I kinda prefer it like that, but I can undestand that if you are used to niceties and smiles the Netherlands can be a bit of hostile place. Pleasantries just aren't apreciated here all that much, best advice ever should you revisitedI still laugh when I think of the dirty looks I used to get when I didn't have the correct change for something in Holland. My Dutch was pretty woeful (non existant now), and I pretended I didn't speak any just to let them swear, thinking I didn't know what they were saying.
