You look quite handsome there, although not particularly Dutch. What am I saying, you're from Limburg, duh! :) (Although I admit I have no idea what a typical Limburgian would look like, I tend to avoid that part of the country, more or less by accident.)
L&L was never on 90 days, anyway. Zompist wanted to make it a year but it turned out the maximum you could have was 255. Great programming there... lol

I never cared to look into my family's history, so I wouldn't know the reason for that. My dad's side of the family is partially from Haarlem and my mum's side of the family has lived in the south-east of Limburg for a few generations. Can't be too exotic. Though Limburgers in general are a little less Dutch looking than the rest of the country. After all, we weren't part of the same administrative region (country, kingdom, etc) for the longest time.

My unsolicited advice: lose the beard and cut your hair short. I think you'd look better with short hair. A new haircut can refresh one's whole outlook...

You are quite an ignorant peasant sometimes, aren't you? The English "traded" (at gunpoint) the Dutch Colony of New Amsterdam for Suriname, the renamed it New York. Brooklyn (Breukelen), Harlem (Haarlem), Wallstreet (Walstraat) and many others still remind of those old days.

I knew about New Amsterdam, I just didn't know the place names were still left.
Yo Viktor, you mind if I steal and photoshop that photo for when I go on my fake Dubai vacation?
