Your new Location thing got me thinking. When I read it I though "Denmark!" I quickly realized that was oh so wrong when I remembered you talking about Holland and stuff. So I went to the ol' globe, found der Nordsee, and saw "Netherlands". How many names do you have for your country?! Holland, which I learned is not official, according to the encyclopedia, Dutchland, which probably isn't either, and the correct one, Netherlands. Those are all auf Englisch (the tiny bit if German I remember
) so what are they in Dutch? I also learned you guys are cheese mongers, even more so than people from Wisconsin, and that a Polder is a low lying piece of land that was uncovered when they started pumping water out of the Ijsselmeer. I guess they had to dam the thing up cause the rough waters kept flooding it or something, right? Oh, and Rotterdam has the busiest seaport in the world. Big accomplishment for a little country,huh?
So do you speak Deutsch too, since you're so close to Germany? That shows either the ignorance or self-sufficiency of us Americans. Seeing as we can't even build our own cars in our own country, probably just the first.
I hope I didn't make any premature assumptions in that little paragraph. Usually I'm pretty good at this geography stuff, but those three little countrys, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark have always confused me.
