It's interesting, I've been doing some research on Amsterdam and investigating all aspects of living there. I spent some time recently putting up my recent photos (some, not all) on Flickr and discovered an explanation of why the Dutch don't use window curtains.
This is something I noticed while in Amsterdam that puzzled me a bit. Apparently it has something to do with the old Protestant ethic and the idea of not having anything to hide.
I found a reference to this on a Dutch blog which seems to confirm my understanding.
