    It is indeed the town of Limbourg, seat of the former duchy of Limburg. The current Belgian and Dutch provinces of Limburg are named after it (when they were still one province) even though only about one town in their entire territory was part of it in the past. The Dutch king simply wanted to preserve the old duchy's name.

    Can't rep you, Athel.

    I guess, as Limbourg belongs to Wallonia and Belgium has long existing political tensions between the Walloon and the Flemish, the inhabitants of Limbourg would prefer the french name.

    That's a statue of the character "Miffy" and I believe they are located in either Amsterdam or Utrecht.

    The first guess on the last one was Utrecht, so I thought I'd go for that one now.

    Nice loli, double-nice on beating Akar who guessed Utrecht by a minute

    Yeah, not going there again. Unless I somehow stumble back into HEX you'll just have to wait or make due.
