Hello, as the upcoming lan is approaching fast and furious, I would like to get some insights of Dutch culture so I can be prepared for any surprises.
What I have noticed so far observing the Dutch people living in the house where I live:
1. Dutch people sure love their blue jeans
2. Dutch people don t take their shoes, when they are inside their room. Meaning that they use the same sneakers, boots, etc to walk inside the house as they use them to walk outside.
3. Dutch people can t use a vacuum cleaner.
4. Dutch people love Albert Heijn
5. Not all Dutch people smoke weed.
6. Dutch people can not into cooking
7. Dutch people think positive mentality involves doing nothing all day, listening to some electronic trance music at 11 or 12 pm and drinking Dutch beer.
8. Dutch people don t believe in God, and in the last 20 or 30 years none of the new bornes have been baptised.
9. Dutch people are polite in outside, but in inside it would not be a surprise if they gossip about you behind your back and usually they don t have nice things to say about you.
10. Dutch students love to take loans from government to pay for their college studies, using all kind of tricks, like they have some mental disorder, which apparently according to Dutch legislation is saving them from paying stuff.
11. Dutch girls are not to much into interacting with foreigners, having sex with foreigners, or even saying Hi to foreigners.
12. Dutch people are extremely stingy.
So...what are Dutch people like for you?

Or you just ugly :X
That's basically anywhere in the Western world
That's basically anybody's favourite day, I think
There's nothing wrong in not believing in God and in my personal opinion it really doesn't matter whether some pedophile in a dress puts some water on your forehead or not, God really has to be a fucked up being if one's pass to Heaven depends on that. Likewise, there's nothing wrong in believing in a higher power.
Pretty sure you would hate Finland, finns are dicks both inside and outside. Go Finland.
Nothing wrong cheating out the gubbermint once in a while
Eh? I spent a few days with my class in a field trip to Vu University and met lots of girls wanting to chat us foreigner scum up. Not so many cute boys though
That's just managing your resources properly
Quite frankly, I'm not convinced. Dutch people are great people and I'm more than willing to come and aid them in their struggle against the muslim scourge once the civil unrest begins in earnest
Stay tuned
me: sees image

In the south of the Netherlands live 'farmers'. Not real farmers but they are people like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIQV8rOZ2ec
Then you have the people mentioned above:

But tbh.. I think most Dutch people are house-nubsters nowadays
It's the cheapest loan you will ever get! 0,12% intrest this year. It's just stupid if you don't take that loan. It takes money to create money ;) Intrest on a savings accounts are higher.. Imagine if you are a economic or financial student, you could really make some money.
Next year it will be possible to loan even more and the time to pay back the loan has increased. With the new rules it's the best way to get a ultra-cheap loan for a house.
