Hoi Teddy,

Een snelle uitleg, jammer dat zo weinig mensen Nederlands lezen ;-)) Ik ben een Fabergé ei-fanaat, van kind af de (sporadische) artikeltjes uitgeknipt over Fabergé Eieren, meestal die van Malcolm Forbes. Omdat er niets in het Nederlands bijna niets over was ben ik het gaan maken en daarna gaan vertalen naar het Engels. Had het achteraf beter andersom kunnen doen. Door de eieren en de verhalen die ze vertellen raak je vanzelf in de ban van de familie en de geschiedenis van de Romanovs. En zo is het gekomen ;-))

Groetjes, ook aan Heleen!

En nog een (ex-)Nederlander.
Originally from Amsterdam, Holland, I have been living in Helsinki, Finland for already 30 years. Very convenient, so close to St Petersburg, where I have been this spring/summer already six times. I know many people will be jealous of this possibility to go there so often.
I am fluent in Russian (and Dutch, Finnish, Swedish etc.) so that helps.
Ben altijd beschikbaar en open voor vragen, verzoeken!

I only wish I still spoke Russian...I am picking up little bits and pieces now. I never learned to write Cyrillic (sp?). I hope to speak it again by my graduation from high school.



Good luck on catching up on your Russian! ;D

By the way to all. Its said that the Russians would like to have Crown Prince Willema-Alexandra of the Netherlands and his wife, Maxima on the Russian trown if Russia ever becomes a monachy again. People of Russia really likes our Monarchy. ;D

As Russian , I never heard about such desire to see prince Willema- Alexandr at the role of Russian Tsar.
But I would like to say that Dutch Prince looks like Alexandr I very much.

It was in a Dutch newspaper a few months ago, the Telegraaf.

The Telegraaf?  That explains a lot: it's not a newspaper known for its reliable information.


And also in "Het Algemeen Dagblad"! :D

Hoi Allemaal, (Hi everyone)

Rudy ook van mij een groet! En even zeggen natuurlijk dat ook in Zuid Afrika Nederlands wordt verstaan ;-))

Rudy, greetings from me too, and for the record, in South Africa many people do understand Dutch too.

Looking for someone to translate a few sentences in Russian, I did it through Babelfish and I know how horrible that can turn out. Rudy, iets voor jou misschien?

groetjes,
Miek
