From wikipedia:
Huis Ten Bosch is a theme park in Nagasaki Prefecture that recreates Holland by displaying real size copies of old Dutch buildings. The name Huis Ten Bosch literally translates into English as "House in the Forest". It is named after Huis ten Bosch Palace, one of the four official residences of the Dutch Royal Family, located in The Hague in the Netherlands.
The park features many Dutch-style buildings such as hotels, villas, theatres, museums, shops and restaurants, along with canals, windmills, amusement rides and a park planted in seasonal flowers.
Huis Ten Bosch, which opened in March 1992, is located on Hario Island in the southern part of Sasebo, facing Omura Bay. Its location reflects historical relations between the Netherlands and Japan, which began in 1609 when a trading post was opened by the Dutch in Hirado, not far from Sasebo.
The park is open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. (9.00 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. from December to February). A day "passport" ticket, covering entry and a number of attractions within the park costs 5,600 yen for adults and 4,400 yen for children. The park can be reached by JR train or bus from Nagasaki. It can also be reached by boat from Nagasaki Airport or from Sasebo.

I spent the whole day here in May 4, 2008 with Joy and Benjie. Pictures of the day will be posted in the Photo Album section.

Jack is right...either yung driver or recording being played on the sound system sa bus...
actually, there were a lot of Japanese people milling around, so inevitably you will hear conversation like that..

yeah, the flowers are gorgeous! ang ganda-ganda talaga...when we took pictures we were joking among ourselves that we could pass for saying we had already been in Holland due to the backgrounds of fields of flowers...
