I also looked at options to travel and study\/stay in other countries as well, but the option of the Netherlands during COVID time seemed more appealing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Did you suffer from culture shock?<br \/><\/b>Of course, there are many differences between my homeland and the Netherlands. Some of them can be found below in this list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where I come from, we usually have lunch after 3 p.m. and usually the food is cooked the same day. Dinner is also served later at 9 p.m. and not at 5 p.m., as usual in the Netherlands. There is no option to have a sandwich for lunch, however, we usually prefer to eat a sandwich earlier than our lunch at 10 a.m.<\/li>\n<li>When we use the bus in Greece, we usually don&#8217;t thank the bus driver. Here I see a lot of people saying &#8220;thanks!&#8221; before getting out. I think this is a very nice custom of Dutch culture. It should also be mentioned that the punctuality of transportation is unparalleled and amazing in this country!<\/li>\n<li>The Dutch generally prefer to be direct, but I do feel that sometimes they do not take into account the feelings of their interlocutor. More and more I see people from southern Europe conveying the same message in a different way, just with different wording, and still keeping the connection with their discussant intact. Perhaps there is room for improvement in this area!<\/li>\n<li>The Dutch really love their bikes! I was amazed that they cycled everywhere with me, even to weddings! In Greece, and especially in downtown Athens, cycling can make you limp through heavy traffic!<\/li>\n<li>The health care system is different and it can seem confusing to an expat. Going directly to a doctor is not an option here. In Greece, going directly to the doctor is something that can be done the same day, without requiring a referral from a general practitioner.<\/li>\n<li>King&#8217;s Day! That&#8217;s another cultural difference. In my country, we don&#8217;t have a similar celebration. But Dutch people love this day, and there are music venues in every city! It&#8217;s a happy and festive day for everyone!<\/li>\n<li>Ticks everywhere! In NL, you can receive an invoice for payment after a party. In Greece, if you are invited to a party, usually everything is covered by the owner of the party (otherwise you know from the beginning that there is a payment to be made).<\/li>\n<li>Conversations about mental health! Here I feel that taking care of your mental health is something that is promoted and supported by a large majority of people. I am very happy with this approach on this issue, and I hope that Greece will be similarly open on this issue in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33139ca3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"33139ca3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c37a0f1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2c37a0f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_translateX_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateX_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;motion_fx_translateX_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-389d6122 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"389d6122\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8221;I would suggest that you be open to making <br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #00c85a;\">both international and Dutch friends,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>and don&#8217;t just stick to your compatriots.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42826591 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"42826591\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateX_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateX_direction&quot;:&quot;negative&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_translateX_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;motion_fx_translateX_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}},&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-490da9ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"490da9ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Are there any differences from the work you&#8217;ve done in other countries and here?  <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you work extra hours in the Netherlands, you get paid for them.<\/li>\n<li>Only 8 hours of work is possible here.
