In Czech, people were very touchy feely with their significant other. It was rare to not see a couple all over each other. Other people that are residents in Czech did not act as if that was out of the ordinary. In the Netherlands, couples are still affectionate but not as much. There are couples holding hands, kissing good-bye, etc. What they are doing is not as bold as in Czech. In the USA, couples are affectionate, it is just rare to see couples making out in the middle of a sidewalk waiting for a bus. Americans usually frown upon that behavior.
The clothing is also very different. In Czech, it was not uncommon to see ladies with see through tops or bottoms with their undergarments showing. Men also had very tight fighting clothes. In the Netherlands, they dress more like Americans. They are more covered up.
I agree it was weird to see couples so affectionate with each other and that the other people didn't care because that was a normal thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they do dress very similarly to us. A little better than us I think though. I don't think people here would wear sweatpants or pj bottoms to class.
