I was talking about that thing on the Visacard, the electronic thing on the left, maybe smatchip is the right english word... That thing has been created by a french guy. He had the idea of the way he could make it after have smoked a joint. I can't say if he was smoking dutch weed...

Praise yourself

Thanks God! Keeps him away from my eaaarrss!!!!

C'est un beau roman
C'est une belle histoire
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui.........
haha


Okay, sorry, now I'm just teasing you.

Marco Borsato Rules!

He is the bestselling (I said bestselling so not the best, but I think he is!) Dutch Artist..

Hmm, he's not my taste sorry. But i do agree that a lot of dutch people love Marco Borsato, but I don't. (but I'm afraid a lot of french people love Michel Fugain too.. )

Wwhhaaa!! You even can write the lyrics

Yes, mainly older people. My mother likes him...

Well..good thing not everyone likes the same artist

Otherwise the world would be a boring place to be!

Michel Fugain is misschien een geile slet Ik weet het niet... Say that to your mum

A geile slet? Hahaha, your dutch is great

You think so? I'm having intensive hot dutch lessons lately

This is a good one..France has more space than we do

LOL

That is a good one, yes!

France has a musculin culture with a high power distance in the management style. They have a president, a man on the top.

Holland has a feminin culture with a low power distance in the management style. We have a Queen, a women on the top.

Holland rules......and I'm a Scouser!!!!!

Fuck france fought 5 wars with the bitche won em all

Is it so hard to keep it friendly in this topic?

MArie Curie was from Poland her husband Pierre Curie was french but she no, well the best things in France are "les boulangeries" je aime les boulangeries beaocoup!!! ajaj when I went to PAris or Toulouse I spend a lot of money in the Boulangeries. France has a lot of good writters like BAlzac (if you can read the history of his life was really an amazing life), Victor Hugo, Jules Verne.. great painters like Monet, Manet, Delacroix, grat philosophs like Voltaire, Descartes..

Unfortunately this is not true my dear

Yes we have a queen..but she has no power and therefore she's not on top

Chirac has power but he doesn't do a shit with it, so...

The Dutch queen has no power either....

Holland has Harry Potter is he as powerfull as in the movie???

He'd wish..

The French guy who invented the chip that is found on so many cards is Roland Moreno:

Merci pour la precision

France versus Holland: Mountains, wine, romance, fashion, nationalism, paris, Chiraq.

Holland versus France: Flat, Amsterdam/Rotterdam, beer, rave parties, direct, open, Balkenende.

or something like that

nationalism

less than Holland for sure!

From my one experience: yes

Why? what was your experience?

if I go to paris and I do not speak france but englisch to a cabdriver he won´t drive me anywhere. If is say: could you please take me to the sacre du Couer (forgive me if i do not write it the way it´s suppose to be written) he will do as if he doesn´t understand me but if i say: sacre du couer sill vous plait, then he starts the car. I have had this kind of examples everywhere in France. and yes you could say in a little village that these people i´ve met do not speak english but in Paris where toerism is high i would say no..i know for sure that they understand me.

This will not happen in the Netherlands, at least i´ve never seen that happen

Well, French people are usually very bad with foreign languages, their english really suck so i think most of the time people just dont understand what you say. It's not a matter of "nationalism", just a problem of communication.
Paris is not France! People, atmosphere there is really different than the other places in the country (pardon pour les Parisiens mais reconnaissez que c'est vrai!), it's usualkly less friendly, people are always on a rush, in their own "bubble" and they wont pay attention to tourists.
In Netherlands people understand english better but sometimes they do naughty things of purpose to the tourist. A few time, in Amsterdam, i asked my way and they sent me the opposite direction on purpose, not very nice but it makes me laught.

Maybe you´re right I cannot say I´ve spoken to every citizint (?) of France so I cannot make a conclusion about everyone

I´m going to france in two weeks so I will go openminded and with a translotation book from Netherlands to France , i will be open-minded

Where do you go in France?

I haven´t made plans yet, I´m going to take a buss, put a matrass in it and drive. I take route national to Spain and stop now and then whenever I see something beautifull

Panne au chocalate, beautifull mountains, Moilin Rouge and Lido........

whhaa!!!! typical! you forget the really nice bred (baguette) the smelly cheese and the wine

Plaagzuster, on your way to Spain you must stop near by where i live,in the south before the spanish border, nice beaches and a lot of sun there

That sounds good! I could use some sun and i love the beach!

Yeah but Panne chocalat is my favourite

Uitspraak van Miss diamond op donderdag 28 juli 2005 om 11:54:

Panne chocalat

The right spelling is: Pain au chocolat

My favorite dutch speciality is Haring!

Sorry about my spelling, dont speak french, although I have been there for 2 1/2 months

Quite a long time! Where about and why??

Different places, Clermont Ferrand, Paris, marseille, Orleans, Cannes, Lyon....
