I really like the look of the countryside around Leudal and the engineering that has gone into the bridge at Zeelandbrug.



The canals are beautiful, Amsterdam must be amongst one of the prettiest cities in Europe.

The other face of the Netherlands: Wallonia

Wallonia???

Wallonia???

Wallonia is like Flanders: rebel country. But they too are part of the Greater Dutch family even if they now feel otherwise. But I am sure that in our home the table is already waiting for them.

But the Walloons aren't Dutch, not really Germanic either, how do they fit into the Greater Netherlands if it is to be a nation-state for the Dutch? Or is "Greater Netherlands" more about unifying the Benelux countries?

Walloons are partially Germanic and Walloon French or Walloon itself (there is a Walloon language) has a lot of Germanic influences in words and grammar. There is a Whole Netherlands-movement. Some people even extent that to Luxembourg but I don't go that far.

In that respect you can say that for Wallonia a similar approach counts as for Switzerland where there also Swiss French that are profoundly different from the French themselves.

Could somebody post some pictures of Haarlem and Delft?

[The Lawspeaker]

I will post some later for you but some of Delft are already available

I've been there some years ago and forgot how both towns looked like. :
