Am American so yes

I had the same culture shock moving from outside DC to Amsterdam… Both cities are huge with lots of people and tourists. But in Amsterdam, it is so different. In DC, it always seemed like people were looking to start an argument. Here in Ams, you are lucky if the person walking past you looks up and makes eye contact 😂😅 Now they think I am the weird one because I greet folks as I pass (but its pretty international in the city so it really doesn’t shock anyone either)
