New Amsterdam

Monday night - PJ-time!

When I came home I read Craig's blog and got interested in some Dutch history involving New York. We all know that it was once Dutch but how did we loose it? Many people believe the Dutch sold it but that's not true... The English just walked in and took over. Without a single shot ever fired. Holland should've invaded the bloody UK for that! But then again, the Dutch deserved it for being incredibly apathetic. They still are. And in a way, the English are conquering Amsterdam again with all their disgraceful hen parties and stag nights.
Anyway, here's an interesting link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Netherlands.
