[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9466889, member: 2844"]:playful: I've come across many people who think the Netherlands is a Scandinavian country. I suppose that they don't look at geography, but at culture. In that sense it is understandable. Btw, Scandinavia used to be just the Scandinavian peninsula, Sweden and Norway. Northern Finland as well, to some. Nowadays Denmark is often included, sometimes all Nordic countries. We could be regarded as Nordic, culturally close to Denmark, although we also have strong historical ties with Belgium and France.[/QUOTE]
