I was born and raised in The Netherlands and lived there till i was 40. But i have been living abroad now for many years in different places in the world. I can tell you that the picture Dutch people have of themselves doesn't make sense at all! I worked in the tourist industry before and in our shop we had a good mix of people from all over the world. It was always easy to pick out Dutch people from a crowd , They seem to be happy , loud , straightforward (often a bit rude without realising it) anything but shy ore boring let alone "flat". Sometimes they are a bit negative about coming from Holland.......in the first five minutes that is. After that they can tell you a lot about how good it is with being Dutch as an alternative to the rest of the world. Is there any people in the world who can celebrate sports events so big as Dutch people covered in orange? People from all over the world enjoy this and envy them for being so enthusiastic end warm.

(or will the same people who earned a great deal of money say that their bright spirits are needed for the setting of a new course in these uncertain waters in which they accidentally are sailing so they will still need a high income) The Balkenende norm should have been introduced and implmented much earlier in both sectors.
