Province of Zeeland, the Netherlands
++ Very Nice Summers
++ Loads of chicks (only in summers)
++ Beaches facing south (unique in NL!)
++ Highest number of sunny hours per year on average
++ I live close to beach, which is nice in summers..
++ Cycling is great (in summers)
++ We have world famous waterworks (architecture): Deltawerken.-- Winters suck.
-- Loads of rain (especially in winters)
-- Did I say winters suck here?
-- Boring place (especially during winterseason)
-- People call this part of NL 'backward'
-- Most people here are 'backward'
-- Actually everyone is backward here (especially in the winter)
-- Even more shortmindedness here then in Mississippi and Alabama altogether... *i think*Bio, you got a friend. :]
