I've been to Belgium for a vacation in the Ardennen and boy those roads there were deteriorated to the point where i considered them to become dangerous. We, the Dutch, have been investing in the roads heavily since the seventies for a couple of reasons: -as a trade nation, having good infrastructure is paramount -separating different types of traffic according to relative speed makes all the users safer, so since the 70's we've been improving to no end to make it safe -oil crisis in the 70's caused people to bike even more, so roads needed adaptations, aswell as alot of intersections etc. We're still adapting to this day. In short, when you as a country don't commit to such things, you get Belgians that are jealous :)

The weather is a huge conversation starter, the amount of times I’ve started a conversation with ‘wat een klote weer he?’ (What shitty weather, huh?).

Trains are 94% on time in Holland (less than 5 min delay), which is the 3rd highest worldwide ranking, only after Japan and Switzerland, who spent about 5 times more per head on public transport (government decisions...) . So yes, Dutch ppl really need to experience public transport for a few months anywhere else (not just on a holiday where they can relax), and than will appreciate how well everything is organised here. And how frequent trains and busses are driving. Even in France or UK many trainlines only have a couple of trains per day. Here 4 to 6 per hour is very normal, and at least 2.

@larissaswinkels3661

Maybe in some countries, technically if they are still in the store (closings) they can/ will also let someone in still. Because here you can get fined if you’re open after closing time, unless it’s a rare case in which there is an emergency. I am guessing that is maybe what the person meant at least...

I am from Belgium myself and I like how organised everything is. Especially public transport. It's not stiffling in any way for me, it's dependable. You can count on people. They will make an "appointment" for when they have time to grab a drink, but when that time comes, they'll be there. Why? Because they know your time is as precious as theirs and you could do so much more productive things instead of having to wait on someone who may or may not come. They hate that, I hate that too. When the train comes in one minute, it comes in one minute. If there is a delay, it is communicated almost directly. Good luck trying to catch a train in Belgium. Is the train late? Is it delayed? Has it passed already, are they on strike? When will it come? Will it come at all? Who the f*** knows? There are more and more signboards popping up in Belgium, but they do not always work correctly yet or aren't always fully up to date everywhere at all times. Belgium, and especially the government is a flying mess and a source of frustration for a lot of people.

Why the Dutch always talk about the weather? Because they are closed people and keep their private shit to themselves. ALWAYS. They'll never show it non-verbally either. Try touching on a private matter and you'll see they close up, and will start to reject you. For Dutch people it is taboo to talk about anything that falls under private business, except when indoors in their own home. Nothing else to talk about but weather then, isn't there?! Like americans, when in NL you ask "How are you?" it is just a greeting, not an actual question. And in case an answer is given, it is ALWAYS "good."

@@jonathancorwin5133 45 minutes cycling is less than 15 kilometers, that's hardly a big distance.

Long story short, school buses are not only in America, and not only in geographically huge cities. About the NL having big cities...just no. There are cities in the world larger than your whole country's population and size. Amsterdam is not even a million, and size-wise, it's as big as a district in a big city.

thank you for helping to remember the Netherlands. I loved it as a teenager and then I thought I was exaggerating but this is how I remember it.

My biggest surprises was how steep the steps are inside the homes, how early businesses close, how tall the Dutch are and how friendly everyone is. Lovely country and people though. Overall I had an amazing experience.

Strangely though, it doesn't rain much in The Netherlands. In fact, UK, Belgium, France, and even most of Germany score a lot higher in mm of rainfall per year per square km. It may *seem* that way, because when your view is wider (i.e. flat country), you get to see more of the rain when it does rain? Or maybe it's because the type of rain is less condensed, so more drizzle versus monsoon-like rains.. I have no idea where that prejudice comes from. NL is definitely NOT a rainy country. www.knmi.nl/nederland-nu/klimatologie/geografische-overzichten/neerslagoverschot
