Hehe, English lessons start at primary school here, when you're only 10 years old. And now I'm 21 and studying at University of Professional Education I still got English lessons. Reason: We live in a small country, with many many trading companies (import and export). So for a student who wants to be ready to enter the labor market (is that correct?? cause here we say it that way ) it's crucial to know his languages (I speak German too, and a little bit French).
Besides, I really love the English language! When you translate a famous English phrase (from a movie or something) to Dutch, it really sounds like crap. Take Tony Montana: "Say hello to my little friend". Sounds terrific!! In Dutch it would be: "Zeg hallo tegen mijn kleine vriend". Couldn't be worse, you should be delighted you don't speak Dutch!
And when I'm about to throw the side markers away, I'll PM you
Yes I remember it being very difficult to speak, lots of double vowel sounds...I was trying to help my Dutch gardener friend with his English while I was at school. I wonder what happened to him? I know he doesn't work at the school anymore. His name was Jeroen (sp) We used to go out after work and hang out at bars, while all the other kids from my school got wasted in Venlo. Trying to talk to Dutch girls was hard too! But yes almost everyone I met in your country spoke English even in the farm towns. That is not so much the case in my wife's country, English is less common in Slavic regions.
Anyway...if you want anything from North American Accords let me know, I don't go to the junkyard much, none close to the city here. But I have some other parts and contacts around here.

Venlo actually is quite a nice town. Not too big. Only 35k residents I think. But OK to get wasted indeed!
Well, Slavic region isn't the only place where many people don't speak English. Try Germany or France!
If I ever need something I'll give you a PM, thanks! Same counts for you by the way, but I don't think there are parts here that you won't find cheaper in the US. But you never know.
Gonna grab some sleep now. Hope to wake up when sun is shining (instead of rain!) so I can finish my rear bumper. Would be nice if I get that done this week, school starts next monday for me!
Ordered the filler tube today, had to wait till my money was sent to my Paypal account, which has completed today.
Only $128 shipped! Hope to receive it soon...
I just came home (went away for about an hour), and my little brother told me there was a guy with an envelope at the door half an hour ago.
Customs had to be paid, and he couldn't find any money so will come back tomorrow!
So tomorrow I'll have my Bisimoto Heat Shielded Intake Manifold Gasket..
Yay, new parts are always good!!! So the postman comes to collect customs fees in Netherlands?

I'm always excited when the postman has a package for me!
Indeed, the postman collects them. So he's standing there with the package which is for you, and if the fees aren't being paid he takes it back to his van.
So if you just kick hiss a$$ you don't have to pay I guess.. Never tried that strategy though!
Went to the post office today, cuz when you're not at home at the first and second delivery, you'll have to pick it up yourself..
Paid €12,50 "clearance" costs and €11 tax fee.
You've got mail:
Presents from Bisi:

We used to have go to Venlo to pick his arse up in an old Ford Festiva! My buddy Giovanni did the driving and I was the spotter for the plods...LOL. Driving around The villages in southern Netherlands is confusing if you aren't from there and don't have a Dutch license! We used to rally that POS over the rail tracks on the way back from the station!!! PS if you have friends who are cops...you didn't hear it from me...LOL.
