But enough with talking about foreign places, let's refocus on Cheese eating, empire building, weird language speaking Dutch people

tbh I think I'd be able to understand what a Dutch person says as long as they speak slow and clear because it is so similar to German. It's pretty much a German dialect

It is very similar to German, sometimes in grammer sometimes in talking. Dutch is like in the middle between English and German which is perfect for me since I'm fluent in both. I would have to give up Turkish then likely

If so, never forget it! And don't give it up! Turkish is hard, very hard. I only can talk but not write. Hardly read it. My native language would be German because I grew up in a German speaking country but my parents teached me Turkish first and their first (and for my dad best) language is Turkish so I don't really know what's my first language.

I grew up with Dutch, but my parents taught me English first (as they give lectures in English), because they think I can't do anything with Dutch in my life. Therefore, English is my first language and Dutch my second even though I was born in the Netherlands . (Plz don't kill me NetherFreek )

Part II Do and don't in the Netherlands DO - Try and speak Dutch to them (do not speak German)
- Try their candy and other sweets
- Say you prefer Dutch licorice more than English
- Travel by bike IF YOU KNOW THE DUTCH RULES
- Know something about the Dutch history
- Be alert for pickpockets, sure we'll take your money.
DON'T - Speak German, since Fall Gelb we do not like the Germans that much
- Think the Netherlands is a weed country since the legal amount of marijuana you can carry is 15 times as less as in DC. (see picture)
- Think the Dutch citizens live in windmills, wear clogs and have cows as pet since that is not true at all
- Travel by bike if you do not know the DUTCH way of cycling (many differences like: we have our own ways for cyclists)
- Wait for the Traffic lights if you can pretend you are from Amsterdam [can cause serious injury or death]
- Walk on the bike lanes, if you hear a "cling, cling" or hear someone shouting "LET OP" (Dutch for Watch Out) from behind you jump real quick
or you may get mowed down by a cyclist. They do not stop for way to see and get around. Watch out for the dreaded tram tracks in cities.
- Think Flemish people and Dutch people like each other. Flemish people like to call themselves Dutch but if they try in the Netherlands they will be lynched publicly without the police interfering
- Call the country Holland since you will be lynched publicly without the police interfering
- Go into a coffeeshop expecting to get coffee
I didn't know the Dutch hate us German's that much for what happens 70 year's ago? I know we often call you "Käseköpfe" but that's just because you can't drive .but at last in both countries we dislike the French (I think no one likes them, because no one can understand what there talking).
