"Flemish people are punctual: if you have to do something at 9 o’clock, you do it at 9 o’clock."
"Always respect other people, no matter how different they are. If you do not do this, you
may hurt other people. This is a very sensitive issue. Discriminating against someone else
or harming them because they are different is punishable by law. It is forbidden to hurt
someone mentally or physically, including your partner or children."
"In Flanders, the law comes first, then religion. Always respect the law. Most Flemish people
consider religion as something personal. Everyone is free to choose his or her religion. It is
forbidden to impose a religion on others."
"Life in Flanders is expensive. In most families, both partners work to be able to pay
everything.
"Flemish people do not spend most of their time outdoors. They live mainly inside
their homes."
"Flemish people like peace and quiet. No noise is permitted after 10 pm."
"People do not just visit each other spontaneously. They usually make an appointment
first. They like their privacy."
"It is rare for married sons or daughters to live with their parents or parents-in-law.
Couples try to live separately as a family as soon as possible."
The two bolded ones strike me as problematic... the first is just weird, and the latter is downright stupid... if anything governments should be encouraging a longer period staying with parents giving the present strain of housing costs and unemployment/wage rates.
The unbolded ones seem legitimate advice to give to immigrants.
