Dutch - opinion (Page 2 of 3)

I agree, best thing should be in between. It is true that we Belgians are way more reserved, modest and discreet then Holland people. That's just how we are mainly educated in our childhood. Meaning you can't say whatever you want whenever you want. Or shout and being loud, we just "usually" prefer to be little more discrete. That's our vision of politeness I guess..

But as a Belgian I honestly don't think it's for the better to be as quiet comparing to other countries generally speaking. It just appears to be more polite in a world overruled by manners, but it doesn't make life better ans smoother...
When I speak to some people over here I sometimes want to shake them out so that they wake up a little and live there lives instead of trying to be as much invisible as possible    

Spend your vacation in Spain with people from Holland, Germany, UK, Belgium and you will clearly feel the difference.. This is what a typical Belgian thinks about the people on those vacations (again, very generally speaking)

- UK: Much loudness, much beer, pretty rude manners, ugly loud girls or should I say half boys?
- Germany: much loudness, ugly language, pretty strict cold looking and handling, mostly superb looking girls..
- Holland: Very open and loud. sometimes arrogant, still the nicest to meet in comparison with the rest, especially for the party. 

In professional life I also met those different countries on different occasions, and i have to say my personal judgment is very different then. Way more positive, except for the ugly and superficial UK girls, haha!

...and you forgot the Dutch women Aftering, shame on you.

As long they are not Dutch... haha

some years ago during a 10days off evening I met this Dutch girl who made the effort to speak Flemish ...
now that is a definately a turn on
nice tits too [/gets slapped by the Mrs]

The British girls, ytz & all...
Some time ago there was an inquiry about this.

shape should count for more in case of boobies (this topic is going sexist)

so many belgian beatifull girls and the speak sexy too 

True, there's almost no sexier accent than Belgium or French.... Rrrrrrrr
But lets stay on topic. Years ago I sometimes went to Antwerp for a good night disco. Better music, more style, less commercial shit... that all was just a little bit before they gave a name for the music style, newbeat.
There was one club name I can remember 'The Prestige', although there was another small & dark club at De Grote Markt (where the big church is) in Antwerp.
The Fuse in Bruxelles was good too!

I was wondering the same, are Belgian people tired of getting out? If a party has an attendance of 50 people, that's a lot nowadays.

Dont know about holland but I agree that the early years in belgium were a special era.
Early nineties in particular. My home wasnt far from Cherry moon so we drove on our moped to the place. It was a good combination of blissfull trance and in the late hours the real detroit classics.
But those were the early nineties. Anybody enjoyed rave explosion parties? Quality techno it was.
good parties over there untill like 97 when bad taste overruled good taste. Even razia's were fun then. When you bumped into somebody or stepped on a toe by accident you became friends with the person. later on you could get a beerglass smashed in the face in the same situation. Feeling old by saying the lame "it was better back in those days" but it was. Hard to explain it to the youngsters

Did all the clubs but didnt make it to bocaccio, when I was planning a visit it got closed the week after.
Bocaccio style is still a trademark for good new beat or euphoric early piano trance/rave

Just based on my experience watching... a variety of film stars... the Hungarian chicks are the hottest 

Know we know what kind of movies you're watching

But hey, lets mention the Dutch police instead of girls or football. Last time there was this advice again on TV; as a Dutchman we should tone down quite a bit if you try heated negotiations when stopped by the police, in another country. In The Netherlands it is quite common we raise our voice and try to settle our opinion, and we can be harsch (until a certain degree ofcourse) but I'm convinced we do this enywhere else we cross a line very fast... and make things worse.

When i get stopped by the police in Belgium with my yellow plate you can see when they walk towards the car that they are gonne fuck you up, only when i twist my accent the mood turns.

I once was stopped close to Berlin and was negotiating like an hour with the man till he got so tired about it he let me go. Little did he know of what villain i was, a good car search could have expanded my german visit by several years. real happy it didnt and it was a good reality check for beeing so stupid and young.
