A Dane living in The Netherlands

Wow, I can now say that I have been working in the NL. Manpower found a one-day job for me in Apeldoorn, where I was to call norwegian companies to solve a technical problem. Unfortunately they only needed me for one day, since they already had new people in training.
But they thought that I spoke fluently norwegian, because I'm a Scandinavian. Quote: "But you all speak the same language up there". It is a problem I run in to again and again. It seems that many Dutchmen actually think that Scandinavia (more or less) is one country.
Well, the job went well - I only had ONE norwegian, who did not understand me, so I consider the experience a succes.
