And Brooklyn comes from the Dutch town of Breukelen.

Ja, en er zijn elf "Moskou"s in Amerika
Ik weet niet hoeveel "S.-Petersburg"s zij hebben

Maar er is ook een Amerika en een St. Petersburg in Nederland....tjee dit wordt verwarrend!

er is zelfs een Hoboken in Amerika, genoemd naar een nietszeggend dorpje in Vlaanderen
