    Electric showers?
    What's the deal with electric shower phenomena? That box in the shower cubicle. The On and Off switch. The mediocre pressure. Yet, there in the same bathroom, there are dedidated hot and cold lines running to the sink right next to the shower. I mean...WTF?

    1. You go to a camping site all the way down in Portugal and the campers next to you are Dutch.
    2. When they say, "Het is niet slecht bedoeld maar..." and they say it anyways.
    3. Just can't help themselves in having to make a comment about something new you've bought/wearing; accompanied by the pursed lips and the rubbing of their thumb, forefinger and middlefinger together, contemplating and simultaneously questioning its cost.

    For people seeking anything resembling US/TexMex food...You are plumb out of luck in NL. I'm talking restaurant food not the self-made variety.
    Europe has no burrito's.

    The problem is two fold:
    1) The Dutch affinity with cocktails is rather new.
    2) You simply can't walk into a grocery store and buy a good quality margarita mix.
    If Dutch stores sold a quality margy mix like Tommy's, Mr. T's or El Cholo - this thread would cease to exist. But they don't....  more

    Sure you can mix your own but convenience was never and is still not a Dutch forte.
    In the Dutch mind, quality comes second to price and I'm sorry but no one can tell me otherwise.

    in the topic Dutch roads second safest in Europe in the forum Dutch News
    Dutch driver's aren't necessarily bad driver's but definitely some of the rudest. That said, I've noticed that when Dutch driver's are in other countries - more in Spain and France than Belgium and Germany - they're not as rude. I have a theory. One is that Dutch driver's will fully and wholly cut you off if they feel they're in the right. God forbid you cross the street (by car, bike or foot) at an inopportune time. A Dutch driver will gladly speed up, rev their engine AND happily give you the crazy gesture while striving to make eye contact whilst driving by in utter disdain. Oh and these Dutch stories about their traffic problems, their happiness levels (women and kids), their sense of fashion, their food, their entertainment and completely boring BN'ers, etc...all overly exaggerated

    2700 per month...wow. You might have a better chance renting your space to a multinational looking to re-locate an employee here for a 3 month and/or longer period. That said. Hmmm...nice.
