Hi !

About us dutch and the languages...

I find it rude not to speak the language of a stranger, so I always try
to speak the language of a guest...maybe that's why we always speak
English to Americans coming over..

Hollanders get very rude however when they come to the east of the
country of the Netherlands, they refuse to learn eastern dialects, and
tell us here in the east that our dialects are "hillbillyspeach...",
well, I guess there is a difference between real guests, and
countrymen...too bad..

Moi!

wim
