    I've been reading some cultural articles I found and I've been trying to learn about the cultural differences between the English and the Dutch, as I take a lot of interest in learning about European cultures.

    Is it true that the Dutch are very direct and blunt, and are not reserved, tactful, or considerate towards the feelings of others when saying what they think?
    I think it really depends on where you're from. Southerners (the same goes for the provinces in the East) tend to be slightly more reserved (a bit like the Belgians but less so - particularly when compared to the English) and being too direct ("vrijpostig") isn't considered a good trait there either.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    You know you're Dutch when everyone loves you. (It's impossible to not love the Dutch.)

    You know when you're Dutch when you can hold a soused herring up by its tail and sink it straight into your mouth.
