Having lived here now for 4 years as a Dutchman and having become anglicised (yes i speak it fluently, dream and think in English, and I like fish and chips), I have really started to like the English people/habits, but what I would like to know is: what do you think of the Dutch? Tell us about your Dutch experience.... Very Happy

I've been to Amsterdam four times, so you could say i'm a fan of Holland and the Dutch people in general! All the Dutch people I have met have been fantastic, so in short, its a great country!

Hmm I wouldn't want to tar a whole nation with the same brush, but my Auntie is dutch and she can be a real nightmare! Arrogant and rude are apt descriptions...

I am impressed with most Dutch people's command of foreign languages though..
