Featured Hello from middle east- Jordan

Thanks

 

Is this the start of a wonderful business relationship?
@kristiaan , after you've depleted Belgium, you can still find a lot of Mechels and Luiks furniture here in the Netherlands. Prices the same as in Belgium.

 

We live on the border with the Netherlands, I check marktplaats, Dutch sites, flea markets and secondhand shops. And I am sorry to say, but Belgium as been and still is the best place to buy (to me!). And not just compared to the Netherlands, but also compared to our other neighbors.
But I do send my parcels from the Netherlands, far cheaper then Belgium.
Not just for the national postal services, but all others too (DHL, GLS, ...)

 

I think he is cool

 

He is.

 

Just ran into this add, it show very well what the market is today over here regarding this kind of furniture (over here!!). The add says you can come and get it for free!
It dates from end 2016, so chances are few it is still available, but with a little of work you can easily find other similar add's.

 

And Amsterdam....

 

Will that is just great I really appreciate this kind of furniture.. it's the first time I have a home in my life as I always lived within the army shellters and I tried to make it nice home .. I think you are lucky for having such things .. I can't understand any word from that websites the words is like this shcifjsj cwigagrj and also no way to collect it there .. what a lovely furniture guys

 

I heard that your countries like Holland and Belgium is very nice also I saw in the Internet nice pics of old and historical big buildings.. I like this style and if it's contains antique furniture i think I will never get out from there .. so be happy

 

Yes, the words are something like that. Even worse when spoken.
It says: antique hunting cabinet, bookcase, display case, Amsterdam. The part that Kristiaan has circled says: 'gratis', which means free, so it is a giveaway, as long as you collect it in Amsterdam or make your own transport arrangements.

 

Yes, our countries are beautiful, beautiful old towns, furniture, art. Even our people are considered to be beautiful by many foreigners. Living in a part of the Netherlands that is known nationally for its goodlooking people, I can confirm that I've certainly seen worse elswhere. But of course they all speak double Dutch.
Muslims love the flat, green countryside of the Netherlands, with so much water. They say it fits the descriptions of paradise. But there is more to a country than beauty, of course.

 

Yes it's true .. like paradise... I'm a fan of Holland football team as many jordanian here .. I have many orange shirts and stuff because foot ball is a serious matter in Jordan
I now a royal officer and meat many many time with Dutch colleges from Holland.. I received many invitations to vist Amsterdam but unfortunately I couldn't.. once the gave me a very delicious biscuits it's name is waffle I think .. I'm still like feel the taste untill now .. you are nice people and also I think that you have nice home and furniture like antique and I hope that some day to visit Holland and Belgium and to have nice home because I married before 6 months and like to give my children good home and send them to study in Europe by GOD bless and willing and to live better than me..
Thanks you nice people you are

 

Congratulations! I wish both of you a very happy life, wherever it will take you. Some Dutch wafels (stroopwafels) for the sweetness in your life:

Now you're talking! I am not a football fan (soccer to our American friends), but when 'Orange' plays, I will root for them and wear a silly orange sequined cap.
It has become part of our culture. Whole streets suddenly turn orange:




So thank you and your fellow Jordanians for your support!

 

Yes yes this is it .. exactly this .. now we have some of that so me and my wife made an agreement to eat 1 biscuit every week so it stay as long as we could .. I don't know how you eat it but we put 1 biscuits on the top of a hot tea cup and wait until it's became soft .. the honey inside is awesome it's very delicious

 

You can eat it any way you like, there are no rules.
I personally like the crunch and then the soft centre.

 

To be honest we didn't know how to eat it but in all ways it's very delicious .. do you have a home i mean yours ? What antiques you like good lady ?

 

Yes, we have our own home. We like different styles, but mostly antiques from Southeast Asia and China.

 

...but you would mention Stroopwafels. Now I want one! They show up here once in a while. Spekulatus too.

 

I visited Belgium years ago when I took a trip back to England. We took the hovercraft over to Balogne (Sp) France and traveled by bus through France into Belgium .. in Belgium we stopped at a British war cemetary where we visited for a while .. then headed for Ostend. What LOVELY countryside, and the best of all ..how WONDERFUL the people were, kind and welcoming everywhere we went, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. While in Belgium we stopped at a seaside place that was delightful, it had a French name and I can't remember it .. it was lovely there .. Joy.
