Yeah this is not something that I’ve ever heard referenced but I’m not totally fluent.
Also I doubt that the cold and wind part of uitwaaien as described by this non-native speaker is relevant vs. the fact that NL is just often cold and windy and that’s the only way you can get outside? :) I’m sure that the Dutch would do this on a sunny day as well if they could find more of them!
This article was junk, but yes Totally agree going for a windy bike ride along the canals or the beach, or a windy dike will certainly clear your head a bit, or allow you to think about things and feel refreshed. Any time away from work / stress to think will do this, though - it’s not a “method” to be used.
- Scarblac 7y agoI mean, it is true that a walk out in the wind (say on a beach or wide open nature) can be enjoyable, and you feel refreshed when you go inside again afterwards. And we do sometimes set out to go for a walk in windy conditions -- because the alternative is to stay inside during all of autumn. I just don't believe that's an especially Dutch thing.
