Well, I am having a true identity crisis then. I was born south of Nijmegen, in a little town called Grave (don't even think about pronounciation, it will sound bad in english any which way! Very Happy

)
Then I lived in zimbabwe till my tenth year. I lived in Gelderland till I started Studying in Delft, then stayed in the Hague till now. So what does that make me? Confused

if some one calls the whole country Holland?

Well...... if you are suicidal you need counselling Laughing

Are you picking a fight, Nanny? As the song says: het is een kwestie van geduld, rustig wachten op de tijd dat heel Holland Limburgs lult....... (yeah, yeah, English forum, I will translate: it is just a matter of patience, patiently waiting for the time, that the whole of Holland speaks Limburgian). I'm a patient girl Razz

I would say a lost southener. Seriously, why live anywhere else but MORE south? But still north of Belgium of course.

Very unfortunate! Laughing

What did you do during the World Cup 2006? Cool

Not that much of a sports fan, I'd rather watch F1. OR do it myself, scuba dive or running.

I started to get an interest in cricket since the Ashes two years ago, my father-in-law now actually talks to me! Laughing

Quite weird what happened with the peaceful image of Holland with the Windmills, tulips, cheese and clogs... It seems to be replaced by the image of the Cannabis Sativa, Bicycle theft and Idiot Politics

@ Breadcrumb welll I guess snowy mountains is probably the only place in the world where you will not find me. done it once nearly broke all my bones and I still can't figure out why you have to invest 3000 euro of gear and weird colored clothes to stand at a bar.

@ Kleindoofy
I can tell you what I did during the world cup 2006... I was frustrating myself over the really bad show that the Dutch soccerteam put up... quite sad to see... I really hope the Orange team will do something better at Euro 2008
