As they said in the movie In Bruges, Belgium is only famous for chocolate and paedophilia, and they've only got the chocolate to get the kids.*
Hey Dutch, what's the difference between Holland and the Netherlands?
*I've heard cake is often used instead of chocolate
About 4 key strokes.
Unfortunately I am not in the Netherlands much longer anymore as my business activities keep me moving around, setting up here moving on there.
Holland was a part of the country that later joined up with other parts to become The Netherlands and many still call it that to this day although the Dutch themselves generally refer to their country as The Netherlands rather than Holland.
Two provinces refer to this as they are called North and South Holland. That was thus the 'old' Holland as it were.
Holland was the whole western part until it was incorporated into the Netherlands as a whole.
Ah I see, thanks. As this is a slow day, another question: do you sing the second line of your national anthem? I've heard lots of Dutch people don't because it says Willem van Oranje is German.
That is because peple are ignorant of the actual meaning. Of Duitsen blood means Nederduits. The Republic of The Netherlands was around the time of the 80 year war with Spain (16th century) part of a great Germanic empire, with Nederduits being a part of what later became the Netherlands. Willem of Orange is spoken of in the anthem that actually didn't become the Dutch National Anthem until 1932 although it was composed in 1560 or something or other.
Also I'm pretty sure Orange is in France.
