First of all, I would finalize my travel with a little conclusion.
Actually, throw my trips in Netherlands, I have constated that this country and France are very different.
Indeed, things like food, weather are points that mark me when I discovered them.
But these things, that we can see at first sight are details comparing lessons you might learn if u take the time with netherlands people.
Despite all the good things that I saw doing sightseeing tour, things I learn from firemen, I would never forget values that netherlands people teached me.
That’s to say, thanks to daily contact with them, I realized important thing that I would have never realized if I hadn’t gone over there. .
For instance, when I was at my penpal's place, his friend came into the house and help hiself without asking, he took a tea and a cup in the cupboard – I remember being chocked because any French people would have dared to do that.
Netherlands people are very honest with each other, and God, you cannot imagine how it simplify things.
In France, if you don’t want to go at friends’ home you will look for an excuse whereas in Netherlands, you will simply tell that you don’t want to go today.
Moreover, they have a certain authenticity in their mentality: they know how to take the time to chill, or just to spend some time in family.
For exemple, lots of Netherlands family are still praying before lunch.
Comparing to Parisian life,
I think that Netherlands people’s mind is based on hopefulness, trust, honesty, and I’m glad to say that today, I know the real meaning of these words thanks to my trips.
