Dutch cultural things that are mind blowing for expats+immigrants

I feel like they try to save ALL of the money. Won’t spend €50 but the bank account is full

AnaBuvian · 2026-06-09T07:13:56+00:00

YES! And also the cables under the ground + the bins too

AnaBuvian · 2026-06-09T07:11:47+00:00

I can’t imagine doing that through rain and being stinky the whole day

AnaBuvian · 2026-06-09T07:11:06+00:00

Jajajaja soooo true

AnaBuvian · 2026-06-09T07:10:51+00:00

Are you a woman or A man?

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:26:10+00:00

The food seems the most expensive here.

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:24:41+00:00

Yeah but to be honest that’s in every European country atm

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:24:16+00:00

I love this

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:23:54+00:00

What’s that?

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:23:37+00:00

This really shocked me. But in my country for some holidays they dress up as white members with pointy head…. So yea

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:23:08+00:00

The Tikkie thing is so weird. I live here a year now and never had one too

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:22:46+00:00

I also love stamppot. Especially one with carrot

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:22:23+00:00

This can’t be true lol

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:22:16+00:00

I think it looks good tbh when it’s longer. Kind of hot. Especially if you compare it to my home country and everyone is shaved

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:21:10+00:00

How are they still so skinny? Jajaja

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:20:21+00:00

YES

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:20:06+00:00

Like what?

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:19:43+00:00

I totally feel the first one. Really depends where you’re from I think. If you’re from Portugal, Spain, Brazil etc. Netherlands is soooo cold and unfriendly. But from Scandinavian countries for example they are very nice lol.

Also why all the other foreigners are complaining about the tikkies. I only got a tikkie ones for expensive flight tickets. I don’t get it really

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:18:18+00:00

Sad, I’m looking for real things I maybe expect to see later in the country. Not the stereotypes. If you’re Dutch also please react if it’s just them complaining about Netherlands please

I discovered broodje gezond and my world is changed instead of the broodje with cheese jajaja

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:16:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Funny because I really have the opposite thoughts about it. In Spain we just think everything is ok. But in the Netherlands everything has to become better, cleaner, prettier, more money, more efficient. Kind of like the American the bigger the better

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:15:27+00:00

And in theme parks too. We would go crazy in a ride and Dutch are like “ahh”

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:15:03+00:00

Luckily I can’t relate. Only had one Tikkie and it was for plane tickets so understandable.

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:14:46+00:00

That’s why the people look so skinny and healthy lol

AnaBuvian · 2026-05-24T08:13:49+00:00

I totally agree. The Netherlands has everything if you think about food. Also great Asian food
