Introduction to Dutch Culture and Society

1. My Impression of Netherlands
After my graduate from high school, I made a decision of continuing my further education in Europe with a personal reason of my adoration of European culture. Among all other European countries, I selected Netherlands as my destination in the end.
There were plenty of reasons of my decision. First and the most important, I should think of my aunt’s long staying in Netherlands. She came to Netherlands twelve years ago with her family, it is her second hometown. Actually, I got all my first impression on this country through her.
From her speaking of Netherlands, I grew up a big expectation of this country. It is a small country with trees, rivers, flowers everywhere, a country without discrimination against poor and different races, a country with least inequality and most liberality. You can see a big farm starting up before you while you are driving on the railway, you can enjoy hundreds of thousands of different flowers in different seasons. It is a peace land with nice and friendly people, an active nation with name of ‘motherland of football’, a lovely piece of land with fantastic scene of tulips and windmill.
So, basically, with other knowledge of this country, I outlined Netherlands as a beautiful rural landscape. I thought it more like a countryside country where people live a relaxing and easy life filling with happiness.
Then, more information about this country impacted on my original feeling of it. The legality of drugs and erotic services is the most confusing and unacceptable thing to me. The

    When Bill Bryson went on a trip to Luxembourg he was surprised by the difference in culture. Everything was different for him, far more than he had imagined it would be. From the food, to the language, to the types of clothes people wore. He wrote this section to inform the people back home about how different Europe was from New York and, possibly, to gloat about his world travels.…

    So this paper is going to be about happiness and how I personally feel about it. I liked Switzerland and its utopian lifestyle. In Bhutan, it is required for one to be happy. I would like to live in Qatar, I find their luxurious lifestyle to be tempting, but I am afraid if I go there, I would lose my sense of self. Iceland is too cold, and I do not agree with their try, try, fail, and that are ok stich. Without success, one cannot have the drive to move forward and to preform actions that are productive. What goes along with that success is money, recognition, and self-pride. Moldova needs to get itself together; it is to blame for their funk. Their poor me routine annoys me so much; I will most likely not mention it in my essay. Thailand, I like their vibe of not sweating the small stuff, not so crazy about their tendency to let it reach a point where the cut of one another’s penises off. Not cool. Great Britain needs stop being so uptight. I am not a fan of any of their ways, so I’ll probably ignore them or use them as an example of what not to be. India, just finished that chapter, it seems like it has a lot of air pollution, but they seem like a fun bunch of people. Even the most destitute look forward to better days in their next life. I haven’t read about American yet.…

    The essay on His Race for Race was a very descriptive essay. The essay spoke on the color of Barack Obama which showed the racial barriers he went through today as our president. Obama is very good with speeches and debates he mastered that from his days on the Harvard Debate Team. One point in the 2008 presidential campaign a white lady showed a racial stereotype due to ignorance by saying “she isn’t voting for Obama because he was Arabian.” Obama comes from a very large diverse family and culture.…
