Here is a light-hearted look at the essential tools for integration into Dutch society.
Can I please make some remarks on the previous article with saying that it all sounds very biased I myself was born in Holland but have lived some 44years abroad.Firstly English people are not known for their cooking allthough I have eaten some wonderfull meals there so to say that potato masher ( stamppot ) is a staple food here is over the top,a bigger difference is that in an english kitchen the oven stands central and in Holland not ( Dutch Oven? ) but it is a multicultural society and there are few places in Holland left that are still traditionally Dutch,than family gathering might be as prescribed but are not nececcary so But it might be said that a lot of people are opinionated and because of being a small country they know more about the outside world than most but not at all as much as they think, further they are blunt and very outspoken (read rude and coarse) without regards for the other person but think that is being honest.About life styles that is difficult as most foreigners here live in the big cities and you can't call them typical dutch there are many typical dutch trends.
