Great to hear you're keeping this going. I'll try to be a more consistent participant.

You made me chuckle with this one:

For Easter we Dutchies deliver tulips mainly but also other Flowers from the Popes speech on the square at the Vatican.

When I was still in school, we took a trip to Italy during the Easter holiday. They made us go listen to the Pope' speech :0/
At one point, he says 'happy Easter' in many different languages. When he said 'Zalig Pasen' we all started cheering. But then he continued with: 'Bedankt aan de Hollanders voor die mooie bloe-oemen'.
We laughed our asses off. It's a moment I'll never forget.

Finally, now I know which flowers he was talking about :0)
