Let's compare! NL vs SA (part 1)

NL = the Netherlands SA= South-Africa

- In SA you can drink water from a little stream in a forest, in NL you will die, get sick, if not people will think you're crazy anyway
- DON'T put your degree on your business card in NL, they will think you are showing off, but please do in SA, so people will know you actually had an education
- In NL you obey all the rules, in SA just the ones you like
- Bribing a policeman in NL is stupid, in SA it's smart
- Don't expect crispy chips in SA, don't expect soggy ones in NL
- When a man says 'yes' in NL it is 'yes', when a guy says that in SA it can mean 'yes', change to a 'no', then to a 'yes' again and end up in a 'no'
- When women say 'yes' in NL and SA it means 'no'
- In SA there is a stunning view every 30 km, in NL there are none
- In NL it's summer for 5 weeks in year, in SA it's 5 months
- Get an expensive car in NL and people will frown upon you for showing off, in SA it's still showing off, but people think will you deserve it
