A comprehensive view of food, clothing, housing and transportation after emigrating to Holland

In the Netherlands, as a whole, its temperature belongs to the Netherlands, which is a phenomenon that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The average temperature is 2-3℃ in January and 18-19℃ in July. Winter is cold and long, and summer time is short, so it is advisable to carry clothes mainly in autumn and winter. Here are five aspects to introduce how life is in the Netherlands.

Accommodation: The tourism industry in the Netherlands is developed, and hotels of different grades are spread all over the country. No matter how much money you have, you can find a hotel that suits you. The rents in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht are relatively expensive, but there are many first-class institutions here.

Diet: Dutch people have a rich breakfast, including bread, butter, cheese, milk, yogurt, ham, eggs, orange juice and coffee. Lunch is similar to breakfast, but with soup or snacks; 15:-16: is tea time; Dinner is the most formal of the three meals, usually with meat and vegetables cooked together, plus a hot potato meal.

Dutch cuisine is usually advertised as "mother's taste", such as green bean thick soup, red pudding, mashed potatoes, smoked cabbage, herring, pancakes, kidney beans and fried bacon.

Shopping: The price of meat in the Netherlands is similar to that in China. Two Jin of meat is enough for a week, and it doesn't cost much. In particular, the Dutch like to eat large or neat meat, and scattered or small pieces are sold very cheaply. Milk is even cheaper and of good quality than domestic milk, so you can drink more. Vegetables and fruits are more expensive, almost the same as meat.

It's a great deal to buy clothes in Holland. Our common brands, such as Nike,Esprit,Only, are similar to domestic prices, and they are European versions, with new styles and frequent discounts. I believe many students studying abroad (Weibo) will miss the feeling of "shopping" for clothes here. The price of ordinary cosmetics is the same as that in China, and the expensive ones are towels, toothbrushes, washing powder and so on. So, you don't have to bring cosmetics all the way here. It is suggested that students who wear glasses have a spare pair of glasses, because it is very expensive to wear glasses in the Netherlands, even up to 1 times that in China.

Travel: The Netherlands stipulates that you can have a driver's license if you are over 18 years old. People don't stop taxis on the road at will, but get on the bus at the designated taxi stand or at the gate of the hotel, or make an appointment by telephone in advance. If you want to tip a taxi driver or restaurant waiter, give 1%-15% of the consumption. Bicycle lanes in Holland are well planned. Small shops that rent bicycles can be seen everywhere, and it costs 1 euros a day. According to government regulations, bicycles must have: 1. Front and rear lights; 2. Rear reflector; 3. Wheel reflective strip. Otherwise, you will be fined if you are found by the police. I suggest you be a law-abiding person.

Making friends: The Dutch are straightforward and lovely, so get used to being straight with them. Our oriental implicature may cause misunderstanding. If you have any needs or dissatisfaction, please raise them in time, so that they can be solved as soon as possible. When eating and traveling together, even if you are friends, you must remember the "AA system". The Dutch like it very much, and cafes are the most popular places for local people. Log decoration and cigarette blackened walls are a major feature of the coffee shop.
