Makanan. Kuliner Belanda lumayan enak tapi tidak spektakuler, menurut saya ya.
Kebiasaan mereka, sehari hanya satu kali makan yang panas. Makan siang berupa
sandwich, salad, dan kadang sup. Keluarga Londo asli yang masih tradisional dan
belum kena globalisasi, tiap hari makan malamnya adalah kentang rebus/pure
kentang, satu potong daging/ikan/ayam, seporsi sayur rebus dan saus.

Stamppot adalah hidangan tradisional Belanda yang terbuat dari kombinasi
mashed potatoes dengan satu atau beberapa sayuran lainnya, kadang-kadangjuga dengan daging.
Kadang saya sering ngeyel sama teman kantor yang maunya hanya masak
maksimal 30 menit untuk makan malam. Dan dia maunya makanan yang sehat pula,
bukan yang dihangatkan di microwae. Dia sering tak!ub kalau denger saya masak
tiap hari dan habis waktu lebih dari "# menit. $ah, setelah makan malam, Londo
ngemilnya paling kacang %Londo suka makan semua !enis kacang goreng, kacang
pedes seperti di &ndonesia itu, ha'elnuts, walnuts, almond, kacang mete(, keripik,
biskuit atau ke!u sambil ngopi atau minum wine.

)da nih cerita lucu tentang ini. &strinya adik ipar saya yang paling kecil Londo
banget..* +adahal bapaknya dia orang &talia, tapi &bunya membesarkan istri ipar saya
ini dengan cara Londo. Kalau ipar saya berulangtahun, ibu mertua saya bikin aneka
!a!anan &ndonesia lemper, risoles, pastel goreng, dsb. $ah, waktu itu kita udah
makan malam %erwtensoep a!a pakai baguette/roti +erancis(, ibu mertua saya mulaimemanaskan semua !a!anan. -hhibunya istri ipar saya bilang Kalian belum
kenyang1. 2ops. ampai sekarang pun kadang saya pergi ke pesta ulang tahun
orang &ndo yang pastinya menya!ikan makanan. Biasanya ada beberapa tamu
Belanda yang pamitan pulang sebelum makanan dihidangkan atau ada !uga yang
datang !am 4 malam setelah acara makan selesai.
2h ya, orang Belanda yang punya anak kecil rata5rata makan malamnya !am # sore*
+aling malam yaa sekitar !am 6 atau 6.30 malam. )nak saya memperhatikan selagi
liburan di -ropa, ada keluarga yang pesan makan lengkap !am # sore di restoran,
menurut dia keluarga ini pasti berasal dari Belanda /*( Masih tentang makanan, sekedar in7ormasi, keluarga Belanda yang pergi liburan
dengan mobil ke &talia, +erancis, panyol dan +ortugal biasanya membawa sendiri
bahan makanan sebagai berikut pindakaas %selai kacang(, ke!u, kopi bahkan
sampai kentang mentah pun ada yang bawa pula* Kira5kira bisa disandingkan
dengan orang &ndonesia yang tidak bisa lepas dari sambal dan nasi.
8idup sebagai imigran cinta di Belanda se!ak tahun 9::# gw pingin berbagi kebiasaan orang asli sini. iapa tahu
berguna buat kalian yang punya pacar orang Belanda dan rencana mau pindah kesini atau untuk yang cari pacar
bule Belanda. ;ada pan!ang !uga sih tapi gw ngga sreg motong cerita ini !adi dua. emoga betah ya bacanya

