AboutSteven Kleid Expertise If you are planning a trip to The Netherlands and would like some information on places (like the official witches` scales) that most tourists never hear about, I would be happy to provide a few suggestions from my 3+ years in that beautiful little country. Here`s one right off the bat: Don`t limit yourself to Amsterdam!
Experience I was stationed there for 3 1/2 years, as the principal Public Affairs officer for the U.S. Air Force. In 1998 I received a citation from the United States Ambassador to The Netherlands for "...significant contributions to the fostering of friendship between the peoples of The Netherlands and the United States."

Question I know you can cash traveler's checks at the airport in Amsterdam, but is there any other place? I'm arriving by train from Paris. Can they be cashed at the Train station?
The checks are in Euros, and I purchased them here before I learned that Europe doesn't really like traveler's checks. Is there a certain bank that will cash them? I hate carrying all that cash around, but look like there isn't much choice. What can you tell me?
