The Dutch culture
As you might expect, the Dutch culture is different from what you are used to at home. In the Netherlands, freedom and openness are very normal. For example, it is customary to greet people in the street, even if you do not know them. It is also very normal and important for Dutch people to receive and give feedback or criticism. Don't be frightened by the fact that many things have to be done by appointment. Dutch people like structure. Equality is another very important aspect in the Netherlands. Think for example of equality between men and women, everyone deserves equal opportunities, but also that people of different religions respect each other. The Dutch speak to strangers, acquaintances and neighbours with 'je' and 'jij'. ‘U’ is often used for people who are older than you.
