Bring on the Dutch!
2008-06-06 10:55:00
Euro 2008 is about to begin. A lot of people here in the Netherlands think we have quite a good chance of winning the title. I’m not sure though. But you should really have a look behind the break to see your opponent if you are facing the Dutch… Anyway, who do you think will be European Champion in a couple of weeks?

The Dutch Language - A Languages of the World Primer
2008-05-07 07:00:00
Dutch began to develop in the fifth century AD from old Frankish, a Germanic tribal language. At around that time, the southern dialects of old Frankish (including the forerunner of modern German) underwent significant phonetic changes (known as the High German shift) whereas the northern dialects (including the forerunner of modern Dutch) did not.

How long one fifth of the world’s population think themselves to be inefficient? This moral lethargy of the community makes the world believe that Islam promotes violence and hatred towards ...

Harm Reduction: The Dutch Experience
2007-12-16 19:18:00
Does marijuana decriminalization work?Decriminalization of certain drug offenses is one of the goals of a loosely organized movement called harm reduction. While it neither ignores the dangers of addictive drugs, nor advocates their use, harm reduction, as practiced by organizations like the Harm Reduction Coalition, is a limited step that calls for making distinctions between major and minor classes of drug crimes. Above all, it is a practical approach.According to the International Harm Reduction Association: ?In many countries with zero tolerance drug policies, funding for drug law enforcement is five to six times greater than funding for prevention and treatment.? In place of that scenario, harm reduction strategies aim for the creation of non-coercive, community-based recovery programs and resources for drug users. The association defines harm reduction as follows: ?Policies and programs which attempt primarily to reduce the adverse health, social, and economic consequences of...

The Dutch love their cheese!
2007-11-06 15:16:00
With only a few hours at your disposal, how do you gauge the general gastronomic level of a city?Of course, by peeping into the markets and delicatessen shops.This is exactly what we did in Amsterdam, while strolling around from a canal to the next. Contrary to expectations, we were not much impressed by the breads (maybe we were just unlucky), but the cheeses...the cheeses were another story. Let's take a look in here, for example:Hi, we are two cholesterol conscious saddos and we are not going to buy anything, but could we please take pictures of your beautiful products?Thank you very much.Oh, yes:Plenty of varieties and a joyful display, with fantastic chromatic richness:Dutch cheeses but not only Dutch:Cheeses and more:And more, even with a 'mediterranean' slant:During our walk we encountered several other equally appealing delicatessen shops, equally well stocked with cheeses. The good Amsterdam people seem to have it quite better than in London, where the density of good ...

Will the Dutch Cabinet Say Yes To EU Referendum?
2007-09-21 11:56:00
Later today the Dutch Cabinet will meet and hold a vote to decide whether to give the Dutch people a referendum on the EU Treaty. The chances are that they will vote no. Like all EU governments the Christian Democrats are in favour of the treaty. However they are in a coalition with Labour who are pro-referendum.The mood amongst the Dutch people is still one of Euro-scepticism and the government are worried that the people will once again vote against the Treaty, leaving Holland on the sidelines. I can't see the cabinet voting for the referendum if the people will go against their wishes.Once again democracy will be struck another blow. Are there any true democracies left in Europe?

The Dutch Wedding as a day guest
2007-08-25 10:23:00
It was a lovely summer morning and we needed to drive to Enschede to be there for 9:30am. If you're a day guest the Dutch wedding starts very early. We started with tea, coffee and cake at the bride and groom's apartment with the rest of the day guests everyone dressed up for the big day. Hubert (the groom) was safely staying at his family's place but soon arrived to pickup Corine and together welcomed the day guests. It was then a short walk from their apartment across the centre to the city council building whilst Hubert drove Corine in the wedding car. The city council is the official marriage in the eyes of the government. Photos were taken in the large halls before moving upstairs into the small chapel like room where the ceremony took place and the marriage certificate was signed. Afterwards we headed outside and around the corner to a lovely old Catholic church where we were treated to a traditional Catholic wedding with the lighting of the candles and communion. No so ...

