Japanese culture (not the work culture though) and Dutch infrastructure - a match made in heaven IMO. I really would like to experience what living in a NT society would look like. Communication would be an interesting experience though
No idea what current norms would have been influenced or shaped by NTs
What about Dutch infrastructure speaks to you? I'm not very familiar about things outside of burgerland
A few off the top of my head...
The general small/livable scale of things, although this is more of a european thing IMO
The continuous footways that separate busier roads from residential roads, encouraging drivers to be a bit more considerate of pedestrians. Some other countries try to copy these but most don't get the balance quite right
The canals everywhere in the cities look really nice, although this is less of an infrastructure thing I think
Suburban areas with nice small roads (woonerven and fietsstraten IIRC?), giving a more homey feel, discouraging speeding and rat-running while still allowing people who need cars to have one
Extremely well connected bike path network, usually with enough parking to match
Appropriate road sizes, sometimes separating the direction of travel with green space & trees so it looks inviting and natural, and kinda self-regulates driving speed
A lot of design cues in general that aim to keep road users safe, whether on foot/bike or in car
Oh that stuff absolutely is getting left behind.
I was more interested in the percieved respect, honesty, integrity (e.g. people not nicking your stuff if you drop something somewhere), generally friendly attitudes, tech innovation, appliance design etc.
Yepp, that is true! Nowhere is perfect, and it's easy to accidentally romanticise a culture especially if it's fresh and different to what you're used to
