I rather listen to San Marino's Eurovision entry from last year:

Greetings from Wageningen...
Very historically important city...
I was dreading this years Liberation day crowds, now not so much because the festivities will most likely be scaled back or even canceled...
We also have a University...
I was born in the shadow of a windmill and i work at a cheese-processing plant...

Less and less WWII veterans, they still love coming here though...
 
Ah, a thread for Nederlanders! I was born in Canada, but my parents were from Roermond. My entire extended family still lives in Nederland, in Tilburg, Delft, Utrecht, Roermond, Venlo, and Nijmegen. When I was very young we lived in a village close to Hilversum, but we moved back to Canada when I was 5. Dutch is technically my mother tongue but I now speak it with a Canadian accent. I last lived in Nederland in 1974, and my vocabulary is still at Fabeltjeskrant level. My dad worked for C&A, which is about as Nederlands as you can get. ;)

Musts for me when I pop over for a visit (I live in England) are friet met kroketjes, Limburgse vlaai, katte dropjes, Chocomel, and bokkepootjes.
 
Is C&A a Dutch company? I had no idea!

Is there some childrens' programme in Dutch, like our "Sendung mit der Maus"? I read Dutch rather fluently but since I lack contact with native speakers I speak only little and am often uncertain as to how to pronounce certain words. Childrens' programmes tend to use a simpler language - ideal for beginners.
 
C&A = Clemens & August Brenninkmeijer, indeed very Dutch.

As for TV shows for children... eh, no idea I'm in the "GET OFF MY LAWN" category age wise.. ;):p
 
Mary Ann mentioned the Fabeltjeskrant, a childhood favourite of mine:

The language might be a bit oldfashioned... :D

Another favourite from my childhood: Bassie & Adriaan! :biggrin:
 
We moved back to Canada before Bassie en Adriaan aired. This is what I watched with my older brothers:

^ I don't think I was born yet at that time. :D

But these three actors played in several other shows that I did watch. Aart Staartjes was in Sesame street and De film van Ome Willem.
 
I remember being absolutely stoned out of my tits in Amsterdam, so much so that I collapsed and was revived outside a bar in the Red Light District
I also remember being stoned out of my tits in a place called the Poodle Bar in Rotterdam
I also was very flattered to being hit upon by a woman of a certain age in Amsterdam, the day of the Gay Pride March, pity her husband was also there.
I think I've ticked all the cliché boxes here.
Holland is cool, I like Belgium as well.
