Yes, Maciamo, you are right, most of the Dutch people are against uniting Flandres an the Netherlands.
It would give lots of trouble for both sides. We do speak the same language but all the other differences are quite big.
But we are the BENELUX inside of Europe, there is much we can do...
Hi from Holland,
Yesterday evening the Dutch national football team won with 3 - 0 from Italy.
This was a big surprise for all of us! (Football fans I mean)
But even in Europe there are differences in manners. When I came back from Switzerland to Holland, I couldn't help noticing how loutish the Dutch can be. That counts for the shops as well as on the roads.
It is so easy to say thank you, it is free of charge as well. But I am afraid that I'll...
Well Dutch I was and am a lot older than you, but I watched them too. Together with my children.
Also the music was really good.
I didn't know that they came from Belgium Maciamo, always thought that they came from Germany. See, one is never too old to learn!
I see the Germans of today as "one of us".
Together with Germany we are living in the European Union.
There are also neo-nazis in the Netherlands, but also in the U.S. and in several Latin-America countries. I have Chilean friends and the have told me that there more neo-nazis in their country...
As your neighbour country I see that our Christmas menu looks more Walloon than Flemish.
Soup usually lobster bisque
Turkey or game (main dish)
Cheese
Bûche de Noël or ice cream.
I hope that other Europeans from different countries will tell us something about their Christmas menu. It is...
Maciamo,
My doctor is a woman, but now and then the Muslim husbands go inside the doctors room together with their wifes.
My doctor finds this very annoying, because those men are very dominating towards her.
In Rotterdam the Muslim community has asked for a Muslim hospital where men and...
My French is not fluent, it is reasonably good for a Dutch person.
I went to French conversation lessons in Lausanne, Switzerland.
My teacher was a French lady! But also in Lausanne and Genève people speak very nice French.
I love the French language and read many French books in Switzerland...
The Eiffel Tower looks impressive when you fly over Paris.
The lift in the Tower is also quite special.
The food in the restaurant is good, sitting and eating there looking over Paris is really something.
The view from the Eiffel Tower over Paris is magnificent
And I love Paris.
I worked and lived almost 9 years in Switzerland, in Lausanne.
And yes alas, Switzerland is sometimes racistic. It was in 1975 that I saw on every bus in Lausanne; "La Suisse pour les Suisses".
I didn't find the Swiss in general racists, most certainly not in the French and Italian part of the...
Mycernius,
Why should the Greeks start so many fires at almost the same moment and so well organized? As Maciamo pointed out; who wants to buy such a ground completely burnt out. Which Greek would like to buy the ground where so many Greeks died?
Greece is the cradle of Europe, there is so...
I am almost shy to answer and I fully agree with you. I was silently thinking the same. One can not say such things aloud overhere, I would be called a rightist,which I am not. I'm a Socialist.
I am a little shy, because nobody else seems to answer you, than this old lady. Yet to me you seem...
