If this is remarkable or not depends onw hat you assume the relations between the dutch and the Germans to be. I was often told that many Dutch still have ressenbtiments against the Germans and have not forgiven them, but I must say the Dutch people I met or have talked to in my life were all missing this "feature", and in fact made friendly partners for talking. Even the "hostility" between Dutch and German football fans is - for the most - not to be taken serious: you often can see Germans and Dutch celebrating together after the match between both national teams, no matter who won.

Probably a generation issue. The younger people are, the more relaxed they seem to deal with each other.

Just the language sounds terrible

.

The German language, aye.

A poll today told us even people above 65 have no longer resentment to our neighbours.
But uhhh, die manshaft is scheisse.

@Fish
We would have given the bikes back, that we once have stolen.
But we can't find the keys (for the bike lock).
Sorry.
