Let's introduce ourselves
Hello! How are you? We're pleased that you're visiting our website. Our names are Rashid and Annemiek, and we come from the Netherlands. On this website, we'll tell you lots of interesting things about our country. For example, did you know that parts of the Netherlands are actually lower than the sea? Or that the largest port in the world is in the Netherlands?
We are Merel and Joris, and we'll tell you all about our history, our customs and our holidays. Once you have surfed on our website you'll know everything there is to know about our country.
We enjoyed making this website. We hope you'll enjoy reading about us and our country!
On this website you'll be able to collect all sorts of information and save it to your own scrapbook. Of course, you could also use it for an assignment about the Netherlands. Click on the scrapbook to see what you've collected so far.
Look at other people's scrapbooks:
Jeroen van Dommel did an assignment on the famous Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. And Karin Laar wrote a paper about the Delta Project.
