I moved to Assen, but people from the Randstad keep telling me Drenthe doesn't exist. Am I living in a simulation?

As a foreigner guy studying networking here, I thought I had my routing protocols figured out. But I moved to Assen, and every time I tell someone from Amsterdam or Rotterdam, they look at me like I made up a fantasy land. Did I accidentally disconnect from the main Dutch server? If Drenthe doesn't exist, where am I currently drinking my coffee? Please send help (or at least a successful ping response)

[24M] in Groningen zoekt nieuwe vrienden

Hoi allemaal!
Ik ben Yahya, 24 jaar oud, en ik woon en studeer momenteel in Nederland. Ik studeer IT en netwerkbeheer.
Ik heb inmiddels niveau B2 voor Nederlands gehaald, maar ik wil de taal heel graag nog vloeiender leren spreken. En wat is een betere manier om dat te doen dan door nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten?
In mijn vrije tijd ben ik veel bezig met tech, ik hou van fotografie, muziek luisteren, en ik geniet altijd van een goede kop koffie.
Lijkt het je leuk om een keer een koffie te drinken, te kletsen en vrienden te worden? Stuur me dan gerust een berichtje!

Offering Arabic / Seeking English

Hi everyone!

I'm working on improving my English and would love to find people to
practice with — just chatting, correcting each other, and getting more
comfortable with the language together.

I also enjoy meeting new people from different cultures and maybe making
some friends along the way, not just a strict "study session" vibe.

As a bonus, if anyone wants to learn or practice Arabic, I'd be happy to
help in return — happy to do a language exchange if that interests you!

Feel free to message me if you'd like to chat 🙏

Op zoek naar iemand om samen Nederlands te oefenen

Hoi allemaal!

Ik ben bezig met Nederlands leren en zou het leuk vinden om met anderen
te oefenen — gewoon praten, elkaar helpen, en samen beter worden.

Naast de taal vind ik het ook gewoon leuk om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen
uit verschillende culturen en misschien wat vriendschappen op te bouwen
onderweg. Dus als je ook Nederlands wil oefenen (of gewoon zin hebt om te
kletsen), stuur me gerust een berichtje!

Bedankt voor het lezen 🙏
