Skype #14 - Holland

We spoke with Mrs. Loftin and her daughter in Holland.  Ashlynn, the daughter, spoke to us in Dutch.  We had to guess what she was saying.
Some fun facts she shared with us in the Dutch language:
-50% of the country is below sea level
-Dutch people has the tallest people in the world and they don't play basketball!
-86% of the people speak English as their second language.
-18 million bikes in this country
-Holland is known for liberals, windmills, tulips, cheese,  and wooden shoes

Ashlynn then had some of her friends introduce themselves in their primary language.  We heard Greek, Swedish, and Egyptian introductions.

Dutch eggs are not found in the refrigerator section AND they have FEATHERS on them!!  YUMMY!!  Europe doesn't believe in egg washing, so they do not need to be refrigerated!

Wooden shoes are hand made in Holland!  So COOL! The climate in Holland is "rain, rain, rain!" it rains a lot and is cold.  The only time that it gets warm is in the spring and it gets to 12 degrees celsius, or 53 degrees Fahrenheit.

Holland doesn't use one dollar bills, they use Euros.
