What kind of flexibility are you looking for exactly? And what do you mean with they are too serious?
I come from a country that I’d describe as unpredictable and chaotic, I know some people think that is exciting, but I found it stressful. You need to be resilient and flexible to thrive.
When I first came to live here 4 years ago, I really appreciated the relative predictability and stability of things (relative to where I came from). Despite many things following a schedule, I don’t feel rushed.
As for openness and acceptance of other cultures, I’d say they’re fairly open here, and you can freely practice your culture as long as you don’t force it on others and you don’t insist that the government make laws based on your beliefs, especially if they go against the values of the society you moved to.
I like that same sex unions, abortion and euthanasia are legal in the country where I’m now residing. I like that I can go to the beach topless and nobody will make a fuss about it. I like that I can speak in whatever language in I want in public and not be yelled at to “Speak Dutch” or “Go back where you’re from.”
I appreciate the stability and the predictability because it allows for more free time to spend with family and friends, to engage in hobbies, to travel.
