Judge Me By My Size, Do You?

I don't think we fully realized just how small of a country we were moving to. I've incorrectly said before, maybe here on the blog, that it was approximately the size of two states. I was thinking Washington and Oregon, but it's far closer to the likes of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, if any.

So here's a little graphic I made of just how tiny The Netherlands is compared to some of the states I'm most familiar with, to scale for each state and with some cities for context. Our little town of Delft is nestled in between two of the majors cities, making it hard to mark, but we're there as the yellow star.

If you want to try it out for yourself, The True Size Of... is a very fun website to click and drag any country over top another to compare their sizes.
