What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Groningen?

"In Groningen, it's considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking. It's also important to respect the Dutch value of punctuality, so try not to be late for appointments or meetings. Avoid discussing personal wealth or income, as this is seen as boastful and inappropriate. The Dutch are known for their directness, so don't take it personally if someone is blunt with you. However, avoid being overly familiar or touchy-feely, as personal space is highly valued. It's also considered impolite to refuse food or drink when offered by a host. Lastly, remember to always say please and thank you, as good manners are appreciated," wrote a member who made the move to Groningen, The Netherlands.
