    What’s the Netherlands like, I’ve always wanted to visit. Being depressed in a new place is always exciting lol.

      It’s incredibly small. Highly developed urban areas, great cycling infrastructure, better trains than Germany, mild climate year-round, some parks and the rest of the country houses the highest concentrations of cows, pigs and chickens.

      Housing prices are even worse than the rest of Europe, income tax is high, cost of living is high, but still worth it for many people due to good work-life balance, child-focused education, good infrastructure, mild climate and basically almost Scandinavian culture, but with more sunlight.

      We can be quite closed off and hard to get in touch with, and even rude. I usually tell Anglo-Saxons that we may seem autistic compared to their social norms.
