The Netherlands
1. We call this lunch. 6–8 of those with just peanut butter can get you through an office day.
2. We have bike traffic jams
3. You may have seen our Prime Minister and his ‘Beast’ in the news
4. If you have a newborn child, you’re expected to serve beschuit met muisjes (biscuit rusk) to friends and family; pink if it is a girl, blue if it is a boy. However, I expect this tradition won’t survive the next wave of SJW-craziness where someone will say it is sexist.
5. We have cycling superhighways
6. We have a lot of special highway crossings for wildlife called ecoducts (granted, various other countries such as Germany are also building these)
7. There’s an expression called Going Dutch, which means you split the bill when you’re in a restaurant with a group of friends. We always do this. Always.
8. Most of the Dutch dishes include potatoes, and we like to grind (Dutch: prakken) our food. Absolute madness.
9. Most soft-drugs are legal here and no one will care if you smoke weed publicly or go to the Red Light district in Amsterdam. Having said that, it’s mostly tourists who do this, and most Dutch people stay out of it.
10. Being blunt and direct is considered normal here. People will see it as rude if you hide the truth from them. So, if you have always wanted to say, “yes your ass does look fat in that dress”, then you should consider moving here.
