All I can say is that the Dutch are going to love me when I step off a plane provided I ever make it over there.

Thanks to pschoonveld for giving me a crash course in a few choice Dutch words on his recent visit to the states.

    I guess they will 'knuffel' vroom and find him 'lekker'. ;-)

    First, the title is a joke. I've had beer with pschoonveld and thus find him rather cool.

    That being said, here's a fair warning: when I was moving to Amsterdam, he advised me to demand a certain clause in my contract that translates to "pants not required." Fortunately, I asked what it meant before making said demand :) Since I will be leaving Amsterdam soon, I haven't quite figured out how to exact revenge (just kidding, pschoonveld!).

    Incidentally, the "hand motion" that kudra mentions resembles (to me) a Hillary Clinton wave in the direction of one's ear. Never could figure out what that had to do with "lekker."

    Cheers,
