The Dutch Way - My article featured in Lonely Planet!

Yipeeee, yes I am happy to say this (and I am sorry that I can not just hide my emotions and be a little more modest) that my article "The Dutch Way" got featured on the home page of Lonely Planet - the world's largest travel guide book and digital media publisher in the world - in the last week of March! Check out one of the snapshots above and check the article on the Lonely Planet website titled "What are the Dutch really like!"

Some excerpts :

"Having spent the last 1.4 years here in expatriation, I have come across many of the traits from the Dutch character set - some apparent, some needing an observing eye.

• The Dutch like to practice their English. As soon as you start off in your broken Dutch, they start speaking to you in English.

• The Dutch lifestyle is regulated by diaries. It is probably the single most popular gift on the new year!! Everything is jotted down religiously in the diaries from meetings to leisure time."
