Dit is een van de grappigste medelingen die ik hier op de Lowlands-site voor
de Lagelanden-taalen heb gelezen. Dit is med zekerheet een vergissing. Wij
kunnen maar well probieren een reuzenrad van Inner Mongolia uit naar Diemen
te stuuren maar het zou een tijd lang duuren...

This is certainly one of the funniest contributions I have read on the
Lowlands-languages-site. I am certain that this is a mix up between the
Lowlands-festival in Noord-Holland and the Lowlands-language-website.
Nevertheless, we can try to organize a ferres-wheel in Inner Mongolia and
send it to Diemen but it might take a while until it will arrive....

Groeten
Helge

Welkom, Martina!  Ik beken dat ik ook een beetje verbijsterd was toen ik je
verzoek kreeg, maar ik hoopte dat onze abonnees in Nederland het zouden
beter begrijpen, dat het "reuzenrad" een metafoor voor iets relevant is, of
dat het een alternatiefnaam voor "windmolen" is.  Daarom postte ik het, niet
om je te verwarren.  Wat Helge hierboven schreef is vermoedelijk correct: je
hebt deze lijst (Lowlands-L, voor talen en cultuur --
http://www.lowlands-l.net/) met het Lowlands Festival
(http://www.lowlands.nl/) verward.
Groeten, en beste wensen met je activiteiten!

Welcome, Martina!  I must confess that I, too, was a bit confused when I
received your request, but I hoped that our subscribers in the Netherlands
would understand it better, that the "ferris-wheel" was a metaphor for
something relevant, or that it is an alternative name for "windmill."
That's why I posted it, not in order to cause you embarrassment.  What Helge
wrote above is probably right: you confused this list (Lowlands-L, voor
talen en cultuur -- http://www.lowlands-l.net/) with the Lowlands Festival
(http://www.lowlands.nl/).
Regards, and best wishes for your activities!
