I was wondering...

ok GUYS--don't be wearing MY NEW FRIEND out. That was a beautiful video and I saw some Projects (low income housing) so I know you have a "South Side" Your City looks like something like out of a dream. Im just a plain person so my comments/questions do not take as much thought as my friends. Your Mayor was wearing an impressive "necklace". Is it valuable? Is your weather similar to ours? (OK, I'm wearing you out now). What's the crime rate? Respond whenever you can, I'll be waiting.

Hey there BlackDiamond.

The necklace my mayor wears is his coat of office. It is something every mayor in my country wears, the neclakce symbolizes the city's coat of arms and all the surrounding communities. (it is not valuable in the form of money,but more of symbolical value)
The weather is sometimes like yours, in the winter we had alot of snow, but mostly we have a lot of rain, and very warm, but moist summers. Our climate is moslty influenced by the North Sea.
The crime rate? Depends on what crime you would like to focus? There are many things going on. So you have to be more specific!

For all the others, I hereby extend an invitation for all to come to my country and se for yourself how things are done here. I know that the US and The Netherlands are two very different countries, but we shold co-operate and learn from eachother instead of splitting hairs
