How do you picture Holland?
Tulips, windmills and wooden shoes! In my mind Holland is the most liberal and humane country in Europe if not in the world with legalized euthanasia and marijuana.

What is your favorite television program? And why?
My favorite TV program is 60 minutes, because it keeps me up-dated about what is happening in the world. I also like Family Guy, Robot Chicken and American Dad on Fox, because they are funny and never take themselves too seriously. Chinese TV sucks!
