Dutch Hospitality is Shockingly DIFFERENT! 🇳🇱

• Such things should be communicated in advance. I couldn't ever think of charging my guests anything, ever.

  • I was invited to a Danish birthday dinner, and had to pay for my dinner lol. For a German celebration dinner also, payed for my dinner. Both times I was surprised. If I knew maybe one of those times I wouldn't come because I was in a financially bad situation.

    In Croatia if we invite you out for a dinner to celebrate something or if you come to our house, you will not be allowed to pay for anything whatsoever. If you even try, Croatians will be super insulted.

    But this hospitality, or however one can give, is then expected back.

    What I experienced in Germany is that I always throw wild feasts for parties and always greet everyone with everything their heart can wish for, weather only for 1 friend or for 30, and when I come to them I have to bring everything I want to consume...

    Very difficult cultural crash. I felt used a few times.

  • @@umapumame as a German can only slightly relate. I would never ask people to pay me for a celebration I host, and also most people I know wouldn’t. Also I would never expect anyone to bring their own food/drink. I was raised this way. But maybe it can be a regional difference or just from my circle of people. Tho bringing something yourself voluntarily, that’s totally a thing here, I agree, especially at more „casual“ events. I think it is a nice gesture to the host as a little thank you for the invitation/hosting the event.

    Edit: if it works both ways, obviously. May I ask which German region you had the event?

  • ​@@elpresidente6553I lived in Germany and never anyone made me pay for food or drinks when I was invited. I mean invited in someone's house as a guest, if you go out with a group of friends I don't expect them to pay for me.

  • Sharing is caring. All pay

• Would the men ask for partial condom reimbursement? After all it's for the benefit of both.

  • No, the female should pay for it

  • Depends on the performance.

  • 😂, why is that a point of conversation?

  • Women should charge for vaginal rental 😂

  • ​@@Frivals sex diseases have no gender preferences

• Do they pay taxes afterwards? I guess such cases should be reported :) also, if they were provided food for guests, do they have a restaurant license and all necessary sanitary checks?

  • Are you from Germany? 💀

• The question is how they have asked for money before electronic money

  • Bingo. I want to understand the real implications of this mindset in their culture.

  • Probably rob, rape and plunder. No doubt the Dutch are the cheapest. Rumor has it, they perfected the Tikkie when they colonized, rape and plundered Indonesia, Suriname, etc for centuries

• Hold on I’m confused! They host a party and invite people to the party and then charge them? Did I get that right?

  • Welcome to Holland 😊

  • crazy, isn't it? I would be shookt. If I were the guest, I would still pay out of repect but I won't see them again. 😂 😂

  • No, nor did the video. 'I've heard....]

  • @@choosyduchess25 I was a new student and my new neighbour in my building invited me for pancakes , I thought great, that’s friendly, then after charged me lol, he was a nice guy but it seemed like such a small sum to ask for returned not worth asking. But it was the way so I just went with it.

  • @@hirsch4155 wow, just wow! I could never do that to a guest especially to a new neighbor.

• That is SO wrong. In Poland (and a lot of other countries I suppose) on parties there are always tables full of food, and people will demand from you to eat more and more

  • Then stay in where you are?

  • It is not wrong, its a cultural difference.... I used to think this way, payed for everything, but others send me a tikkie. Now I have spent hundreds to thousands of euros on friends and never got it back. You have to do it.

  • What is the point of invitation if the invitee have to pay? They can just eat somewhere else

  • ​@@ahmaddwikipradany2843And you come back to your homeland which is not Netherlands:) ,,Ahmad" is not dutch name😆🤣

  • ​@@ahmaddwikipradany2843go back to your homeland. Ahmad name sounds so "dutch" xD😂

• Charging someone you invited is almost as awful as tipping culture in the USA.

  • It’s worse. At least the clients in America know the deal and go willingly.

  • ​@@guodaripinskaite6314💯

  • It's a lot worse come on and I'm african european

  • @@cloudcampos4555 what's african-european? We don't have a term like in the usa.

  • @@nonamegirl9368 it doesn't really exist tbh haha french-Algerian to be more precise.

• This is insane! I'm from Greece and there's absolutely no time that someone, anyone, friend or stranger will step a foot in my house even for 5min and not treat them with something, either a sweet, a drink, coffee, even just water if they deny by politeness. I invite friends to my house or we gather there spontaneously and I feed/treat them. Quite many times, for breakfast, lunch, dinner. For no reason. Just for the company. And it feels so nice. I've learned hospitality. This is just crazy, demanding money. Unbelievable!

  • im bosnian and i think this is crazy too.

  • Yup, No doubt the Dutch are the cheapest. Rumor has it, they perfected the Tikkie when they colonized, rape and plundered Indonesia, Suriname, etc for centuries

• I believe this. I used to have a Dutch sports car. It would stop on a dime. Pick it up too. 😂😂😂

  • 😂😂😂

• Ah so that's how dutch word for splitting bills came😂

  • Going dutch lol
