8/13/2023 0 Comments No ticky no laundry images![]() It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that stores end up only selling the stuff that’s trendy. I remember a few years ago when everyone suddenly needed to have outdoor kitchens installed (a fad that died out as fast as it started). This leads into another point: There’s definitely more of a herd-mentality amongst the Dutch. I was so excited when I saw Space Raiders introduced to the Netherlands in AH a few years ago, until I saw they replaced all the cool UK flavours with just one crappy “Spacey Paprika” flavour. For example, go to the crisps (chips) and find that a huge portion of it is bland paprika flavour. here.Īs a Brit living in the Netherlands for 15 years now:Ĭompletely agree with point 5 Dutch supermarkets suck. But aggressive that is before some local confronts them and teaches them good manners □ Having lived in the West, I can know how people behave in their home countries and I agree that this has nothing to do with the way they behave abroad, i.e. When I see westerners (not only Dutch) in transport here I often find them disrespectfully loud, and aggressive when told to behave properly. Second thing about the Eastern Europe being rude, I agree that people can be rude here but I disagree that on everage they are ruder than western tourists. So, unless this page is the product Dutch hating trolls, I believe such a large number of comments could mean my impression was not totally unfounded. It is just my personal comparison of how HR people from various western European countries communicated with me. ![]() Am saying this without spite or negativity. In relation to the Dutch, when compared with other westerners, they do stand out as quite rude in my eyes. I am also from the Eastern Europe and, similar to many people in both West and East, I value directness but dislike rudeness, with ‘disliking’ being an euphemism. I am from the Netherlands (Friesland, to be exact…) YES: I keep telling that a lot! and also that I am not from Holland…. And I am not even talking about France, Spain or Sout America….!!!ħ. But the Germans are far worse with overtaking just to be 1 more car ahead…. Driving & Parking: I know the Dutch are worse with driving thant I was used to before. AH To Go: that one is only for something you forgot or if you swant to have a bite on the train etc.Ħ. Pricing is good and they have a good variety. Supermarkets: OK, for an American they might be small…but they are not tiny. The Dutch cuisine is quite simple and basic, maybe…. Gourmet food: there are loads of good restaurants and the Netherlands is famous for the variety of foreign restaurants. Talking about going outsie the planned schedule: the Germans can not handle that….at all.Ĥ. Birthday parties: I have no idea to which birthday party you went, but the ones I go to are spontaneous and fun. I know, I live in Germany already 7 years.ģ. Queuing: the Germans are far worse in it, especially in supermarkets. There are far worse in a lot of these points.Ģ. It should be alist of thinkgs that stand out for Dutch people, but it is not. ![]() Some points I agree with, but most I do not. And there are tons of snacks, just to name a few smoked eel, kroketten, loempia, pasteitjes etc etc. ![]() No more swinging house parties, I live in California now, and we still have parties, with lots of food and live music and dancing, maybe because I am part Indonesian and I stick to the Indo culture, every party is with tons of food, and dancing on live music. I guess, the Dutch have become boring people, in my absence from my country. and there are Tokos everywhere, that sells delicious snacks.Īnd I do not know what kind of people the writer of this article associate with, but when I was growing up my parents gave a lot of parties, my mom cooked for days, and the rug would be rolled up and my parents and their friends would dancing, and when I was teenager I had house parties and I went to house parties all the time, and we danced the night away on these parties. but about the food that is totally ridiculous, there is a wide variety of foods, even at Albert Heyn. I must say, that I agree on certain things.
