And you can't visit the entire country in one day. Unless you never get out of the car and only circumnavigated the borders...

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...)
Thatīs cool! So Dutch dogs are able to make phone calls!
