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.

How to deal with Dutch people (19)


Don't bother renting a car. Not only will you be able to steal more bikes then you can use but car traffic in Holland is not something to enjoy. Where the rest of the world uses kilometres to express the lengths of traffic jams, in Holland these are measured in weeks. To be honest, the most steadfast ones are worth a visit. The sight of starving people in an expensive Mercedes can greatly improve your mood if your somewhat philosophical. Bring some pieces of bread to throw through the open windows. The fights over them are often very spectacular.

Le Tour de France


The most popular event of the summer, in this region anyway. "Le Tour" came through on Sunday 4th of July, and to combine duty with pleasure: the EHBO was there too! And by-the-way, the finish in Paris was today and the winner is a Spanish guy. http://www.letour.fr/
De Tour de France deed als eerste etappe de Zuidwesthoek aan, en de EHBO was natuurlijk van de partij! Zit je gelijk eerste rang... Oja, de uiteindelijke winnaar -niet onbelangrijk- is Contador.
