Hi Marie. Yes, absolutely. I believe that people who live in close quarters tend to covet their space, like New Yorkers. When I lived in the mid-west, where they live farther away from each other. People are always happy to see another person. So people are friendlier. Thanks, Marie!

Interesting about Dutch friendships or apparent lack of them. Besides the Calvinistic culture, do you think the lack of space (compared to the US) might have something to do with it? Living on top of each other (in our eyes), they might treasure the little space allowed them over “closeness”. We on the other hand, coming from a culture of “wide open spaces”, gladly cling to friends for comfort?

Speaking of friends, have known Don and Millie since coming to the internet about 12 years ago. Love ’em!
