I'm Dutch and well... all off the statements are 100% true... Yaaay for stereotypes, wooooo!

 

 

Also, most dutch people say "Patatje met" Not "Frietje met" :| Unless you are all from the south of the Netherlands, I can imagine they use "Friet" there... But here in "The Randstad" we definitely use "Patat."

I'm from Rotterdam and here, I've always been taught that "Frietje" is the Belgium way off saying it O_O. Just think off how you order fries at a snackbar "Patatje Met" "Patatje Oorlog" etc. etc. :D

 

 

Wikipedia agrees with me :P

Edit: Actually.. one could say that Wikipedia agrees with all off us haha

For those who care: The Netherlands consists of 12 provinces, 2 of those are called Holland. They are: -Noord Holland ( as in North Holland)

-Zuid Holland ( as in South Holland

They can be seen in the added picture on the westcoast.

The one at the top called Friesland is mentioned in part 21.

And the story about the child who put her finger in a dyke is actually an American story.

And the one called Flevoland is completely artificial:) Dutchmen were badass people!!

 

These are the things I have to add as a fellow Dutchmen:)

 

Btw Alexandra, I really enjoyed reading all of that, had some laughs:)
