CultureShock! Belgium is the definitive guide for anyone who wants to settle seamlessly into the country famous for its chocolates, mussels, frites, waffles, and beer. Though linguist differences have divided the land into distinct regions, it is these same differences that have given Belgium much of its cultural diversity and its multi-faceted society. This book will provide you with much-needed knowledge about the three languages—Walloon, Flemish, and French—and show you the importance of knowing which one you should speak in which region of the country. But that is not all. Glean all the practical tips and advice that will make settling in a breeze plus other information such as how to socialize with Belgians. Learn more about the priorité à droite rule and what you should do if you are made Bob for the night or if a Gilles de Binche with tarantula headgear throws oranges at you. CultureShock! Belgium is the only guide you will need to understand Belgium and its people as well as fully enjoy your life in this delightful country.

What are the most salient and sparking facts about the Netherlands? This updated edition of 'Discovering the Dutch' tackles the heart of the question of Dutch identity through a number of essential themes that span the culture, history and society of the Netherlands. Running the gamut from the Randstad to the Dutch Golden Age, from William of Orange to Anne Frank, this volume uses a series of vignettes written by academic experts in their fields to address historical and contemporary topics such as immigration, tolerance, and the struggle against water, as well as issues of culture - painting, literature, architecture, and design among them. All chapters are written by academic experts in their fields who have extensive experience in explaining the many features of "Dutchness" to a foreign audience. Each chapter comes to life in vignettes that illustrate characteristic historical figures or essential aspects in Dutch culture and society from William of Orange and Anne Frank to Dutch cheese and the inevitable coffeeshop.

A entertaining account of a two-years in the Netherlands that doubles as an insightful guide to moving country "It is not 'a piece of cake' to move to another country, but - though undoubtedly culture shock struck many a time - Norean approached her new home with openness and enthusiasm and put the same dedication she had previously put into her career...into making herself at home in the Netherlands. Her adventures are an entertaining and enlightening read. So, if you are wondering where to start, we suggest you pick up this little book and find out that with a real-life husband, family and household, life in a new country might be a challenge, but also an adventure - that will leave you changed forever, but also more complete."--The Xpat Journal (Netherlands) An overachiever, Norean was a woman trying to sustain the modern woman's American dream - to have a career, be a wife and mother, and somehow remain sane. Then, unexpectedly, her husband was offered an overseas assignment.... Living with the Dutch is part memoir, part guide to the culture and people of The Netherlands, part advice to anyone contemplating moving country with a family. This book is a charming account of Norean's travels and experiences during her two-year stay in The Hague, and chronicles her personal growth as she gains a new perspective on life. The reader follows her family from the chaotic move overseas, to surviving Dutch neighbors, weather, traffic, cooking and much more!
