Dutchman VictorVan has created a map of Dutch stereotypes. For the benefit of locals and foreigners alike, he has summed up his knowledge of his homeland and stuck it on a map. The author makes no claim to unbiased accuracy stating: "Obviously this is no hard science (or whatever form of science, for that matter), but, you know, it's a map. Maps are cool."
