I totally agree with Nobby, everyone does really well with english (i mean those to whom it is a second language). Your grammar is often better than mine! I guess that's just cos i'm lazy though.

Thanks :grin:. This is a good thing for my marks on school... but if you love Harry Potter, you must know the original language, right? It's not so amazing there are more people from the Netherlands here. I did't see much of the forum yet, but I allready think it's amazing!

@L'Oeil de Râ: I looked up "Netherlands" in my German-French dictionary and there it says "les Pays-Bas" or if you want to call it Holland "la Hollande".

@Topic: I'm from Austria.

We do have other things besides those.. :-? (And I don't mean XTC)
It's not like every inhabitant of The Netherlands automatically uses/deals in/produces drugs.
In fact, according to this chart, when you look at (problem) drug use in Europe, the lowest prevelance per 1000 inhabitants can be found in the Netherlands.

Welcome Avalon-Queen! Portugal's a really beautiful country :)
Hope you'll enjoy bao!
