The funniest story I heard about cultural differences is the clash of Irish and NL cultures.
A young Irish university student just arrived to his new apartment in NL for exchange.
Shortly after settling into his apartment, a Dutch woman knocked on his door.
She said “Hello, you must be new here. I want to let you know that we are having a party today.”
Excited about a potential party, he replied, “wow great! What time does it start? And can I bring something?”.
Dutch woman gives him a stare and raised eyebrow, “No, you are not invited. I just wanted to let you know there will be a party. If it is too loud please let us know.”
And that was how this young Irish man was introduced to the famous Dutch culture.
