Charisma, the dutch are the friendliest and most open-minded people in the world. At least that is what they think of themselves.

Seriously, I think the Dutch are quite a bit different than Swedes or Norwegians in that they don\'t have this scandinavian type of closedness.

Try Amsterdam for a while, damn those people really suck! I\'ve worked in the center of the city for nearly three years and I really saw people closing up. A friend (girl) of mine - who came back to Amsterdam after staying 10 years in the US - asked me: \"What the hell happened here? Americans have the universal prejudice of acting shallow (what\'s a hoax by the way), but boy has Amsterdam changed!\"