Going Dutch
&ni kebiasaan orang Belanda yang terkenal seantero dunia sampe ada ungkapan diatas dalam bahasa &nggris.
=oing Dutch artinya tiap orang di grup bayar sendiri5sendiri. =oing
Dutch ini bukan artinya pergi makan/minum berempat terus biayanya dibagi " plek ya seperti biasa di &ndonesia.
=oing Dutch ini ya bayar sesuai yang loe makan/minum. Di resto/ca7e di Belanda kalo ada grup mau bayar,
biasanya pelayan akan dateng ke me!a bawa rekening, kartu menu ? tas pingggang %isinya uang(. @iap orang
akan liat apa yang dia makan/minum, terus bilang kepelayan, bayar deh. Diulang terus sampe habis total biayanya
direkening. )tau bisa !uga si grup minta kartu menu, terus semua itung sendiri apa yang dia makan/minum, setor
ke yang kumpulin uang, baru panggil si pelayan. $ga7e bareng tapi loe harus pulang duluan dari yang lain Bisa
!uga ke kasir, bilang kita duduk dime!a yang mana, minum/makan apa. Kasir akan mengurangi konsumsi kita
dida7tar me!a kita duduk. @erus bayar deh, kontan atau pake kartu. Beres kan Mungkin risih ya kalo baru pertama
kali begini, cuma kalo udah biasa ya ok a!a. Malah lebih nyaman, daripada ngedumel di belakang.
Aoba bayangin, loe pergi nga7e bareng bertiga misalnya. Loe cuma minum cappuccino, temen loe berdua pesen
espresso plus cronuts yang ngehits ? mahal. ;ekening dateng, dibagi rata bertiga, dan loenya ya rada mikir cuma
minum 9 a!a kok bayarnya lebih. )h, kedengerannya pelit ya gw , tapi kalo gw disini !alan sama orang
&ndonesia ya ngga going Dutch lah, bagi rata semua. =w tahu dari temen5temen di &ndonesia yang sering dongkol
!uga kalo makan rame5rame. oalnya ada yang kadang a!i mumpung pesen ini itu. )tau ada yang bilang udah
setor uang dari apa yang dia makan tapi kok kurang !umlahnya. Kasian yang kebagian kumpulin uang untuk bayar.

Tepat waktu
Londo bangga banget tepat waktu. Dan memang mayoritas orang sini biasanya # menit sebelum !an!i udah

!an!i sama partner ker!a gw, takut dibilang lebay gw duduk bentar deh dibangku taman depan gedungnya dia.
@erlambat Masih bisa ditolerir sampe maksimal 90 menit. Disekolah anak gw kalo murid telat # menit masih boleh
masuk kelas tapi diberkasnya dia dicontreng dia itu telat. @elat 90 menit boleh masuk gedung sekolah, tunggu
diruang tunggu sambil ambil surat telat untuk dibawa buat mentor kelas ? orang tua. Boleh masuk kelasnya waktu
mata pela!aran kedua. ang telat lebih dari 90 menit ngga bisa masuk gedung sekolah karena gerbang sekolah
digembok* Makanya si = berangkat !am C."# tiap hari padahal sekolah mulai !am 4.30 dan dia hanya 9# menit naik
sepeda dari rumah kesekolahnya.
Cium pipi 3x
&ni seru !uga. Kebiasaan orang Belanda kalo ketemu cium pipi 3* Aium pipi ini bukan hanya untuk orang yang
lama ngga ketemu ya, !uga untuk mengucapkan selamat %ulang tahun, nikah, promosi kantor, natal, tahun baru( ?
menegur orang yang baru kenal %yang ini gw semakin males(.
e!ak E006 gw selalu ambil cuti antara natal dan tahun baru untuk menghindari resepsi tahun baru dikantor
%biasanya tanggal 3 F " Ganuari(. )bis gw males bo cium pipi 3 sama orang5orang sekantor yang ngga ker!a
bareng sama gw, atau yang ker!anya satu gedung. Diresepsi mereka akan giat cium pipi 3 kali tapi besoknya
papasan kaya ngga kenal. ensi kali gw ya. Auma gw memang sekarang cium pipi hanya ke kolega deket %sekitar
305an deh(, keluarga gw, temen ? kenalan deket. 2rang baru kenal cuma salaman a!a dan bilang Ik zoen niet1
%gw ngga cium(. Kalo ada yang cunihin mau nyosor a!a kaya angsa gw akan kakuin tangan gw dan bilang Pas

Netherlands Description
At the end of the last Ice Age, the"Low Countries,"now calledBelgium, Luxembourg and the
Netherlands were inhabited by scattered hunter-gather groups. 8,000 years later when the
Roman Empire was first coming to power, varied NorthernEuropeantribes had settled in,
including the Celts, Frisians and Saxons.
With little resistance, those Romans eventually conquered the Netherlands; building military
outposts and cities, including those at Maastricht and Ultrecht.
Over time, three distinct cultures formed and prospered here: the Franks in the
south, the Frisians along the coastlines and the Saxons in the east. By the mid 700's, most of
the people were converted to Christianity, and then, the Vikings arrived.
This mostly tranquil expanse of westernEuropewas first invaded in the early 9th century. The
overpowering Vikings removed the accumulated wealth, destroyed some settlements of note,
and remained in power until crushed at Ultrecht by a German king in 920. As a result, and
beginning with King Otto the Great,Germankings held sway here during the 10th and 11th
centuries.
Around 1100, coastal swamp lands (all frequently flooded) were being drained and cultivated by
the Frisians, farms were developed, towns quickly grew in influence and economic trade groups
(leagues) formed.
Repetitive and devastating flooding of the lowlands continued to occur, and over 120,000 people
(collectively) drowned in the All Saints Flood (1170), Noordholland Flood (1212), St. Marcellus
flood (1219), and the Zuider Zee seawall collapse in year 1287.

