Welcome visitor!

Thank you for visiting my weblog!
Why is this text in English while I am Dutch? Well, the majority of the family and friends are non-Dutch speakers, and as I focus on international, the used language here will be English. Occassionally the text will be in Dutch, French, German or what ever language may come across, depending the subject.
Feel free to post a message and share your thoughts with me!

Daydream

Whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.

I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.

Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.

In this peaceful place
a pristine river flows.
Where the unicorns run,
a breeze always blows.

A breeze always blows
and sings of a song;
our love in a place
where you're never gone.

Where you're never gone
is as it would seem,
from dusk until dawn,
whenever I day dream.

And whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.

How to deal with Dutch people (6)


A Hollander is always right and he knows it. With this in mind it is very easy to cope with most Hollanders. If you ever get in an argument with a Hollander, tell him he was absolutely right and that you now realize how wrong you were. Now he will go crazy: Since you're a foreigner, you can never be right. You agree with him, therefore he couldn't be right. Impossible. He's a Hollander. But…then…he…Now is the time to take a step back and observe how the Hollander will try to strangle himself with a tulip.

Don't make holes in the dikes. Such behaviour is commonly disapproved and in extreme cases it can get you stoned by wooden shoes. But feel free to put your finger in the dike if you feel the urge. It will at least get you a few laughs from the natives.

The killer-dress is back!


Today I was happily surprised by receiving a special delivery package from Canada, containing a.o. a brand new silk black dress, exact the one I lost while moving my clothes from one place to the other. Thank you Donovan, for making it possible!

Don't buy wooden shoes. They will look completely ridiculous. Which is the reason they will try to sell them to you. A Hollander himself would not want to be found dead wearing them.(Preferably a Hollander doesn't want to be found dead at all).

How to deal with Dutch people (3)


Don't ever try to eat 'drop'. (Dutch Licorice) Drop is a sort of candy that can only be eaten by Hollanders. It can be recognized by the colour: black. The taste is a blend between earwax and paint (black). Hollanders absolutely adore the stuff and eat many kilo's of it. There is a nationwide conspiracy to look at the faces of foreigners that were made to believe the stuff is actually edible.

Dentist from hell?


Time for a visit to the dentist, but which one to choose? There’s a lot of variety, also in prices and waitinglists.
http://www.ratemds.com/social/?q=node/10843
Het is tijd voor de tandarts, maar welke zal ik nemen? Veel variëteit, zowel in prijzen als in wachtlijsten! Bij sommigen meer dan 3 maanden wachttijd! Nou, tegen die tijd zit er geen tand meer in mijn mond….

How to deal with Dutch people (2)


As a foreigner, don't ever try to speak Dutch. Not only will you get an enormous headache but the Hollanders will not understand what you mean. Foreigners are supposed to speak English or Gibberish. In the latter case they will be an easy target for pickpockets since they will not be able to talk to the police.

Your name

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

Mop du Jour


Op een ochtend kwam een man zijn huis uit en trof voor de deur zijn auto aan met gehavende achterkant. Tot zijn opluchting zag hij een briefje onder de ruitenwisser. Daarop las hij: “Terwijl ik dit schrijf staan er vijftig mensen naar me te kijken. Ze denken dat ik mijn naam, adres, kenteken en polisnummer opgeef. Dat is niet zo.”

How to deal with Dutch people (1)


Many foreigners call everything Dutch…well…'Dutch'. Don't! The word Dutch reminds Dutch people of the word Duits which is used for Germans and other things he dislikes. A Dutch person is a "Hollander" or a "Nederlander".

Cinema


Met Heidy naar de bios in Antwerpen http://metropolisanvers.cinenews.be/ . Eerst moeite om de auto kwijt te raken, megadruk! Het zag er geel van de Nederlanders, zou er ergens een nest hebben gezeten?? Uiteindelijk toch een parkeerplaatsje gevonden, en achteraf vraag je je af waar al die mensen zaten want zo vol was de zaal niet. Blijkt er een (nieuwe) disco om de hoek te zitten http://www.noxxantwerp.be/ .
We zagen de film "The Changeling", http://www.changelingmovie.net/

Lovepoem

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday to
the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.
