Welcome to the New CaliNetherlands, :)

It's 2011 and CaliNetherlands is being brought back to life. The website was initially created at the beginning of 2007, as part of CaliWorldFriends, in the attempt to create a separate website for each country of the world. Indeed, in 2007 this site was created and a short introduction was written. Now, we've added some relevant research information about The Netherlands from the CIA World Factbook, including geography, people, and a brief historical background.
We've also made changes to the template and added more graphics, and news feeds to help inform our visitors further on this beautiful, intriguing country.

What features would you like to see included on this website? Add your comments below and we'll do our best to enhance the site in the near future.

Thank you for visiting Cali Netherlands,
