore line. Except, again, thanks a mini poster with all the participating ships that I specially created for this event.
