can you name one difference between America and the Netherlands?

i noticed that Dutch people open their windows when it is cold outside to let fresh air in, this was too cold for me to handle!! there is also a man named "Blacke Pete" for christmas too, right?

One big difference that I notice about the Netherlands is that so much of your country is below sea level; even so, the Netherlands very rarely has disasterous floods. I think that the reason for this is that your country has very good experts on preventing floods. we need some of your experts to come over here and help design new levies for New Orleans so that New Orleans will not have another terrible flood.

um some houses are different. its just the way whoever designed it. not all houses are designed the same. so some of them have hallways n things b4 i enter the living room in amercia too. i dont think thats a valid comparison. but i got one. america is more west than the netherlands! hhahaha

Well if we r simply pointing out the differences there are so many. 1. The culture 2. The language 3. Most Imp You people can trace ur history to circa 2000 b.c whereas Americans In that field can only be considered as an Upstart. 4. The traffic of ships in Rotterdam and Amsterdam is Simply unmatched. 5. You People were ,If I,m mot much mistaken were one of the first sea - faring people. 6. Not to mention your football team and the legends you people have produced in this royal game what with Cryuff and Gullit and Van Bastan

cause im from dublin some of our traditions have different names too.we do have holloween .when the kids knock they say trick or treat.i think what they say at the door varies in different countries.

Gosh even the spelling is differnt.....................................America is richer.. Its more cosmopolitan.................And has by far the strongest defence army..

I dont know!! One starts with the letter A and the other the letter N. Thats a difference I guess.

maybe they have a different language

sorry i dont know much about holland either but I would love to visit one day :)

well i don't exactly..as don't go anywhere.nither in holland nor america.but i think they can distinguish by 1. currency.. 2. official language and many more... i can't remember at this time!!!

As far as I know your beautiful country the Netherlands is several meters below sea level than the United States. That makes a pretty good difference.

As far as I know, your pretty country the Netherlands is several meters below sea level compared to the USA..

it's a trivial difference but in America we have the Atlantic Ocean on the right, you have it on the left.

Hey, are you referring to the American culture between Netherland Culture or you are referring to America itself as a place? One for sure is America is a large country compared to Netherlands and a different culture too i guess. I've never been to Netherlands, do you have the same lifestyle with the Amish community?

I love hollad,i have been many times there...its one of the best countries in all the world...but i have never been in america:)so i cant answer to your question

My husband is from Holland. He tells me how different the lifestyle is here. The towns are smaller there. You can ride your bike to a store and do your shopping. He tells me about how wonderful the outdoor market is. We have them here, but not in the town in which we live. They call ours flea markets. They don't sell as many things as the markets in Holland.

I am from Sri Lanka and the main difference between America and Netherlands is the in Netherlands there is a good part of the country below sea level. But in America every part of the country is above sea level (correct me if I am wrong). The other difference is we have people from Netherlands who are permanent citizens here for centuries, we call them Burghers. They are beutiful people. The girls are so pretty and the men are also handsome. But we don't have Americans. They never came here. In fact our coutry was ruled by Holland for some time. We even have a song called "Purutu Greesi Karaya, Rataval Allana Sooraya...". (The Hollanders are clever at conquering countries). Then we have songs infulense by Hollanders. We call them Baila, or Kafferingna. Some Sinhala words are also from Holland, Kuruse is cross and Konthe is rosary.

i have seen holland its very beautifull and heard bout the people that they are really nice and helping not like the americans they really have white blood most of them do have as i m tellin with my personal experience this would be the major differnce between u and americans, i think its very easy to visit ur country than america they have a hell of restrictions, moreover i really don want 2 visit america.

the people is really different at how they feal and act.

asset is difference between us and netharlands . in america more people are indians .but it's not to stay on nethar lands. so based on these people develop the country.
