Tis my last blog entry for I will be returning to the states on Friday. If there is anyone out there that is still reading this garbage, I feel sorry for you. Alas, here is what I've learned from the gentle people of the Netherlands...
Proficiency: As a large, unfair, generalization of an entire culture, the Dutch are better at everything than everybody. However, they do not have a completely true identity of their own. The Dutch cook, play music, build roads, stay fit, and thrive better than any culture I've ever come across. The Dutch menu on it's own, is not very good, but I've had the best French desserts, Italian pizza, and Japanese sushi in Holland of all places. Job well done, Dutch.
Efficiency: One day, I got off the bus and saw one guy cutting up some concrete next to the bus stop benches. That evening, the concrete was fully removed. The next morning a new set of benches with an entire new overhang was installed and a new bike rack was being installed. By that afternoon, the entire bike rack was filled up with bikes. If you build it, they will come.
Deficiency: The Dutch can't dance and their hamburgers are weird.

ReplyDeleteFact: They have the longest legs in the world. Fact: They are freakishly better at everything.
