Another fun bit of Dutch stuff:

The nearest hospital/clinic (the Amstelveen Ziekenhuis) is on a road called Laan van de Helende Meesters. This is approximately "Avenue of the Healing Masters" in English. I'm pretty sure that ziekenhuis, though Google Translate says it is hospital, is basically sick(plural) house. Is that literally something like place for sick people? I do remember similar things in German like "krankwagen" (sick-wagon) meaning ambulance...

One more bit of silliness:
"Boon" in Dutch means bean. So whenever my partner's name appears after being run through an autotranslater, she is Dr. Bean. No relation, as far as I know, to Rowan Atkinson.
