Tell us a bit more about yourself and Eindhoven and the Netherlands. I really dont know much about it and would like to know more.
thanks and welcome again.
Well... I don't know what to say. I'm 18 and I live in Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. My parents (dutch mother, american father) work for a global communications company, so I've lived for periods of time in France (Strasbourg, Paris), the UK (London, but our home was in St Albans), and the States (Washington D.C., Columbus). I don't get much of a chance to speak English every day but I really love the language. I've already passed secondary school and plan to start university next autumn.
I'm 188 cm tall and I weigh 74 kg. I think I'm ok-looking. I've got dark blond hair and green eyes... ahm... well that's enough on me I guess.
The Netherlands is a country in western Europe. We call it Nederland. The capital is Amsterdam, but the seat of government is the Hague (den haag or s' Gravenhage). We're democratic and we've got a parlaiment. We've also got a Queen. We're really famous for legal marijuana as well as gay marriage and euthenasia.
Most people outside the Netherlands just call it Holland or Amsterdam. I had one person ask me once if we wore Peter Pan clothes in the 'Neverlands'
