| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Jacob: Besides the handshake and a kiss to thank people in the Netherlands, it's also a custom to send a card to someone's house. You can find them in all sorts of designs and with many kinds of popular quotes on them. So if you enjoyed a nice birthday party at a friend's house, why not send him or her a thank-you card the next day? |
