What is your image of Holland?

Holland used to have this image of a free country. It used to be a symbol of freedom. Now I’m surprised when I am walking in the streets there I have to look over my shoulders to see if nothing is wrong. I think we are losing our community values. If we could retrieve the same Holland I knew, that would be nice.

What national politician do you want to interview, and why?

The minister of education. I would like to know what his priority is.

If you would be able to export a characteristic of your country, what would it be?

Our hospitality and generosity.

If you would be able to ban a characteristic of your people, what would it be?

Their prejudice.

The world on sex

April 9, 2008

Like some girls in Brazil, who dance the Funky Carioca: a very sexual Brazilian dance, which usually ends with sex as well. But in Nicaragua we meet Evangelist Eddy who does everything within his power to keep sinful thoughts from the minds of his fellow Nicaraguans.

In New York, Rashida Jolley supports Eddy’s ideas. She is a former Miss New York, who plays the harp, and talks to young people about how abstinence –no sex before marriage – is not something to be ashamed of. And in China, with its closed sexual morals, we see how Dr. Feng breaks many taboos about sex and relationships in his radio show. He might even start a sexual revolution in China.
