Aren't the Dutch the tallest nation on the planet?

I think either Denmark or Norway beats us with that one :wink:

Music charts are absolutely dreadful. It's even worse than the US charts!

I refuse to believe that! I thought the Dutch were supposed to be clued up about EDM (the decent side of EDM, anyway) :frown:

In the OCR Biology (A2) book it says that the descending Loop of Henle is slightly permeable to Na+ and Cl- ions, but my teacher says the book is wrong.

Calculate the mass of the sun.

do you like stroopwafels, and what's the best mayonnaise to put on chips? (or the best sauce) - I had the best ever chips when I went to holland

I do like stroopwafels! I'd say the best mayonnaise is Remia, or whatever the snackbar has 'on tap' because that's usually good too. That mayonnaise is soooo good but soooo bad for you hahaha.

Does what happens in Amsterdam really stay in Amsterdam?

Nah that only applies to Vegas. I hope you have a good lawyer.

We have good stuff but that doesn't show in the charts :smile:

They copy everything from the US and add some horrible Dutch music to it, hence the 'worse than the US' remark.

No, I intend to study in Scotland next year. The reason I joined this forum was because I was looking for information on the process, and look where I ended up now...

Is the music festival in Groningen in January worth going to?

I really don't know, this is the first I hear about Eurosonic (but that doesn't really say anything because I live under a rock for most of the time). But Groningen itself is a very nice city though, there are a lot of students so you probably won't be bored. :smile:

What is your opinion on Dutch universities and schooling system in general? Also, is the myth "all Dutch boys are hot" true? :biggrin:

Universities are good, high school could be better in terms of useful skills to learn (I heard that you have to write a lot of essays, which we practically don't do at all)
As for the Dutch boys; I do think we have a lot of hot guys around here :wink:

When I go to Holland, people think I'm drunk when I speak Dutch. :colondollar:

Not sure about that, some of my Dutch family have ridiculously strong Dutchie accents and I think it gives everything a vague comedy value. :biggrin:

I think it's very brave you're even trying! Especially the hard G must sound really weird to
you :tongue:

That's just it, I find it too funny to take seriously :biggrin:

I don't really like my own accent though, which would be a bit like American. I don't want to learn a British accent though because there are so many and I'll probably insult people all over the UK haha.
