Ok I’ve seen these mosiac meme’s around but the gal over at A Touch of Dutch turned it into an expat in NL type meme, so I figure I’ll give it a go too.

Here’s what you do:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page of results, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.

12 Dutch things:

• A favorite Dutch landmark: Kinderdijk. Check out my pics from Kinderdijk here and here.
• A favorite Dutch food: Stampot Boerenkool!
• A favorite Dutch phrase: "Helaas pindakaas!" [Translation: "Too Bad!" or “Unfortunately!”]
• A favorite Dutch celebrity: Famke Janssen
• A favorite Dutch candy or cookie: Stroopwafel
• A favorite Dutch musician: Marco Borsato.
• One favorite thing seen on the Dutch roadside: Hollandse Gebakkraam.
• When you think of all things Dutch, this is one thought which first comes to mind: KAAS! [Cheese]
• One least favorite thing about the Netherlands: REGEN!! [rain].
• Something Dutch you send home to family & friends: Stroopwafel (again! haha).
• Favorite Dutch holiday [whether you celebrate it or not]: Sinterklaas! (We don’t celebrate it but it’s Christmasy so I love it)
• Favorite season of the year in the Netherlands: Herfst [Autumn/Fall]

I just realized a lot of my favorites have to do with food.  It may have something to do with the fact that I’ve been up for hours and haven’t had breakfast yet.  Maybe I should do it again when I am less hungry and see if any of my answers change!
