We went looking at apartments today in the historical center of the Hague and found some oddities - coming from DC, you could not fathom the extreme location of these places. So in today's security climate, which seems less safe?
Option A: The house right on top of the entrance of the Dutch Pentagon, with a steady stream of people in military uniforms filing past your front door and through the guard booth (we'd have to make friends with the guards; otherwise, it would be awkward).
Option B: The apartment right next to and overlooking the guard booth and garage entrance for the American Embassy (as in, wake up in the morning, roll over, look out the window, wave at the rifle toting guard two stories below).
I continue to maintain we would have been safer in Bogota. But at least our chances of being burglarized would be close to nil...
