Why I am writing in English
Maybe it looks pretentious, a Dutch guy writing in English. My English isn’t even that good! But I figured that, since the Dutch understand English, and the English understand well, English, as does half the world population, I might as well write in English.
I like Dutch, I am Dutch. It’s officially the most beautiful language in the world. But this blog will be in English.

Dag Jelle!
Great you write in English – mijn Nederlands nog niet zo goed is!
Just spotted today in the news that Altai Rep. is trying to get new money from space agency – saying there is no more “raketopad” there (pretending so in fact I assume).
Are you aware of Argali | Altaigate case?
You read Russian – thus welcome to the Altaigate tag in my blog – at http://lenaswan.livejournal.com
Ook: nu in Moskou tot Mei 16.
Groeten, and your van Moskou tot Magadan is/was really great!
