How to make friends in the Netherlands

We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals and other expats) when you're living in the Netherlands :top:

Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in the Netherlands??

Thanks in advance for your participation

In general the best way to make friends starts in the workplace. Ask a co-worker to go out for a beer or go to a bar yourself.
Although the Dutch won't usually admit it, they are very proud of their country. If you show a true interest in Holland and it's ways people will open up quickly and go to great lengths to make sure you feel at home in Holland.
What you shouldn't do is compare everything openly against the country you came from. At least not in a negative way.
