You posted in mine thread--I'll post ya back
Hallo Maldur
Although I'm Canadian by law, my roots are quite Dutch (at 191cm is there any doubt?). All my uncles (ooms), aunts (tantes), and cousins (neeven en nichten, sp?) live in Holland: Heiloo, Nijmegen, Groningen, Rotterdam, Vries, Hoorn, Emmen (where I was born. Great zoo there--no I wasn't born in a zoo
), and elsewhere I've forgotten.
As much as I appreciate being Canadian in Montreal, I miss my familial connections--travel to europe is not as easy as driving down highway 401 over here for 500km (6 hours) to see my parents in Toronto. Sigh.
So, since I can't go to Holland this year, I wish you a hartelijk meeting in Arnhem! Tell us all about it, okay?
-W.
PS: Yes, sadly enough I had to use my engels/nederlands woordenboek
