ieeeeeuuwwww!!! what’s that, biscuits and gravy?? looks hideous! typical american food i see
actually the dutch aren’t known for their chocololate, at least i was surprised when i heard it, yes, belgians make way better chocolate.
clogs=wooden shoes and you’d be surprised how comfortable they are, i wear them everyday … NOT!
bad drivers? i wonder where you’ve been? in general we behave very well on the road, especially when you get fined if you go over the speed limit by 2 km an hour. They have those flash boxes on the high way and if they flash you have to pay. Everybody hates them.
what, and you don’t think that when you are on a bike you can’t be a bad driver? also, you haven’t been in morocco then, wow, they think the white line on the street is to help you center your car so they will drive right on it, they will honk when they want to take over. (look look here i come! go away!) and there is a speed limit somewhere but nobody seems to know it. Ppl actually have flashy tail lights that flash on and of when they brake so ppl see they stop. real horror to drive there. (thank god i didn’t have to drive but as a passenger it was even worse)
ok everybody forgot the dutch cheese. I’m a cheese addict. Dutch cheese is so good! Especially the organic one.
And liquorice anybody (whatever you write that?) actually i don’t eat it that much but it something you can only find in holland.
french know what good food is!
americans: so paranoid about alcohol. If you want to drink a beer somewhere you have to carry it in a paper bag so nobody will see you have alcohol with you (like that bag doesn’t scream: look! he has some alcohol in here!)
Mind you, i don’t drink but i find that attitude so paranoid.
what i like about americans is their openess. they will compliment you on how you look if you look out of the ordinary. In holland ppl everything out of the ordinary is generally not approved of. a dutch proverb: act normal, then you are crazy enough already. (doe maar gewoon, dan ben je al gek genoeg).
the stereotype of americans in holland is: Fat, wear big flowery outfits, big photocamera dangling from their big belly, talk loud, only eat hamburgers. Mind you, that is the stereotype in general, not ‘my’ stereotype.
(like general stereotype of the dutch is: live in windmills, wear wooden shoes, ride bikes, smoke pot)
in general i think americans are badly dressed. If i see what ppl wear in the audience of a talkshow they air here (we have a lot of them ranging from ophra to dr phil to jenny jones to jerry springer) - in general they look hideous. And they wear glasses, i don’t know, but i just have to laugh when i see some of the frames.
ok i will stop now, save some for later
