Everything Everywhere Daily - The Kingdom of the Netherlands
When I mention the Kingdom of the Netherlands, you are probably thinking of the country in Europe that is really flat, where they ride bikes, have windmills, and grow tulips.
Well, that is only partially correct. Well, technically 98% correct.
There are other parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and they are actually located closer to Miami than they are to Amsterdam.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Eiffel Tower
In 1889, a new exhibit was constructed for the Paris World’s Fair. It completely dominated the Paris skyline.
Most people considered it an eyesore and an architectural abomination. The only redeeming thing about it in their mind was the fact that it was only temporary and was going to be torn down after the fair was over.
But it never was, and today it has become the iconic symbol for the city.