Dutch Watch: Filming Under Women's Skirts Is All in the Name of Journalism
2007-08-14 21:07:00
In my ongoing effort to demonstrate to you how great the Dutch are, a couple of Dutch news bloggers were just busted for filming underneath women's skirts in a shopping center parking lot. Apparently, there is a transparent ceiling in the stairwell, so that passersby below can look up and see people who are climbing the stairs. If you happen to be wearing a skirt, you could very well be giving the people down below a bushy gift.The bloggers claim that they were exercising their journalistic duties, but they could be thrown in jail for two months. It is a fate similar to what I would face myself if I do show up at the High School Musical 2 Friday Night Premiere Party.

Further Evidence That the Dutch Are the Chosen People
2007-08-10 01:08:00
A couple days ago, a giant-sized Lego man sporting a shirt that reads "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE" was fished out of the sea near the Dutch resort of Zandvoort. Nobody knows the origin of the Lego man, now known as Ego Leonard (as brandished on his shirt), but some have already attributed his arrival to a tear in the fabric of our reality. In the following video clip, the blond Dutch lifeguard-looking dude is perhaps the funniest monologist (unintentionally) of his generation.

The Dutch Stag Night (Vrijgezellenfeest)
2007-07-04 21:47:00
Corine and Hubert will be getting married on the 20th June so it is only fair they get one last night of freedom. Whilst the girls made necklaces and ate Gourmetten the boys headed out of town for an afternoon of fun and adventure. It started with a Canadian Canoe trip down a river joining two nearby towns. We caught a ride to the start and jumped in our boats. Everyone wanted to avoid being in the same boat as Hubert just in case he was targeted so at the end only Hubert, Pascal and I were left. We finally launched our vessel after the others giving them a head start. Slowly we caught up to the other boats and after a brief tussle managed to pass each without capsizing. Some of the bridges were so low that you have to lay down in the canoe or hit your head. Other obstacles included mini waterfalls and getting stuck in the reeds. As we approached the last part of our journey, we stumbled across some children and educated them in river warfare. We concluded the session by indica...

In Search of Burt the Dutchman
2007-05-23 05:42:00
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia5.23.2007I am twenty six years old today. That number looks pretty young to me, but Mira tells me that I am an old fuck. Difference of vantage point, I assume. I went out to the country side yesterday in search of a Dutchman named Burt.A couple of Swedish artist that I met in Ulaanbaatar heard about this Dutchman who has been living out in the back country of Mongolia for the past ten years. They told me about him, and we quickly decided to tramp out there and try to find him. So the artist Swedes, their one and a half year old boy, the traveller Lauren Everly, and I figured that we would go to Terej to ask around. We did not think that there were many big Dutchmen named Burt hanging around those wild lands for a decade , so we did not think our venture would be too difficult. We boarded a bus out of the capital and rode out to the countryside. In Mongolia there is no limit to how many people that can fit into a single bus, so it was a real tight ride all the wa...

The Dutch love the Belgian smoking ban
2007-05-07 11:31:00
The smoking ban that has been in effect since the beginning of this year has had mainly a negative impact on Belgian restaurants and cafes near the border with the Netherlands. Businesses in municipalities like Maaseik are seeing more and more customers cross the border to the Netherlands where smoking is still allowed in the hospitality sector. Restaurants in the Belgian part of this border region saw their turnover decrease by 25 percent during the first three months of this year.

The Dutch Flying Car Ready for Take-Off
2007-03-21 08:29:00
Flying Cars? Surely, your ears may perk up with this bit of news. Various technologies are rampant and let?s face it: today, the sky?s not the limit anymore.The modern-day Dutch automaker that?s christened as the ?Flying Car? company recently announced that it has found bigwigs to invest its start-up operation and a real-flying vehicle (gasp!) may be soaring above the horizon.The PAL-V which stands for Personal Air and Land Vehicle and the brainchild of the Dutch Flying Car company is basically a three-wheeled morphing of a car, motorcycle and gyrocopter with a patented ?titling? system all rolled into one. Picture yourself in a The Jetsons cartoon, flying to work and other places surrounded by flying cars. You can bet your two cents that this vehicle might be just the stepping stone for making all those flying technologies come true. Well, come to think of it, a flying submarine is just absurd.But whatever the case, the vehicle?s performance parts are attributed to its rotor and pr...
