Thank ya all for welcoming me! That is really nice!!
Thanx!
By the way, I’m a normal 33 years old girl who studied journalism and music managent and works now in communication field. I love to travel as far and oft as possible and I live in the south of Holland. Not so exotic as you may think. 
Just humor us. We don’t get out much.
Oh, I don’t know. That’s pretty exotic from my frozen Canadian viewpoint (although it’s actually quite springy here today… I think winter may finally have broken). 
+1 
90% of any interaction I have with people that aren’t local, is on the ‘Interwebz’.
And 90% of that is right here on the good ol’ SDMB. 
how you doin?(he said leeringly friendly)
welcome from those of us in North Texas
(don’t tell my wife I said that) (leeringly at least)
the How you doin’ part is ok though
To demonstrate how ignorant I am…
I didn’t know Holland was big enough to have a south.
Welcome, I was just in Amsterdam a month ago while it snowed.
Does everyone ride bicycles in the snow down in your part of the country like they do in Amsterdam?
After reading your posts for years I never would have guessed English is a second language to you so kudos. And both a cordial reception and a hearty welcome to Miss E.
Do you guys really eat french fries with mayonnaise?
Holland has a North and a South – but I suspect that Miss Einighausen really comes from the southern Netherlands, which are south of South Holland.
Hi up there Anybody who isn’t American and living in the US is by definition exotic, here, even if that means almost half the board.
Wait, does that mean I’m exotic? Will that help me find a girlfriend/a job/fame and fortune/my destiny?
No. Sorry to burst your bubble, but hey. We value truth, here.
Are you kidding? We fucking drown 'em in that shit. 
And I’m glad to report that to me and Miss E, both you 'Mericans and Canadians are extremely exotic.
Not just that, but the Dutch in the south and those in the North can go on and on about how different Northeners are from Southerners.
Holland is 500 miles long from the most northern tip to the most southern tip.
French fries must be eaten with mayonnaise (unless you’re having poutine) - that’s what they are for (mayonnaise delivery system). Even better when it’s a flavoured mayo, like paprika.
My ignorance is particularly appalling because I grew up in a Chicago suburb right next door to South Holland, Illinois.
We don’t drown them in “shit”, but yeah, Maastricht is right: we Germans eat mayo on our Pommes as well.
