GENERALLY USEFUL SITES


Dutch auto club - ANWB http://www.anwb.nl/ as in most countries, membership has various advantages, such as free maps, cheaper entry to various places, etc. Emergency roadside help costs extra. (NL)

Dutch white pages http://www.nationaletelefoongids.nl/ (NL)

general info on the Netherlands http://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/netherlands/

lost pets http://www.amivedi.nl/ (NL) central agency for registration of lost or found animals. Website is in Dutch only, but call them if you have a lost or found animals for advice, and they will probably be able to find someone to speak English. Tel: 035-6013487

maps of the Netherlands http://www.embassyworld.com/maps/Maps_Of_Netherlands.html/

pagina.nl Very useful for anything you could be looking for on the Dutch web. Each page (pagina) is not a website as such, but a list of links related to that topic. Each page is hosted by a volunteer with a particular interest in thatr subject. http://www.pagina.nl/ gives you a list of all of the current “daughter” pages. If you have a specialised interest yourself, and have at least 100 links, you can apply to host a page yourself. Some examples of paginas: useful stuff like links to animal hotels and air tickets, but also links for stuff like pizzas, Britney Spears, cat breeders, and (one of my favourites) capybaras. You name it, there’s a page for it.

MISC FAVOURITE AUSSIE SITES


Aussie folk songs http://crixa.com/muse/songnet/songs.html

Aussie weather hhttp://www.australianweathernews.com/

Schoolfriends http://www.schoolfriends.com.au/ find your old schoolfriends from Australia or NZ – I got an email from my very, very bestest friend from high school via this site, after 20 years!

Toxic Custard http://www.toxiccustard.com/australia/ a fun site where you can ask anything at all about Australia

AND FINALLY SOME OF MY OWN FAVOURITE MISC SITES...


boys! have something to aim for! http://www.plassticker.nl/en/index.htm

girls! now you’ll be able to aim for things too! www.restrooms.org/standing.html useful for when camping and there are nettles about...

national anthems http://www.thenationalanthems.com/ Find your favourite national anthem. My favourites are Uruguay and Senegal – great tunes, stirring lyrics. I love San Marino’s lyrics, was stunned by Liechtenstein’s tune, and was surprised at just how jolly Saudi Arabia’s is. And if you don’t already know it, check out the translation of the Dutch national anthem – rather a bizarre first verse...

urban legends www.urbanlegends.com dispels or confirms myths about all sorts of things
