I was on a Dutch ship in Guam finishing up some electrical work, and I was invited to the officers Lounge for refreshments. I go up to the officers Lounge when I finished my work at the end of the day and it was kind of a social event.

I’m standing there talking to my coworker on a Dutch ship, with Dutch officers, drinking a Heineken beer, and listening to ABBA music. How Dutch Can you get, without being Dutch?

ABBA is Swedish. Golden Earring is Dutch, but they sing "Radar Love" in English even when they perform it in the Netherlands.

Well, it could have been an Oranjeboom beer.
