Ansitru Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 's-Hertogenbosch, Noord-Brabant, The NetherlandsNow I wanna hear all you non-Dutch/Belgian people fail at pronouncing it Ohey, I've been there for the Model European Parliament a couple of years ago!

KyleNeon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ohey, I've been there for the Model European Parliament a couple of years ago! It's a nice little town and Bossche bollen are amazing.You've got to be kidding me!This is the first time someone who is not from the Netherlands actually knows about it, it makes me a very proud 'Boschenaar' ^.^And Bosche bollen you say? Yes, a true Boschenaar grabs it with his hand and eats it within 5 bites, who needs fork and knife anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our school was one of the schools that always participated in the MEP and I managed to participate two years in a row, once as delegate, once as commission-leader. From what I remember, 's-Hertogenbosch looked teensy bit like the city where I'm from. Not exactly huge like Antwerp, but with a lot of history and a very nice city-center to walk around in. And yep! My biggest regret is not eating more of them while I was there, because I was too busy with the parliament. Damn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, You could always just happen to be visiting the town to buy yourself a whole shit-ton of them!At least, thats what all the wealthy bastards from Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht and Amsterdam do...

Don't even bother, Amsterdam is the reason why this country is shit, it represents all Dutch people, but the overall culture and way of thinking in Amsterdam is uncomparable compared to the actual country. Basically, it gives all the foreigners a wrong view on Dutch people, we'd be better off without that shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a girl then lol, but eh, no, I don't really care about what they have there, I personally prefer Brussels because of all the chocolate stores there, it's just plain an amazing city.

So many coffee- and tea-places, small niche-stores and little eateries. It's a hipster-city but I love it. Hell, even my own city of Mechelen is starting to clean up nicely! Many new independently-run shops by artists and such, so that's always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm hanging on with Brussels for now, because you see, I'm one of those guys that see chocolate as a form of money: when it's given to you, it makes you very happy!

(Oh god, the Dutch-Belgian brotherlove in this chat is almost a spam lol)Dutch-Belgian master-race! At least it shows we're above making petty jokes about each other? I mean, Antwerp is really nice if you find the time to visit it. And definitely stop by het Rubenshuis and MAS if you're into cultural city-trips.OH! And there's a chocolate-bar (I think it's a chain?) Quetzal near the Melkmarkt. They make a triple chocolate choco-shake which is addictive as hell. Annnnnd. Hm. Lemme think. There's also a cupcake-shop that does some of the best chocolate cupcakes as well. Oh, and if you ever visit Mechelen, try the chocolate "Mechelse maantjes". It's basically marzipan-filled chocolate and it's the official thing from our city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
