Starting from a water proof jacket, it is really welcome and a water proof shoes as well. Then we can wear them up and go to the duines. Until beginning Nov. I was enjoying going to kennemerland duines, and schoorls close to Akalmar. Ah Marken Island is also cool, really small as Myra said, half an hour by bike you can see the whole island, but worthy if you go by bike in a sunny day :-) Public transportation - Yeah they are great, but remember of checking in and out with your card otherwise you lose your credits/money. During 1 year you can get refunded for 3 times if you forgot to check out. You can forget to check out 3 times in each type of transportation.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact we made a bunch of our landmass from scratch, like the land you live on, Flevoland! It used to just be sea, then we turned it into a lake, and now there's polders, so basically new land. I don't like my country, mostly because of our horrible language and the fact we only get a little bit of snow during winter, but I can't deny it's a very interesting country. For example, we are the reason carrots are orange! We were the first country ever to legalize same-sex marriage and throughout history have been the most accepting and tolerant European country, especially during the Renaissance, many enlightened thinkers moved here so they could actually do research and publish their works! I'm a history freak okay I can't help it and I don't often get to share things like this. If you want to know more fun facts or want me to explain some I already said, just let me know! I'd be happy to. I also can't forget to mention the fact we once ate our prime minister, I'm not joking.

I just asked the question, how do Black and Brown ppl overcome your version of Christmas as it is in Blackface. I don't think I could handle it

In response to 6:38: in American English, a blouse is a shirt for women specifically. They don't need to have buttons, but they can. Blouses also tend to be loose-fitting garments. A men's shirt with buttons is referred to as a button-up or a button-down, depending on where in the US you would live. There's an actual distinction between the two, but most people either don't know it offhand (like myself) or don't care. To distinguish blouses and button-ups further, you would refer to the sleeve type. So you could have a short-sleeve blouse or a long-sleeve button-down, for instance.

@theijemanmanman

11 ай бұрын

Oh waw, that feels so cursed as a Dutchman. Here a bloes (blouse) is, basically always, a shirt with buttons made out of a sturdy and thin fabric, no matter the sleeve length. And shirts are just long sleeved t-shirts. Neither have anything to do with what gender they were designed for. I feel that this is generally an easier way to distinguish clothing, which also isn't only limited to shirts and blouses, but also sweaters/hoodies/vests (or zip-up hoodies). I'm curious about why this difference is a thing between languages, seeing how clothing generally isn't very different across the globe.

I really enjoyed this video. My wife and I, prior to the "pandemic" visited the Netherlands on an yearly basis once spending three months straight there (the maximum amount of time that we could stay as foreigners). In our humble opinion the entire country is very picturesque. Because of its size it's easy to see it without spending days travelling. The most difficult question I have ever had to answer is "what is my favourite city/town/village in the Netherlands"? The fact that we have been returning to the Netherlands on an yearly basis as of 2010 is an indication of how beautiful this country is.

If you truly live in Flevoland, I advice you to go with a car to the fields around Zeewolde if I am right. As in that's now a flower heaven (tulips all the way you can see). It differs from year to year when it's full of them. But as far as I hear till now, it's now the right time to go. And it's way quieter to go there then to go to the Bollenstreek. Its truly a nice experience if you love nature/calm.

I am a german and I make a Bikcycletour through the Netherland almost every Year. And I was in Lelystad very often. But this is the first time I see that Skulpture! Seems like I missed that out.

You can take your bike with you in the trains to, but outside of "spitsuur". Cost about 6 euro 10 extra for a whole day. But it's worth it as certainly in places like Zeeland, trains aren't as frequent and busses don't get everywhere and if you don't own a car, this can be very handy. I always see the video's about bicycles missing this part of information. It helps so much. Not to forget you can also just rent an OV-fiets, which is cheaper.

As for the language, I think it’s okay to move with no language or the very basics, but after, if one wants to stay and make a life in the country, it is …well… a kind of coming without saying that one learns a language. I live in Québec which is francophone but as it is Canada and it is indeed not very complicated to function here with English and 0 French, some assume that they will do their best to consciously avoid learning French at all but still stay and profit from everything that the land has to offer. It pisses me off honestly. So it’s always cool to see people who actively value the culture and the language of the place they came to live in, I think it’s just very normal :)

Dutch people bicycle a lot in the big cities because it is the fastest way to get around. In most big cities you can get from A to B in 15 minutes with a bicycle and parking is free. Using a car means you have to drive at least 20 minutes, next you'll spend 30 minutes finding a parking spot which will cost you an arm and a leg per 15 minutes and is about a 25 minute walk away from the place where you need to be.

Hi I am Dutch and I fully agree with the fact that even though the english of Dutch people is pretty good, they prefer to revert back to the dutch language whenever the occasion arises. It is hard to break into Dutch friendgroups (we often stay close with our high school/uni friends). So, we are some tough cookies to crack, what can you do about it? Ofcourse learning the Dutch language would be a solution, even a few words is a great beginning. However, I have a special tip for you that can maybe further spark you creativity to enable you to create some relations here, so listen. Dutch people are pretty opinionated, we all think we know it pretty well and want to share our two cents whenever we can. So what does this mean? Well... We love to teach! Explain things. About our culture, our language... What's wrong with certain politicians. Anything. If you ask us about what we think about certain things, or let us explain things to you, you are gonna crack us open. So go out there man! Ask that dutch woman about what cheese she buys. Ask some kids on the street if they can teach you a funny Dutch swear word. Ask the guy on the park bench if he can tell you something about the history of the city you're in. You can even pick one topic and document your journey, just like our friend Adi is doing. Get out there brother! There are stories to be discovered.

It also helps to take up a leisure activity or sport in a society (vereniging, not sure about English translation). Dutchies are more open and have more time to get to know new people there. My Dutch husband moved from a big city to the village I grew up in. And this is how he met new people outside of my family and friends. In shops most people really just want to get the stuff they came in there for and go elsewhere.

Nicee vlog,which city you live now?

Blouse is generally used for women's wear and shirt for men's.

Ok, so I've been in the Netherlands for a week now and I'm already in love with the country. I'm here for one more week and dreading going back to the US =) I loved your video and I hope to fall in love with a Dutch man and live happily ever after LOL (a girl can dream right?) I'd have to say that I feel short for the first time in my life and I love it! (I'm 180 cm barefoot). I look forward to watching the rest of your videos =) Oh I also have a question...I work in the medical field, is it hard to find work in the medical field if you aren't fluent in Dutch?

It depends where you are from. A RN might get a job but it would be hard because of the language barrier. The way anything medical is taught is country specific. But it is doable. There are a few YT channels you can take a look at who just recently made the move. One even that is in the process of relocating. Hold on, I'll try to find theirs...

I don't think it's hard to find a job. There are a lot of open places in the medical field.

It's a shirt. (not to confuse with a t-shirt) Blouse is a women's garment.

very beautiful country

Yes, it really is

For all the people who come to the Netherlands (especially at this time of year) when you want to see the tulips: only stay ALONG the fields and do not walk through them. It can destroy the flowers, making them useless to the farmers. Most farmers are therefore now closing off the fields, so you can no longer come close to them. Please take this into account.

Amazing

Where is the big shop you bought the blouse?
