    Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

    Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

    Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

    Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

    • sequence number of the test
    • temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
    • method of ice cube creation
    • volume of the ice cube
    • volume of water/ice mixture
    • depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
    • type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
    • did the ice cube sink
    • if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

    please also share your conclusion.

    Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

    German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.

    The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

    Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!
