"In Hollander seit mear as er wit, in Fries minder."
A Hollander (referring to the provinces of North and South Holland) say more than they know, a Fries says less than they know. It packs a lot of cultural information. Hollanders are extrovert, Fries are very introvert.

Half-drunk is money wasted.
Personally, I'm part of neither group, culturally. I'm a "Brabo" (province of Brabant). It's kind of like the Texas of the Netherlands.
Obviously, every country has a lot of cultural diversity, dialects, and so on. The funny thing about the Netherlands is that it's packed in such a tiny space. When traveling by car, they say you encounter a new culture every 10 minutes. Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
