Netherlands?
what are some current problems Netherlands is facing today?
Like most industrialized countries, there is a problem of the aging population and its impact on the economy (the costs of the retirement system, which is very generous in the country). Second, the number of migrant workers from Turkey especially (and Muslims from all countries) is creating political friction within the country (as throughout most of Europe). This has been an ongoing problem as European extremists are gaining political ground in many countries, including the Netherlands. I'll let someone else figure out the third issue!
Is the netherlands a coolplace to travel alone?
I will be traveling to Netherlands later this year. And I will spend a portion of it by myself in Amsterdam and Utrecht and meeting up with people sporadically. Is the Netherlands a cool place to be by yourself. I can't imagine it being anymore dangerous than the US. But will it be easy to just kind of hang out and how are people about hanging out with tourist?
I do not think you will run into trouble. Especially in city centers there are all kinds of people that welcome new faces (of course, you have idiots everywhere, so you are bound to run into a few of those as well) Hanging out with a tourist - all depends on the tourist, to be honest. If you are alone, best way to travel is by public transport, such as the train. Easy to use, easy to get from A to B. On the train you might meet niece people, although people are somewhat to themselves while traveling on the train.
What is the temparature in theNetherlands in December?
I'm visiting the Netherlands in December and am clueless about the weather. How many degrees celcius so that I can prepare clothing? Thank you.
Most of the times it is not terrible cold, but is dark and the cold is humid. (they call these days the 'dark days before Christmas' because there is usually not much sun. Unlike a previous answer, the western part is less cold that the eastern part due to the relatively warm North Sea. In general the winter days in the Netherlands (Dec-Mar) are or dark, quite cold and humid OR clear skies, and ice-cold (but that is mostly after Christmas). Reason is the direction of the wind: If the wind blows from the west, the wind brings moderate cold, but humid air from the North Sea, but if the sind blows from the east, the frigid, dry wind from Russia is influencing the weather. But don't let dark, cold days withold you from visting the Netherlands: these days are very 'cozy' in restaurants sitting by the fireplace with a nice glass of wine or some spirit .
