I live in a polder
-
Do most of you even know what a polder[^] is? :D Well, as a Dutchie, I live in one! It's quite far from the cities, the nearest big city is Rotterdam at a little over 50 km. My current commute to Utrecht is about 100 km (a good hour drive), but luckily I can work from home one or two days a week (out of four). Anyway, I wouldn't want to move because it's just too quiet and beautiful over here! These pictures were taken just outside my house (I live on the edge of the village) where I like to go for walks. It's all farmlands. Fall 2016:

Yep, same here :D I love it 90% of the time. But that 10% where you want to go out and do something, it sucks.

Nice wide view. Is that grass? Why the grass not so high? Is there anyone who cut the grass regularly?

Yep, probably the farmers who don't want their land to get overgrown. But also the local governments or water authority. Us Dutchies have to keep the ditches clean and clear :) If ditches get filled with reeds and leaves the water won't get away and they'll overflow and we'll sink to the bottom of the ocean. In fact, if you have a ditch on your property it's your responsibility to keep it clean or you'll be fined (but most people don't have ditches in their garden). Living below sea level and all.

Not that difficult if you are worth it. I know people who already got it, not only Holland, but Germany as well (I am in Germany too)
