They also like to ride their bicycles (they like to ride their bikes, Queen song, sorry). They not only ride them for transportation, which is a huge part of their transportation, but a lot Netherlanders ride them for recreation and sport. This shows me that they are a people who like to stay in shape, which admire greatly because I like to stay and shape as well because it shows that you respect yourself. And how they are a people that like to be outdoors which is even bigger for me because the outdoors is the greatest thing on this planet.

Another interesting thing I found out about the Netherlands is that they like to plan activities and events ahead of time, so they don't really like surprises or spontaneity. I find this hard to imagine since the Dutch culture is quite liberal and like changes politically and socially, but apparently don't like to be surprised recreationally or leisurely. Me, I love to be surprises, no matter for what reason, and I'm ?? Dutch, so I guess that trait never really rubbed off on me, but it did my parents and grandparents.

Also, the Dutch are very into manners and being polite, which again I find odd. Like for one, it's impolite to yell to say hello to someone from a distance, you have to wave your hand to get their attention. Another impolite gesture is to shake someone's hand while your left hand is in your pocket, and even just to stand with your hands in your pockets. Now this is just preposterous, these are just some things that you can't really manage half the time because you're not even thinking about it. I talked about these manners because I'm a man who doesn't like manners, and this upsets me and that's a reason I'm proud to live in the U.S. where manners are loosely upheld.

One more thing that interests me about the Netherlands are all the canals and water in the country and around it. They are famous for sailing and boating, which is something that I admire and always have wanted to pursue. They have so much water to boat in, so it just makes sense to do it. Sailing and boat making is just something that takes practice, skill, and patience. Everything has to be set perfectly for it to work and it's such a time consuming process, so a lot of work goes into making the boat and then even sailing it. I just love that, putting a ton of work into something and then being able to use it the rest of your life, which is why I love making things.

The article I chose is titled in my bibliography and I used this particular article because November 11, Veteran's Day is my birthday, and I've always been interested in the origination of that day and always thanking those who have served our country in war. It is Armistice Day, the day when the Allies signed a treaty with Germany to mark the end of World War I. It struck me how some people in the Netherlands didn't even do anything different on that day, or even say thank you to veterans only because they weren't involved in WWI. This illustrates the Netherlands culture by showing that they really do like to keep to themselves and are quite private in a sense. They like to be isolated and stay out of trouble, so that no trouble shall come to them.
