Har har har! Seriously, I don't remember many stupendously big trees from when I lived in Amsterdam, but looking at a map, I see that Amersfoort is down near the Hoge Veluwe, which if I recall correctly had some nice big wood-carriers. A very pretty area.

Perhaps you'd like to visit San Francisco. The native Americans who lived there, the Ohlone, used acorns as their staple food. They soaked them in lime for a month or something then made nutty bread out of them. That'd be sweet revenge!
