Maybe a stupid question, but...

That's nobody's business but the Kiwis!

Mandela effected.

I'd love to read the story as to what happened if anybody would like to share it.

It probably must have just been plain and simple 'Zealand'. You don't start off with calling something old, when in fact it was not old yet. It became old, the very same moment it became new. Where is it.

seems fine

How did they.... Why is it...

Thought I was logged in.

i don't think we are allowed to talk about this here.

Since about 46 minutes or so, there is a black sedan with tainted windows parked outside..

People from Zeeland used to go and rob and steal from the Portuguese back in the day. True pirates

No "maybe" about it.

oops...i confused this question with the "Northern Lights" thread

you've opened up a can of worms now.

I'm actually Dutch as well my friend, but happen to live in Portugal. Back in the days, the Portugese were not the friendliest people you would like to see sailing towards your peaceful village.

Now, about Zealand. Why was it where it was, did it become OLD and how come the new one is where it is at, while the old one seems to be in Denmark or somewhere..

That makes sense. You're welcome here. Cup of tea?

gotta head out....

raincheck

I've now counted a total of 15 secret service agents in the sedan.

Must be thanks to the defund the police thing that they're carpooling..

Door's always open for when you come back.

You’re right. Portugal and Greece are the most beautiful countries in Europe.

maybe

but their women's are butt hagg ugly

I've never been to Greece, but live in the Algarve. It's like paradise. And, mostly everywhere you go in Portugal, as you say, you will be able to find pure beauty just about everywhere you look. Be it villages, rural, nature, ocean, mountains, cities, rivers, and so on. On top of that, most Portuguese are amazingly friendly and caring people.

Truly worth a visit.. Best place to live.

Don't know about Greece, but there are some amazingly beautiful ladies in Portugal. That I can assure you.

Bat shit ugly women or not:

Zealand --to--> New Zealand. How. Why. When. What happened with the old one.

Well guess who founded New Zealand. It were Dutch from the original Zealand.

Pondering about what did they do with the old one, and how come it's on the other side of the world...

Not going to lie obviously it’s kind of a stupid question but nothing happened to the old one. A lot of Germans go on vacation there during summer time. Zealand youth called capers go around the beaches and steal their stuff when they’re swimming. Thieves. The province only has a small population most of them old people and the young people go to Amsterdam and Rotterdam to work and study.

To every stupid question some stupid answers will apply. Because it does not explain anything. Of course it is a stupid question lol, but it would be nice to know how they came to a name of New Zealand. Must have been people traveling from Zealand who went there then and then named it New Zealand.. What was New Zealand named as before that?

Nothing. It's still in the Netherlands just like nothing happened to York in Britain when New York was invented.
