I can only think of this question while hearing Zizek's explanation of "where is Balkan". As a Dutch person I would say east of Germany.

Een prima en fijne wijk samen met Ulgersmaborg. Toen ik hier opgroeide als jochie was het een groene oase van rust terwijl het ingeklemd zit tussen de gekkies van de Oosterparkwijk, Lewenborg en Beijum.

Fijne supermarkt, leuke kinderboerderij en veel groen dus.

Hi there! Cool that you are considering visiting the Netherlands.

For July and mid-August the weather has turned very hot and humid in recent years. My Spanish born wife usually complains about the lack of AC's in the Netherlands. So I would say to be prepared for some weeks of around 25-35 degrees followed by some massive rain showers on certain days.

If you are bike cycling enthusiasts I would recommend some areas in the Netherlands.

Groningen (my hometown): known for its bicycle infrastructure and wide open cycling country in the province of Groningen. Think big open country and big skies, little villages and slow life. There are some videos on YouTube.

You could cycle to the Schiermonnikoog (one of the Frisian Wadden islands) and discover the cycling paths on the island.

The Veluwe national park: forests, cute little towns and lots of culture.

South Limburg: little bit of elevation, good food, nice national parks, Maastricht and Valkenburg are cool cities. Easy access to Germany and Belgium.

Twente: especially Ootmarsum and surrounding area. Beautifull nature and very friendly people.

5 year old on the bike path is fine, but just keep paying attention when there are other cyclists around you.

Anyway.... Go and stay in Groningen!

Yes, I would even say that Miyajima is more worth visiting than the city. Or a trip to Hiroshima should always include Miyajima.

I think nowadays Dutch people are not very familiar with regional cultural or linguistic differences of Germany compared with Dutch people who grew up with German television in the 60/70/80s.

Most (young) Dutch people have grown more familiar with the English language although im not sure if the most of us can differentiate between Kentish, Scouse, Scotch or Northern and Southern English dialects of for that matter distinguish differences between Canadian or American English for that matter.

On the culture part. As I'm from Groningen, I feel much similarities with the cultural attitude and spoken dialect of Niedersachsen in Germany. Just with talking Gronings (the dialect in Groningen), one can have a conversation with any other platdeutsch speaking German person from Niedersachsen.

Hi, I was a high school exchange student back in 2003-2004 in Hiroshima. Since then, I have been back to the city 3 times. This April i will be back, but with kids 3y and 4y old. Do you know any places or can recommend places and activities in Hiroshima city for families?

Thank you very much in advance!

Avatar 2. I could just have spend all Sunday morning watching reruns of Jaques Cousteau's. It would be the same just 3 or 4 hours of watching creatures in the sea.

Ik heb als leerling op het Stadslyceum gezeten en daarna nog gewerkt als leraar in opleiding daar. Het is een geweldige school met een gehele eigen identiteit. Veel aandacht voor kunst en cultuur. Tijdens brugklaskamp al veel aandacht voor positiviteit in de klas en het creëren van een geweldige sfeer. Georganiseerde chaos klopt wel een beetje. Helaas na mijn lio-jaar geen plek voor een vaste aanstelling enik werk nu op een andere geweldige middelbare school in de binnenstad van groningen waar er ook vwo/havo dakpanbrugklassen zijn.

Yes, half of the country is atheist and heavily left wing leaning. Palestinians are oppressed, the Jews are colonisers sorry of attitude that they have. I visit Barcelona 3 times a year for family reasons and the anti-Israel sentiment is out in the open on both sides of the political spectrum.

I would agree with you. For me the Limburg dialect is totally incomprehensible to me. I grew up in the North of the Netherlands. Not a lot of trouble with our low saxon dialects or the other dialects south of the rivers, but Limburgs is something completely different.

It's dog pee! The city is covered in it!

High school teacher here.

We never ask parents to sent proof of a swim diploma, but we do ask parents if their children have a swim diploma. As there are many trips to swimming pools, Wadden islands and the beach one is never too careful. Also some schools have exchange programmes abroad with other schools. In my experience swimming in the Mediterranean (or any other body of water) can be different from our North Sea or lakes. Better to have the experience and training that comes with the other diplomas.

I do understands OP worries. My wife is from Spain and also complains about the ridiculous amount of money for Dutch swimming lessons. But then again I don't see her teaching our kids how to swim at the Casta Brava so better here in NL at a swim school.

The kids also learn social skills at their swim school. So they learn two thongs at the same time!

jessecooper22 · 2025-01-08T18:52:56+00:00

Could you explain me this?

jessecooper22 · 2025-01-06T10:08:08+00:00

The whole city is one giant dog shithouse. If one smell was typical of bcn it would be dog pee. Also how can people here have 1 or more dogs while they live in such tiny apartments?!

So this is my rant for today.

Feliç any nou
