Friesland - Viesland

Well, my Dutch friends would definitely not like this title I just gave coz it means something like this - Friesland, the dirty land. Explanation later.

So Friesland is one of the provinces in the Netherlands. It is pretty unique because it has its own language - Frisian. It's not a dialect, it's the second official language of the Netherlands, beside Dutch. So a lot of people's first language is Frisian but they also speak Dutch, as well (except for the really short-sighted ones, who are not WILLING to speak Dutch.... ). But I do think, it is a pretty nice province, there is a lot of water (I love any kind of water) and the see is just half an hour far from here (Harlingen).
The capital of this province is Leeuwarden, you may know it because of the Domino-day - they organise it here every year. Pretty fun event, if you haven't heard of it before, you gotta check it out.

Besides, this province is also famous for Heerenveen (football club) and the ice-skating races.

So and why did I give this title? I personally don't like the attitude of Friesian people. Of course, there are always exceptions but a lot of them are typicall short-sighted people, they don't think out of the box at all. They always stay inside the province, never travel. But I must say there ARE real nice ones. I hang out with a Frisian girl at school and she is NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL. This discription is mostly about the people who live in the small Frisian villages and work as 'boer', so something like countryman/-woman. So who do fieldwork.

All in all, Friesland is a very nice province, Leeuwarden is a typical student city and for more info about the province just click here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friesland
