The ducth are very keen to save even a small cent as the natural business people they are and always have been. In addition they are extremely driven, stressed and above all; very loud. I never really understood why Maharishi would settle in Holland but my guess is that they needed it more than any european nation, Belgium excluded. I never enjoyed going to Roermond or even Vlodrop town for this reason, very hard people. In Sweden they have a saying; always count your fingers after having shaken hands with a dutch person ;-)
