Fine neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII think people here are a lot less open and thoughtful than in larger cities, which is a shame. For example, the atmosphere at the swimming pool isn't always pleasant either, sometimes there are arguments and once an assault. Also, I find there's not much to do, you're better off going into Gouda. It is nicely green with the polders, that's why we came here.
