[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1979755, member: 372207"] I had to google but I now know that rusk is beschuit. They are very good with butter and mature cheese. Or with strawberries! In the early days of the Netherlands it consisted of 7 provinces (still part of our politics are organised by the, by now, 12 provinces.), led by some duke or other overlord. They came together for decisions that concerned all provinces as the Republic of the 7 United Netherlands. The province where everything happened, and where the bigger, richer cities were (thanks to the VOC and WIC with their trade in the East- and West-Indies during the 1700's or 'Golden Century') was the province of Holland, which is by now devided in North-Holland and South-Holland. We have our capital, Amsterdam, in North-Holland and our Government in The Hague, in South-Holland. Both Hollands have a lot of cities and it's where everything happens. Ask someone from those provinces if they are fine with the name Holland for their country, and they probably are. Then there are the more rural provinces and you might get a different answer. There is often a feeling that 'those city people from Holland haven't a clue about a big part of their country. So go with The Netherlands and you're always safe! [/QUOTE]
