What Dutch immigrants must know: the taboos of Dutch life

For business activities in Holland, you should wear a conservative suit. Both public and private units must sign a contract before visiting.

Dutch businessmen love traveling very much, so they must make an appointment before going to Holland. Although not as fond of shaking hands as French and German businessmen, the Dutch are more formal and conservative. So remember to come up with your negotiation terms directly, so as not to lose business.

Dutch businessmen like to entertain each other and often have a big breakfast. They have tea breaks in the morning 10, a big meal at noon, tea breaks at 4 pm, dinner at 7 pm and snacks before going to bed. So, remember to bring stomach medicine. If the Dutch invite you to his house, most of them just buy you a few drinks and then go out to eat in a restaurant. Remember to bring flowers to his wife-it must be odd, five or seven, and be polite to other wives.

Many Dutch intellectuals know a lot about China's traditional culture (Sinology), so we might as well have such a topic.

Dutch people are used to eating western food, but they are also interested in Chinese food. Dutch people are very particular about pouring coffee, and they can only pour two-thirds of the cup. It is impolite to fill in, and it is considered to be ill-bred. The way to get along is not to pay taxes.

When going up the stairs, the man is in front. Generally speaking, men and women climb stairs, with women in front and men behind, but the Netherlands is the opposite. March-May and September-165438+1October are the most suitable time to go. In June, July and August, the Dutch go on holiday.

Dutch taxi drivers don't accept tips. Dutch furniture and interior decoration are world-famous, so Dutch people like to be praised for their furniture, artworks, carpets and household items.

Avoid talking about American politics, money and prices. Hot topics include politics, tourism and sports. Dutch people have a strong sense of time and are punctual.
