The first book to offer an in depth look at hidden Holland and the fascinating people that live there, Why the Dutch are Different is an entertaining book about a country unlike any other. The Netherlands are a tiny nation that punch above their weight on the world stage, where prostitutes are entitled to sick pay and prisons are closing due to lack of demand. After a chance encounter, Ben Coates left behind life in London to move to the Netherlands, where he learned the language, worked for Dutch company and married a Dutch wife. He takes readers into the heart of his adopted country, going beyond the usual tourist attractions and cliches to explore what it is that makes the Dutch the Dutch, Holland not the Netherlands and the colour orange so important. A travelogue, a history and a personal account of a changing country - Ben Coates tells the tale of an Englishman who went Dutch and liked it.

評分瞭解一下荷蘭的曆史和風土人情~很不錯的書~
評分寫得很輕鬆詼諧,內容很豐富,作者看瞭大量的資料。作為足球盲,中間寫足球的那段我竟然看懂瞭,終於明白瞭剋魯伊夫的偉大和全攻全守的神奇。有人建議我找本類似的書瞭解下一站,我想應該很少有國傢的人總是這麼輕鬆歡樂吧,即便能找到類似的書也不會這麼輕鬆幽默。謹以此書獻給我即將結束的荷蘭生活吧
