I am from North America, but I am very intrigued by the Dutch culture and traditions. Can anybody please explain to me how the Dutch differ from the Americans in any aspect that comes to mind? Eating, cooking, fashion, driving, living, family, holidays, religion, daily routine, responsiblities, etc. Please nothing rude like Americans are just plain old fat and sloopy, I’ve seen plenty that say that. I am trying an experiment for a month and would like as much information as possible.
Also I am learning the Dutch language so that if I do ever get to the Netherlands I won’t be entirely dependent on the english language.
If you have any information please let me know. Thank you so much.
