Just realised using VoipDiscount I can't ring an Amsterdam number. Checked
on the VoipDiscount rates page and Holland is not listed. I have Skype and
checked on their rates page as well - again not listed!

Is something wrong with Holland?

Just looked. It is listed, only it's disguising itself as "Netherlands".

And like Belgium Holland is a very beautiful country and the fact that
they are both flat is a blessing to some of us .

Yes but there is another difference

In Holland most people speak Dutch as a frst language, but many will go out
of their way to make you feel welcome in bars etc. by talking to you in
English.

In Wales most people speak English as a first language, but many will go out
of their way to make you feel unwelcome in bars etc. by switching to talking
in [bad] Welsh as soon as they sus' you.
