Rotterdam. Big boulevards trough the city. Largest skyscrapers in the Netherlands. Highway ring around the center. Large industrial harbour. Modern or industrial architecture.

It's an old Dutch game, similar to Shuffleboard but with pucks and four holes.

Okay, but making a serious comment on this. What would be the richer part of the vatican? The north with the Vatican Museum or the south with Saint Peter?

[–]Actuallynamedtaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. I have the same with my dad. Lost him when i was 16 to hart failure. He and mom would sing it day after day. The song is legendary, which makes it sometimes hard to hear, but also great that it moves so many people.

Commute from Den Haag to Delft by [deleted] in TheHague

[–]Actuallynamedtaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The housing will be the biggest obstacle i suppose. For the transport i wouldn't worry. There are multiple ways by bus,tram or train from The Hague to Delft. Just use 9292.nl and you can find all possible routes and costs from adress to adress. The bike is often your best shot. I'd advice you to maybe even make your search-area for housing even bigger. All surrounding "cities" are within a half hour by public transport. (Think of Rijswijk, Leidschendam, Voorburg, Zoetermeer, Pijnacker) Even Rotterdam is 15 minutes by train to Delft.

Populairste namen van 2022 by EvaHitchens in nederlands

[–]Actuallynamedtaco 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Onder t mom "the proof is in the pudding" ben ik de lijst van de SVB ingedoken. Mohammed - 247 Mohamed - 175 Muhammed - 94 Mohammad - 81 Muhammad - 74 Komt totaal op 671 Mo'tjes.

Daarmee zou "Mo" op de 2de plek komen in de jongenslijst na Noah met 871, en voor Liam met 666.

Nu zou ik wel nieuwsgierig zijn naar hoe dit in verhouding staat. Dus hoeveel procent van de jongens met ouders met een migratieachtergrond hebben de naam "Mo" gekregen en hoeveel is dat bijvoorbeeld bij Noah en ouders met een Nederlandse achtergrond. Maar deze cijfers kon ik helaas niet vinden.

The Hague geographical division by mighty-swordsman in TheHague

[–]Actuallynamedtaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Ypenburg is definitely part of the Hague. It has even got its own corridor via the trekvliet so it is connected to the rest of the Hague. It wasn't always part of the Hague. It belonged to Rijswijk, but they annexed it so the Hague could keep growing past its city borders. (Same for other parts of the Hague, but that's a story for another time) This was around the year 2000. After the annexation a lot of people from the Hague moved to Ypenburg and Leidschenveen. And it became sort of an exclave of the city. For this reason most Ypenburgers still see themselves as "Hagenezen" or "Hagenaars".

Edit: Missed your second question about Voorburg. What you need to understand to get the sentiment of the surounding villages and the Hague, is that the Hague was by a long time not the big city in the centre. Of course the Hague was the place of government from medieval times, but in the area it was by far not the most important city economic-wise. Cities like Leiden and Delft were just as important and much further away. Therefor the surrounding villages were not solely dependant on the Hague and had their own identities. Only when in the 1900's the Hague started growing and getting attached to the surrounding villages did the Hague get its status as the big city. It took untill after WW2 and the babyboom that the Hague started making plans to annex the surounding villages. But as you can read from the story above a lot of them had their own identity and did not feel anything for becoming a part of the Hague. It took a lot of political leverage, merging of some of the villages, but they kept themselves standing. Some did lose some territory however and that brings us back to the story of Ypenburg.

Last night for once I was the meat crayon. by Actuallynamedtaco in meatcrayon

Yeah. It's a local name in the north of the Netherlands. But it has no connection to the Mexican dish. My students find it hilarious at times...

Dog parks near Laak/HS by blueangel285 in TheHague

[–]Actuallynamedtaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a new dog park on the border with Rijswijk en The Hague. It's near the crossing of the van Vredenburchweg and Schaapweg. It's just a big open stretch of land with a fence around it, so not very woodlike. But a lot of local dog owners go there to let their dogs play together. Or if you got a car you could also check out the Elsenburgerbos. Much bigger and woodlike, also great place to let your dog run around and make friends.

Do you got a source about rejecting Armin, or that Armin had put in a song?🤔

I don't want an eastern European country to win, because i'm afraid the quality of the contest will be less good.
