- robin_reala 4y agoBelgium wins on the beer and frites front though.
- AlecSchueler 4y agoBelgian beer and frietjes are available in the Netherlands.
- Maken 4y agoBut you can't compete with the rotten herring.
- CRConrad 4y agoThat's Swedish, not Dutch.
- fransje26 4y agoBelgium wins on the entire food front. By knockout.
- allendoerfer 4y agoDear neighbor, with all due respect to Belgium, you are underselling your country.
- skrebbel 4y agoAnd you yours!
- brnt 4y ago> nicer cops Until you actually need them. They'll do everything they can to get out from doing any work. Especially if you are foreign.
- mettamage 4y agoNot only when you're foreign. They have been useless so far in my life when I actually needed them
- brnt 4y agoSame here. But the way they just this week talked a foreign friend out of filing a PV is absolutely shameful. They fully abuse they fact that she doesn't know her rights that well and isn't as likely to push as a Dutch person might. Disgusting.
- hutzlibu 4y agoAh, but that is a common trope I think. Is there any state, where police is held in high regards (and shows competence?). My experience with police in germany was a time waste as well.
- ben_w 4y agoI certainly considered the Netherlands… «maar ik kan een beetje maar Nederlands spreken» and I'm not even sure I'm supposed to use "maar" twice in that sentence or not. (Sadly I don't even get to use the wonderful «Ik ben groot», because I'm only tall by non-Dutch standards).
- melvinmelih 4y ago> «maar ik kan een beetje maar Nederlands spreken» and I'm not even sure I'm supposed to use "maar" twice in that sentence or not. “maar” can both mean “but” or “only” but you have to use it like this: «maar ik kan maar een beetje Nederlands spreken» literally translated as: «but I only can speak a little Dutch». A native speaker would use it twice.
