Being able to do a GOOD Scottish accent is an art!:D Me, I am a natural, had a lifetime of training. lol.

For the Dutch, it helps when speaking it, just like it does any language, to put an accent into what you say. Otherwise the Dutch just speak to you in English.

I was at the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky bar one night tasting some 50 year olde gin and talking to a very pretty bartender, and she told me in passing that she spoke 5 languages. I was impressed that a bartender had that sort of linguistic skill. I asked her why she spoke so many.... :lol: ... she replied that, "nobody wants to speak Dutch, so we have to learn everyone else's".

That made sense the more familiar I got with the Dutch language. :lol:

Thats seems to be the way CJ, only about 20 million worldwide speak Dutch/Flemish I think. And like you say, when you hear it there is no surprise why, lol

Bloody hel, that Oude Genever (slow gin) is real suicidal hang over material, worst suicidial one I had was an Oude Genever from a specialist Genever bar out in Ketel near Scheidam (a friend of mine stayed out there) He took us to this bar which sold a millions of different types. I ended up arguing with his friend the owner about weed and alcohol (you can guess the argument) But the Walnut Genever left me for dead the next day...bah

The difference is not in the drinking of bier....it's in the quality of the bier drunk. If ur in the USA, and drinking mass produced suds.... ur drinking swill compared to EU bier.

Yah, that oude is a killah! My hotel on that trip was in a crazy hotel called the Nadia. Like 77 steps just to get to the desk, and then another three flights to my room. I don't know how I got there....I certainly don't remember getting there, but since I awoke in my bed, I must have! :lol: That gin has an amazing taste though.... I don't remember how much it cost, but it was not cheap. My bar bill was over 400 dollars....but I bought a few for some folks I met there.

Here's a few pics I snapped yesterday...

Cool pics everyone!!! I just got back from the Amsterdam Wellness centre, spa, massage etc, (treat from the wife!!!) but the place is au natural. Absolutely no phones or cameras allowed, unfortunately, or clothes. And I can tell ya, there are a lot of fit Dutch birds (eh sorry wife, but there is! you just can't go out with them - very possessive) Who say's people don't look at these places!!

haha, what is it with couples and amsterdam? :lol: when i was there the amount of pensioner couples, it was totally insurmountable, and you know where they were all at, the red light district :lol: the old blokes were getting all horny i'll bet while their wives all tittered and seemed to find the whole thing hilarious, maybe it was just their enjoyment watching their old timers try not to get in shit :P

that sounds pretty good man, love therapy centers and such, especially when it's as you say, au naturel :) but does that mean they have no clothes either? cus that would be hypocracy and i'd demand it of them! :P

Yah, the place I went to took ur clothes as well...which was cool with me and my wife.

I have become good friends with the owner of the B&B I stay at and the last time I was there, I remarked at how many good looking women are in Adam.... He just laughed and said.... those are immigrants!!! :lol: Nice sense of humour....

I must say, I have been to many places and so far the best looking women statistically is Iceland. I LOVE to fly Iceland Air.... usually some smoking hot stewardesses.

Singapore Airline stewardesses are hot, and the uniform with the traditional slit up the side of the dress......mmmmnnn. They stitistically have the highest proportion of millionaire stewardesses, probably because they only hire from rich families!!! Will need to look into this Iceland thing.

I really like Iceland and have been there a few times. The first time was in the winter, and about 8:30 I called the front desk to ask when the sun was rising! The nice gal chuckled and said, in about another hour or so.... :lol:

Hey, it's the only place that you can touch both the North American and European continental shelves at the same time!
