Scheveningen (スケベニンゲン) in Japanese

When I first got to Japan, a friend asked me if I knew a place in Holland called "perverted people". I looked at her with a strange look, and then realized she was saying Scheveningen with a Japanese pronounciation, which is "sukebe ningen" (スケベニンゲン). When I told her I lived in "sukebe ningen", she had a good laugh and proceeded to tell all her friends I lived in a place called "perverted people".

  2. I knew why I liked this place from day one! It was the 'I belong here' feeling, no doubt!
