Ahhh. Have we been waiting for this moment or what? I am back. It feels like I’m back in the normal world after last week, but days fly by nonetheless. I have been staring at an American flag all week, so I though about Missouri a lot. The Stars and Stripes is no stranger to me, because in Missouri, that flag is everywhere. You cannot drive five minutes without spotting a flag waving in the wind, decorating a bumper sticker or used to pump up some advertisements.
That’s a little difference from what I’m used to. No worries, we have a flag, but it’s not out there all the time. National holidays are naturally days when you can spot them anywhere, but I cannot think of one permanent flag within a 2 km radius. This can cause problems in some relationships, as I noticed the Missouri flag. It reminded me of another flag. See if you can spot the similarities too.
The official Missouri State flag.
It's not a magic 'make the seal dissapear' trick, but the Dutch flag.
I was wondering whether miss Missouri could see what I meant, so I asked her what the Missouri State flag reminded her of. Her answer? The French flag in a 90 degree angle.
Which one do you like better?
What is your favorite flag in the world?
Well, we Europeans should stick together, so my answer is I like the Dutch flag better – and my fav. flag in the world is the white one with a dove in it.
If I was to pick between the two here, I would pick the Missouri flag. It has more pizzaz. The second one looks like a nice background for something missing. Answer your question? Are you giving out gold stars for the right answer?
Don’t you think the bears are merely distracting from the bold, strong stripes in red, white and blue? Well, no gold stars, but I won’t give you any less points for picking the ‘wrong’ one
. What would your favorite in the world be?
