And I know its off topic..hope you guys dont mind...but do you have the same strange attraction to mountainous areas as I have. I believe it is because of the lack of having any over here. Also I am a big fan of very wide landscapes without a house or other construction in sight, propably same side-effect from living in this tiny over-organised country..

Although must say that living in Peru for a while made me appreciate our organised, green and flat piece of land more!..though I love Peru too..

AHG, I really like areas with mountains and really enjoying landscapes without seeïng any buildings/houses/or whatever......Seeïng as far as you can.....
Once on the boat to England I enjoyed watching around without seeïng any land! Also beautifull!

Thats imo due to the fact that we lack a horizon, unless you live near the sea. Not many options at seeing a horizon when u live in urban areas. I think that's also another reason I love living near the sea.

And for those who mised the news this morning:

In 2nd place:
Job Cohen, Mayor of Amsterdam, boasts an enviable record in national and city politics, academia and broadcasting, with plaudits from a range of opinion makers for his inclusive approach to politics and city life. In 2005, Cohen was named one of Time magazine’s ‘European Heroes’ for his stand on the notorious murder of film-maker Theo van Gogh in an Amsterdam street in November 2004. Cohen led the city’s people in street protests, calling for unity and tolerance. Since the murder, which Cohen himself was targeted by the assassin, the mayor has sought to bring together the capital’s immigrant communities to facilitate dialogue against extremism, both by and directed at Muslim immigrants, in order to maintain its famous reputation for tolerance and liberal attitudes. In an essay, which opens with lines from Jacque Brel’s ‘In the port of Amsterdam’, Mayor Cohen writes: “Amsterdam, a modern city with all the problems, opportunities and, above all, its special aspects, is one of the smallest ‘world cities’. Some 170 nationalities make up its 750,000 inhabitants.” One commentator agreed wholeheartedly: “In a city like Amsterdam, with citizens from over 170 national backgrounds and an equally diverse ethnic population, the importance of understanding ethnic relations and their sensitivities cannot be overestimated. Among many Amsterdam people, there have been serious suggestions for Mr Cohen to take up the candidacy for Prime Minister. I'm convinced that Mr Cohen's role as a mayor will be remembered for a very long time after he completes his term, in a positive way. It would be very good if he became the winner of World Mayor 2006, because it would mean a boost to those who work for harmony and peace - which in the current trends are not widely appreciated by the popular media.”

Well, anyone watched the news? The chance on a coalition of CDA/PvdA/SP is not that big....

So if we have to vote again, we just vote again.....

the server is slow here?

Anyone what to dialogue with me and exchange Dutch pms or email, then pm me as i wanna learn that language

I just heard on "Buitenhof" that Hoekstra maybe wants to try a CDA, PvdA, GL and CU coalition...any thoughts on this one??

Personally I don't mind having the SP in the opposition once again...maybe they are ready in 4 years from now.

Hey dutchies! Anyone heard the news today? No SP in the coalition....

Off course not - Balkie doesn't want to...

Let's see how stubborn Bos is...will he co-operate with Balk? If not - either (1) new elections or (2) a new government after the province elections next March (with PvdA)...

PvdA is afraid to lose more votes to SP...

As I may speak Zennish again: Fate will decide what happens...
I'd prefer new votings with no one voting a partie because her/his mommy or daddy did....... Damn fools
