		I thought Madurodam was the small village and some of the villagers made excellent miniatures.
		Unfortunately I think a lot of folks wouldn't consider visitng Madurodam because they think it is some sort of "tourist trap" and a bunch of people haven't "instructed" them that it is a "must do." So I'm glad you trusted your inner instincts and went inside.
		Madurodam was included on our Grayline day tour and I was not expecting much.

		It's a grand scope for a group that operates on a small scale, but with a June 14 meeting at Madurodam in The Hague, The Netherlands, a world-wide Mini Land Association was born.
		Representatives from 12 mini-land attractions agreed to the merits of having their own trade association and have begun the administrative procedures of formally creating the organization, with bylaws, officers and membership criteria.
		The Dutch park in turn grew interested in the miniature animatronics Mini Israel plans to use (Mini Israel is still under construction between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the project stalled by the current unrest in the region).
