What are the customs and traditions of the Netherlands?

A brief introduction to the customs of the Netherlands:

Dutch people usually introduce themselves by their first name when they introduce themselves by their last name, especially in formal situations such as business.

The Dutch have a special way of greeting friends when they meet, which is to kiss each other three times on the cheek, regardless of gender.

When talking with the Dutch people should pay attention to keep the distance, do not rely on too close, more to avoid physical contact.

It is customary for the Dutch to write down all their activities and schedules on a notepad.

The Dutch usually speak with the word "please" and "thank you".

The Dutch generally stick to their word, although they are not without their liars. But relatively speaking, they generally keep their word and believe what they are told, sometimes not realizing that they are actually joking and making a mistake.

When giving gifts, they are always wrapped in brightly colored wrapping paper. No matter how small or light the gift is, the shell is either simple and elegant, or elegant. The person who gets the gift has to open it in front of the other person and then appreciate it as a sign of gratitude and respect.

When you go to a Dutch home to visit, you should prepare some small gifts, a bouquet of beautiful flowers, a box of delicious chocolates, or a bottle of wine will be a welcome gift. Don't give expensive gifts.

When you are a guest in a Dutch home, or talking to a Dutch person in general, be aware that interrupting is considered rude, and may not always be considered a sign of attention.

The Dutch don't use much body language when they talk, and they don't move their bodies much when they sit down on the sofa. It's not because of any constraints or a lack of conversation, it's just habit.

The Dutch like to pay their own way when they go out to eat. The English phrase "Go Dutch", which has become the international term for "pay your own way", is a result of this Dutch custom.

When the Dutch enter and leave a small store, they usually greet the shopkeeper. In any case, it is important to acknowledge the presence of the shopkeeper with at least a glance.
