interesting idea, what’s for dinner topic, recently i thought about something like that, but then with recepies and everything - the local specialties as it where.
but we can combine it whith the local fastfood too ofcourse
about the dressing thing - well i don’t claim all the dutch are fashionable but in general i think americans have weird taste in clothing. But on the other hand you also have very cool styles. I like the streetwear kind of style and i actually have bought a lot of cool jeans, tshirts and sweaters while i was over there on my last holiday.
infection: what do i have to imagine by ‘lassie style?’
But is something with the general taste that is weird. Also homedecoration is something you don’t seem to grasp I’ve seen home decoration shows on tv over there and they do this home make over thing and it looks hideous when they have finished Mind you, we have shows like that over here too and the end result isn’t always so wonderful as well but it seems that americans just don’t care too much what’s in their houses or that the colors match or that it has quality.
I speak out of experience. Lol, yes why don’t we start a ‘this is my living room topic’
Tapir: hmm dutch stereotype of germans? It is true that the dutch have been raised with a dislike for germans, especially right after the war. But that is now more than 50 years ago. But still the wound is deep in some people. Others just think they are funny when they say “give me my bike back”. But it is true, germany does have some kind of negativity associated with it and we seem to be more orientated towards england/america, and france and somehow skip germany. I never realized that until you pointed that out.
But other than that we do have a german stereo type:
drinks a lot of beer, eats bratwurst, sings schlagers
i’ve been to germany once or twice and it strikes me how well behaved the citizens are. The streets are clean and ppl have respect for the community.
