"In Renesse, it's important to avoid being late for appointments or meetings as punctuality is highly valued. It's also considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking, so try to wait your turn in conversations. Don't discuss personal matters such as income or religion with people you've just met, as the Dutch value their privacy. Avoid being overly loud or boisterous in public places, as this can be seen as disrespectful. It's also considered impolite to not greet shopkeepers or service staff when entering or leaving a place of business. Lastly, the Dutch are known for their directness, so don't take it personally if they seem blunt or straightforward," remarked another expat who made the move to Renesse, The Netherlands.
