The Dutch Do It Differently...

We, as Americans, are finding the way the Dutch do things quite odd. Here is a list of things we have come up with so far.
1. Everything is in Military time (Good thing Aaron tought me, thanks babe!)
2. Everything closes at six during the week in Delft.

3. The phrase "Dutch Oven" means nothing here as the Dutch only have stovetops in their homes.
4. There is a switch to turn on our fridge. We, at first, thought it was our air conditioner. See below.

5. There are stalls with just sinks in them, rooms even, full of sinks. The idea of having a stall with just a sink is quite hilarious to us. No, I don't need privacy to wash my hands, thank you. There are toliets as well but in seperate rooms. They also don't have a handle to flush - just a button on the wall or on the top of the toliet.

6. Everyone rides bikes. Little girls and little boys ride bikes better than I do!

7. People park extremely close to canals without flinching.

8. Hygiene is not enforced. Some bathrooms do not have zeep (soap).

9. People here are very direct...there is no beating around the bush here.

10. People don't like it when you pet their dogs...who rarely have leashes on.
