I am hoping you guys can explain what the difference between "Holland" and "The Netherlands" is...are they the same??
Amsterdam and The Hague are your capitals correct??
Are there cities within Amsterdam and The Hague or are they cities themselves?
would you say your from Amsterdam,Holland or Amsterdam,The Netherlands...The Hague,Holland...or The Hague,The Netherlands.....which would be correct....Den Haag,Holland or Den Haag, The Netherlands...or can you use either one Holland or Netherlands...does it make a difference??
ok now i need club locations...
where is
1. Innercity - What city in Amsterdam or is Amsterdam a city itself
2. Club EAU - its in Den Haag,Holland...or is it The Hague,Holland
3. Club Qontact - Where is this?
4. Dance Valley - its in Spaarnwoude,Holland right?
5. Mysteryland - its in Bussloo,Holland...right?
6. Amsterdam Dance Event - Where in Amsterdam
I am really trying to learn about your country and some questions seem dumb to you guys but i wanna learn...any information would be appreciated...thanks so much:) |

He!
Officially it's called "The Netherlands"
But we have 12 provinces,
2 of them are called Holland, respectively Noord-Holland (North-Holland), and Zuid-Holland (South-Holland).
These two provinces contain most of are 'dutchies' (they are the most crowded provinces)
You can refer to "Holland" and "The Netherlands" (which is our official name)
Amsterdam is one city (our capital city) in Noord-Holland.
Den Haag is not our capital city, it's the city were our government is. Den Haag is in Zuid-Holland
Innercity is a yearly event in Amsterdam, it's a big party called "Innercity", it takes place at "RAI, Amsterdam")
Club EAU is in Den Haag, a local club.
Club Qontact (dunno, "Qontact" is also a yearly party, dunno a-thing about 'club qontact')
Dance Valley is in Spaarnwoude (near Amsterdam), a yearly outdoor event (in august). Great Party!
Mysteryland = also a party (every year)
A'dam Dance Event is (i believe) party through A'dam (at the streets, sort of a parade)
Hope this is helpfull;)

Tiesto is going through the oakey syndrome, he is a victim of his own popularity and does too many radio hits, now he got the commerciel brand :(
Dance Room a program on radio 3fm, it is like dance department on radio 538 (or essential mix on english radio1)
and the Dome is in England, its huge you can see it in the latest bond movie |
