You cannot pick:
- Windmills (we do have those a lot, yes)
- Cheese (we love our cheese and we do know how to make it!)
- Drugs (it's legal but it's not common to use them, like people seem to think  )
- Wooden shoes (almost no one wears them)
- Tulips (they're not even dutch, ffs).
Just curious  |
Painters and footballers, mainly.
- Rembrandt, Rubens, H. Bosch, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Mondrian... the list could be endless.
- I can say the same about footballers. Usually very good players, with splendid technical abilities ("the Brazilians of Europe"), even if they sometimes play in the wrong clubs. And despite the last World Cup's final.
- An "architectural terrorist" named Rem Koolhas. On the other hand, good architects such as MVRDV firm.
- Unfortunately, I don't know many writers and musicians.
