This is the website of my home town in Germany, They just celebrated the 750 year anniversary of the town having cityhood rights. The first documented account of the town actually dates back to the year 368 A.D.

Now THAT's history.

Hi Maksi, yes I did mean visitors to the house not ppl who live her. :D And I know I shouldn't judge an entire nation based on one man. :oops:

Ligia, ah ha! More clues! OK, so you wrote Nederlands with a 'd', which leads me to believe you may be Dutch or possibly German? Luxembourgeoise? Am I warm? You also spell Brussels the Flemish way rather than the French and Gent not Gand - the plot thickens! But at least I've narrowed it down to Europe! Could you be Flemish? :)

And yes, the Dutch sense of humour is funny, at least, Hans is. :D Although even after 5 years, sometimes I still find it hard to tell if he's serious or joking sometimes! :mrgreen:

Wow Martina! Couldn't understand much with my school girl German but looks like there was a lot going on - including a Queen tribute band? Or did I completely misunderstand! :shock:

I think I found the right Kirchberg on multimap - there were a few! Is it west of Wiesbaden towards the border with Luxembourg?

OMG ... :oops: :oops: Now I do feel guilty !

I´m a South American that since very young developed interests on History, Literature and languages.
My eldest lives/ works in the Nederlands (d!) for 9 years now. So I go there as often as I can, we travel together to other countries , I travel by myself or accompany her to locations where she goes on work; she goes a lot. :wink:
I´m used to Dutch life now, feel comfortable , can understand some words and even pronounce 2 or 3 ... exception: "ui" :P

Ok, below is a pic of a winter sunrise in my home town ... 8)

Ha! I'm sorry I made you feel guilty but glad I got you to 'fess up! :D

I can't say 'ui' either - the closest I get is 'ow'!

And that's a beautiful pic of one of the new 7 wonders of the world! :wink:

Agradeço do fundo do coraçaõ!!! :D

I HOPE I said 'thank you from the bottom of my heart' - for the photo and for telling where you're from! But googling can be dangerous! :lol:

You are spot on. My girl friend is in the organization committee and she's got a lot of good ideas.
