1. Your “Length”
If you are non- Dutch and visiting a doctor at Amsterdam, don’t be too surprised or offended if you hear him asking “What’s your length?” (he’s just asking about your height) or when he asks “are you sober?” during a blood test coz he’s just trying to know if you’ve fasted for the past 12 hours. It’s also kind of ‘disorientingly cute’ that Dutch people call prescriptions as “recipe”.
