PHILIPPINES and NETHERLANDS

[Suzanne Pach]

Hi Valerie,

Thank you for changing the name. Well, I'm not such an
expert of how we are called over the world, but Dutch
sounds the most natural to me (though of course it is a
bit strange, probably they just confused us with our
neighbours.. so then they had to be called german... :)

Suzanne.

Ps Did anybody ever use SignWriting to write down juglling
movements?
