Same with the Dutch and Belgians. The countries are so small and families rarely move very far from each other. This makes it very hard as an outsider to break into friendship circles as often they've known each other since pre-schoo

I’ve worked in numerous international companies and English has always been the official internal company language. Whilst living in NL several companies were going through the long process of translating all their internal documents, alth

Due to my car having good acceleration I spend less time on the opposite lane during overtaking. This is safer for those in my car, the vehicle/object I'm overtaking and the traffic from the other direction. It's a win-win-w

Government may get more revenue but the individual politicians get influenced through financial means provided by the companies stealing the wages. Corporates want their pound of flesh for lobbying expenses.
