if it makes you feel any better, my dad and I were in a Mexican restaurant, and instead of words they had pictures of actual people. Unfortunately it was a poor choice of picture because they were too similar, my dad mistook the female picture for a man and walked into the womans washroom instead.
Fortunately it was only a whole bridal party inside changing, so he wasn't embarrassed at all ;)
oh i never thought about that, because i understand german, but you're right, "Damen" could really means "men"

PS heren you do not pernounce Her-en like Her, the e in Heren is totally different sound, however it's difficult to explain in words...
U might notice we sound a bit german, but with a big difference that maybe americans cannot hear.
If u ever come back to holland, let me know if u want some dutch lessons;)

lol.... yes in most public places, hotels, restaurants, bars there are like the male and female symbols/dolls painted, but yes i can see your point.
But u understand now that Damen means Lady, Woman and Heren means Gentlemen.
Lol..... great to see a video of you in The Netherlands.
Did u find Holland phlat and borring or did u enjoy the funny dutch entities or the funny dutch people?
How was your investigation and your stay in my country?
Too bad u were not over for a dutch dinner;)
