The UnDutchables takes an in-depth humorous look at Dutch life, quirks and character. With subjects varying from coffee drinking habits to child rearing, from bargain hunting to food, and from train travel to the Dutch 'water closet', it is considered by many foreigners and expats to be a survival guide for living in the Netherlands. This book also includes tips on learning the Dutch language, including appendices on Dutch idioms, expressions, and homonyms.

The 9.0 edition has undergone a thorough editorial revision to catch up with the major developments of Dutch society since the previous edition appeared 6 years ago. This edition has been updated with new illustrations and photos, for a fresh and contemporary look.
