People from countries within, as well as outside of Europe. And I must say that \u2013 despite the attempts of the EU to turn the various member states into one melting-pot, I am happy with the large differences in culture, language and traditions of the various countries. The diversity of nationalities is what makes running a B&amp;B so very interesting.<!--more-->During the past years, I have had many fun and special experiences with guests from abroad. My Swedish guests for example, offered me whisky. Just after breakfast! Each nation has its own curiosities:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The French find our petit dejeuner quite extensive but do prefer French cheese over our Dutch ones.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The British usually leave God\u2019s Blessings behind in the guest book.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Austrians forward self-made Christmas cards.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Belgians really like Holland, but not its inhabitants.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Italians are suspicious of our Italian restaurants but are very enthusiastic about recommended addresses.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Romanian families do not leave without a big hug.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>German guests<br \/>\n<\/strong>There is one country that I absolutely must mention and that is Germany. Because, &#8211; exceptions excluded, I am very fond of my German guests. Even during the World Cup in 2010, the relations between me and my German guests remained warm. In general I find German people to be spontaneous, affectionate, honest, clean, realistic, enthusiastic, well informed, cheerful and utterly reliable. And that deserves to be said!! And so I say a heart-felt: \u2018Herzlich willkommen\u2019.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_3291\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/bed-and-breakfast\/the-hague\/bb-at-the-beach\/13\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3291\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3291 \" title=\"Bed en breakfast At the Beach\" alt=\"Bed en breakfast At the Beach in Den Haag\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.nl\/blog\/eigenaren\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/atthebeach.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bed &amp; Breakfast At The Beach in The Hague.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>Ina Flohil is the owner of <a title=\"B&amp;B At the Beach\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bedandbreakfast.eu\/bed-and-breakfast\/the-hague\/bb-at-the-beach\/13\" target=\"_blank\">B&amp;B at the Beach in The Hague<\/a> in the Dutch town of The Hague.