Regardless, regional port cities grew powerful, and some became (local) independent empires;
nobles and self-appointed rulers converted their own holdings into personal kingdoms, and into
that mix (almost predictably) neighbors battled neighbors, wars were fought for land control, and
then, a new opportunity presented itself.
With support from local (now tired of bickering) power brokers in the
Netherlands, the Flemish Duke of Burgandy (from France), almost by invitation, united allfactions; wars were ended and peace and prosperity followed. One of the by-products of that
unity was Dutch shipping, as its fleet grew into a consequential force in the 15th century,
with#mste/*amthe principal port.
Burgundian rule over the "Low Countries" ended in the early 16th century, mostly by conquest.
The Habsburg dynasty under Charles V gained control, but in short-order the lengthy struggle
for independence surfaced. In 1548, Charles V granted limited autonomy to seventeen
provinces ofBelgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
When Charles was succeeded by his son, Philip II, the Catholic King ofSpain, the new king was
outraged by Protestant influence in the "Low Countries," and tried to enforce the brutalCatholic
Inquisitionpolicies. Led by Prince William of Orange the locals promptly rebelled, and the
resultingEighty Years' Warfinally ended in 1648, with the Spanish expelled and independence
at hand.
Netherlands Description
The so-called Golden Age (1580 to 1740) brought great prestige and wealth as the Dutch East
India Company sent ships from#mste/*amacross the seven seas. A few Asian countries
were colonized, as well as islands in the Caribbean (the Netherlands Antilles), and even New
York City, calling it New Amsterdam.

Netherlands were on a roll. With new-found riches,#mste/*amexperienced a cultural
renaissance of its own, and flourished into a mecca (or center) of culture.
All good things must come to an end, and as the British Empire expanded its naval power, the
Dutch lost their long-held dominance of the sea. The economy soon stagnated, international
trade decreased, and at the end of the 18th century, though#mste/*am remained influential,
the top dog was now in London.
To make matters worse, the Netherlands publicly recognized America's struggle for
independence. Subsequently miffed,Britaindeclared war and it proved an economic disaster for
the provinces. Trouble often follows trouble, and in 1795 the French invaded and Napoleon
appointed his brother (Louis) king, and turned the Netherlands into the Kingdom of Holland.
TheFrenchoccupation of the Netherlands ended in 1813 after Napoleon was
defeated, a defeat in which William VI of Orange played a prominent role. He was crowned the
first King of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, a combination of Belgium, Holland and
Luxembourg. Like many alliances, this one was also short lived as Belgium declared
independence in 1830, followed by Luxembourg in 1890.
The Netherlands declared their neutrality during World War I, but in World War II the same
approach failed. Germany invaded with very little resistance, Rotterdam was bombed, the royal
family fled to theUnited Kingdom, and the persecution of the Jews began. Over 100,000 were
murdered, and one brave, young Jewish girl namedAnne Frankwould come to personify that
terrible time in human history.
In February of 1953, a huge storm caused the collapse of several dikes, and almost 2,000
drowned in the resulting tidal surges. So began the Delta Project, a project that included a huge

Today nearly 50% of the land here remains just above sea level. The massive and costly Delta
Project and other engineering marvels have to date prevented theNorth Seafrom doing any
significant (additional) damage. However, climate change and rising waters could prove daunting
to the Netherlands in the future.
In the 1960's and 1970's, social changes in drug policies,
environmental issues, euthanasia, religion, same-sex marriages and women's rights propelled
the country into a mecca of liberal ideology. The country was a founding member of NATO. It
also proudly joined the European Union (EU), and adopted the Euro in 1999.
Always waging war against rising water, there's an old Dutch saying, "God created the earth, but
the Dutch created the Netherlands." Well, the Dutch have also created a lasting legacy of art,
personal determination, and some of the most familiar icons of our modern world.

Nethe/lan*s Flag)
The Netherlands flag was officially adopted on February 19, 1937. At one time this tricolor flag
was orange, white and blue, as those were the livery colors of William of Orange, a Dutch
prince. In the 17th century, red replaced the orange as a flag color, because the orange dyeused on the flag was unstable, and turned red after exposure to the sun.
