I liked the picture for July (Juli); a good use for a true luxobarge Continental. nudave, I don't know about the Netherlands' teenage pregnancy rate, or why you thought that relevant here. But the Dutch better do something about their birth rate or they'll join the Dodo Bird in the Hall of Extinct Vertebrates.
I had no idea they had so much desert in the Nederlands.
I thought that Autoblog.nl wasn't part of AOL, unlike Autoblog.com (and its translated versions) and AutoblogGreen.com.
This calendar may have been posted on Autoblog.nl but it's German, not Dutch. The months are written in German, not Dutch, and Christ is also German, as is stated in the Dutch text on the blog. It's been many years since I lived in the Netherlands but I do believe that society there is generally much more open than much of the repressed USA. I believe the Dutch, and most Europeans for that matter, are much less frightened of nudity, especially breasts and nipples, than many Americans seem to be. Perhaps it's because there's a much stronger separation of church and state. It will be interesting to see whether this changes as immigrants make up more of the population and most of them come from places where religion and government seem to be one and the same.
