Der nashorn reporting

Cool! I live about 10km below Nijmegen. Where do you know him from?
 
A warm Welcome to you.
"Hoe gaat het met jou vandaag?"
I actually worked in Eindhoven for years. Very interesting historic area from Valkensward to Arnhem.
Can't wait to see the Market Garden Module of CM come to life. :D

That is great that people bond by playing online. I have a good American friend who I have met during my tour in Afghanistan. Once my kids are older I'll go visit him some day but for now we do speak eachother by Facebook and email.

That is so true! I have a good story about this.

A buddy of mine is in the Dutch airforce and he works at Gilze-Rije airbase. A couple of years back there was a German Hercules that always landed there every few weeks. And the Dutch airforceguys always joked with the German Hercules crew. Asking them when we would get our bycicles back and stuff like that. So one time the German Hercules came again and flew very low over the landingstrip, opened the rear door and about 50 to 100 bikes fel out. After that the German crew landed and said: "there you go..." They were never joked around again ;)

HA HA HA!!! Cool story! :)

If I were the German Chancellor, I would visit the Netherlands, say that the Germans deeply regret what they have done to the Dutch people and bring 1 million bicycles as a gesture of our firendship.
Really - I mean it.

I spent about 1 week of brainwash with the nuns in Vught (Language Institute Regina Coeli BV).
It helped quite a bit to bring me to a certain level of Dutch to survive. However it is still not really conversational.
You guys make it so easy for foreigners to speak English as a common language.
Cheers

We learn English @school from the age of 6 orso... And all movies, cartoons are in English so you learn very quick. You should do the same in Germany ;)
 
Welcome der Nashorn!! It is great to hear about your part of the world. From you as well as your neighbors!!
 
Hello, welkom by die klub, hoop dat jy dit sal geniet hier !
 
Thanks for the warm welcome!

very much appreciated.
i enjoy the international talk in this thread very much. We are living in a global world indeed.

Very cool to see people making an effort to speak some dutch.
Of course the English language is all you need to get by, but sometimes an extra language is very usefull.
I studied in Maastricht, and met a lot of germans who were studying there with me.
I spoke some german with them. I am not saying I am good in German, but I had a little advantage on my hand:
Back in my puperty I watched a few softporn movies on RTL+ and I was able to learn a lot from that.;)
Not that I am going to dig up some phrases here... :rolleyes:
 
LMAO!!!! :D

I think that "Uh Oh Ah" is international... *gg! And back in the mid 80s in school with the upcoming cable TV my mates and I were absolutely sure that the Dutch have the better porn! LOL! :D
 
:) admitted. The porn was downright terrible.
But I have leaned much about German costumes (dirndels) and I can go to Bayern (Bavaria),
and speak a few words expression how beautifull the Oelm (alps) are.;)
 
It was terrible indeed. But the only one accesible. Those days you just took what you can get....;.). I hope you liked the Dirndls. They have some really good benefits. For the last two weeks munich was full of them as always during the Oktoberfest. And I hope you don`t mind correcting you. You pronounced "Oelm" quite good. But its meaning actually is not the alps in general. Just agricultural used greenland in the alps ;-).

BTW: I really like visiting the Netherlands. Beatifull country. Only downside you can`t go skiing there nowhere ;-)
 
Thanks Walter,
I appreciate the help on the Oelm. There you see how educating some international chat can be.

I totally agree with you regarding the skiing! I do miss mountains here amongst a few more things.
 
I thought a Oelm was like a "Alm" Us Rheinlanders just have no idea I think. We probably confuse Oelm with a brand of beer.

Nashorn you said: "I do miss mountains here amongst a few more things." ......what other few things, now you got me interested.?/??. Enlighten me.
 
Thanks Tim (Toblakai)
You are the one that got me in to this...

Oh and Mat (S.A.M.), where should I start:
-- mediteranean climate would be nice to start with.
-- vast and expanded nature, where you could walk for hours without meeting a soul (not counting bears)
-- cheap housing
-- etc
But I am very happy to live in poststamp size Netherlands nevertheless.

But new Zealand (where S.A.M. is living now) would be tempting...
