Hello welcome! Where in Holland do you come from?

Post by Jessica on Sept 30, 2005 15:34:00 GMT

isn't gouda a kind of cheese??? (i don't mean cheese as a "slang word" like rubbish, or so... umm, i mean this thing, wich you can eat and wich mostly smells...)

Ow Gouda is a nice place to live! I live in Drenthe :S, Hoogeveen. Not very spectacular....

Haha! Yes, it is! Gouda is most famous of its cheese and candles. I'm not much of a cheese-eater, and I only like cheese when it's cold or molten, otherwise I don't. I was in Drenthe this summer by the way, on holiday! I do horseriding and that goes a lot better if you live in Hoogeveen than in Gouda.

Heidi:
I know! When I was little, I had to give a demonstration with my physicsclass and the theme was the Swiss. So I drew a big giant Swatch-watch on a piece of cotton and wore that during the demonstration...
Emma: The holiday was in Hooghalen, is that near to your home?

I didn't know that! About the watches, but I don't really know much about Switzerland. I actually don't really know what holland is famous for...
Jessica: I know where Hooghalen lays, but it's not really close to me..

Yes, but you don't want to see them ;D But what's with this Karma-thing, I don't get it.

I actually don't really know what holland is famous for... Wooden shoes! Not that one would actually wear them nowadays, only the farmers...

Whaha that's true! And mills ( is that an english word? )...

Post by Jessica on Sept 30, 2005 18:26:51 GMT
Oh yeah! Forgot about them good ol' mills! In total, there's exactly 1 mill in Gouda. And it still works. Weird idea, that a country can be famous for something that's already outdated but was succesfull in the past.

Post by Emma W on Sept 30, 2005 18:30:54 GMT
haha indeed! Well we have also 1 mill in hoogeveen... I also think holland is a bit famous of the legal weed thing here....
