Thought this is a good read and a good laugh as well.

Some things is with a big wink ofcourse, but other things are very close to reality :P

If you have any questions/remarks about stereotypes, don't hesitate to ask.

Oh yeah, it would be nice if other nationalities post some strange habits and phenomenas too!

Great link, LMAO.
I experienced some of the items by myself, because I'm german and live in NL for 1,5 years. I especially liked item 9. Before I came there I didn't even know that "we" won in '74, this was of the first things I was told. I learned, that the easiest way to make a Nederlander angry is to affirm that we won because we were better!!
But they forgot one thing: Nederlanders always sing!! There is always at least one of my colleagues singing, humming or whistling songs all over the day, which is totally irritating sometimes.
But altogether I like dutchies a lot. :)

hehe very true. In 2000 I was in discussien with a German guy for like over an hour or something about how Holland could have lost from Italy in the semifinals. Well, I was drunk ofcourse (it was in my vacation) and I didn't know my German was that decent lol. Normally I stutter like hell when I must speak German or French, but that night I could go on for hours lol.
