well, we did drive a lot. but we also got out of the car several times to walk around a bit. we visited Den Haag, some windmills (of course), and a couple of other places. i don't remember everything now, this was...

You can have a lot of fun with languages that are close to each other. I live near a town where a lot of Germans come for shopping, especially if there's an event going on. And during those events a lot of German shop owners come too. There's often a market then. One thing they hear a lot is:
Ich sollen Sie bellen.
wich means: I will bark [at] you.
Bellen in Dutch = Anrufen in German = Making a phone call in English
Bellen in German = Blaffen in Dutch = Barking in English (as a dog...)
