The Dutch have an American accent,,– due to american television- but they might mix accents up because dutch students can learn so many languages at school. – English (obliged) and French or German (obliged) but also Spanish, Chinese, Latin, Greek, Arabic.

The Dutch do use umbrellas though. O THE MOST INTERESTING FACT I’VE NOTICED; THEY CAN ALL CYCLE WITHOUT THE USE OF ANY HANDS. and it doesn’t matter whether the surface is hilly or flat or whatever,, they can turn etc without hands. Fascinating,,

and about the hatred towards the Germans, that’s because of soccer,, trust me

Lived in Amsterdam 1969&70. The people there (all of them) were so gracious and tolerant it changed my life forever. Thank you Nederlanders!

While we are trying to plan another trip to Europe I found this so funny it left me in fits of laughter LOL! I really didn’t know as much about the Netherland region, I have been a tourist for sometime know so these are probably not the selling facts but that is true everywhere but when we visit a new place it is good to hear about cultural habits, offering a wider variety of activities on our trip, so thanks again for this article…… A Canadian wrote Kelly Green….

Imagine how many prejudices and untrue facts americans would have to defend on a page like this. I am an American,I live in Vermont. But most people don’t know where Vermont is, alot of people think its Canada. I visited Holland over the summer with my boyfriend and we had a great time. I just wish there was some way we could squash the stereotype that all Americans are lazy and stupid, It’s simply not true. It really other countries that have closed minds about us, I admit there are so many things I am ashamed of our country for, but you have to understand, its ignorant people led to believe the governments lies. Please stop thinking we are uneducated and lazy, im sick and pissed off of always hearing that, you sound just as ignorant when you group a whole country together like that.

Does anyone find, dutch and german people seem to have a very high arrogant attitude, why is this? A good example is your trying to help someone with what there doing even know they have never done it before but yet will still tell you what is wrong and right being completely wrong themself. Why is this so? Both Dutch and Germans.

Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities, and I don’t go for the drugs or the filthy hookers. The last time I was there I bought a bike for 9 Euros and had it stolen 2 hours later, which I thought was a good deal!
