After living in Holland for more than 18 years, two weeks ago I boarded a train to start a new life in Berlin, Germany. Sitting next to me was a very old Dutch man who was very warm, sharp and intelligent, we talked all the way until Hannover. When he stepped out of the train, only then I realised how bad I'd miss Holland. After all this years, they became "my people".

There are subsidies for structural problems but they will not cover the costs. Actually a lot of those buildings are rented out and not owned by the people who live there. If you own such a place there are many regulations up to the color and design of your front door. As we call it here: a protected city view (beschermd stadsgezicht). On the insight of the building you are allowed to change to your liking as long as it has no negative structural consequences.

I really admire the Dutch for being able to deal with floods and building up their country.

The Dutch , we admire so much for many reasons. The people great friends of us Brits. Greetings from Cornwall. UK.

I went for Summer in 2015, with my family, for a month. It was potentially the greatest experience of my life. So great that we ventured there again for another month the following year. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people. So kind-hearted and helpful. Almost all of the population that we'd come across spoke English, and fluent English at that too. The country boasts some fantastic museums. We explored Amsterdam many a time and explored a lot of the city. We explored some cities other than Amsterdam, of course; in fact, the exact same ones shown in the video, minus Zuiderzee. I think it's also worth mentioning how stunning the beaches are. Unfortunately, didn't get to swim, because it was the final day of our trip there, but the beaches were absolutely clean. I feel the beaches there are a little underestimated. I'll definitely visit it the next time I get the chance. Love you, Netherlands.

Mark R. I'll keep that in mind but I have to disagree about New York. NYC feels different from all other American cities with big avenues, everybody driving cars, no pedestrians, clean but empty boxy small downtown with big suburbs. Whereas, NYC is full of small alleys, cobblestone streets, old churches, old buildings, alive with diversity not only in the people, but the buildings and neighborhoods. The buildings are iconic, the street signs are iconic, the subway system is iconic, and each neighborhood is different. You have the artsy neighborhoods of lower Manhattan, and Brooklyn. The posh and classy neighborhoods around the central park. Then you have the real live immigrant neighborhoods with real authentic food and stuff (not tourist traps like the chinatown in london). You really have to be in NYC, experience all the little things to fall in love with it. If you just do the typical daily tour, then Yea that can be boring. I'm born and raised around this city and it is anything but boring.

Ah lovely country of ma grandfather. Love from Indonesia

This video makes me want to visit. Though my family left The Netherlands for America in 1627 We've maintain some of the cultural traditions, Probably because we've always belong to the Dutch Reformed Church. Through it we still have the catechism and Confession. We also get to meet visiting Dutch people and those who have moved here. When we moved to the South there weren't any so we went to the Presbyterian Church. There are more recently arrived Dutch communities in Michigan. They've been here since the 19th century and came bringing a more traditional denomination with them. Culturally we still resemble the home folks. We are hard workers and thrifty. We're very organized and maintain a standard of cleanliness that's hard to find among other people. Perhaps someday.

hard working and keeping your home clean (both literally and figuratively) are definitely old protestant values we cherish. Love to see it maintained by the people who left for America for better life.

Perfect engineering. I think we still need to learn more from the Netherlands. Our capital city is drowning faster than any big cities in the world. Once big rain comes, flood everywhere!. Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.

I am admitting to the spelling mistakes. But there was a 's' in place of 'z', and in many languages u pronounce 's' in 'z' sound if the comes in mid or till end of the word, especially in European languages. Just one letter which isnt changing sound, is a very minor mistake for non-native. Also there is a difference in British and American English, one uses 's' and other 'z' in for some words.

Just don't think these tourist travel vlogs represent the country

As a dutch person, I can say that though we do have some great things as shown in the vid. Overall at-least as I see it, our country is not paradise. Rich history, great sights and sort of a mixed overall open-minded culture. People remain people, and there are off-course less great things around. Such as the country being dense in terms populated causes the price of houses to rice. Though all houses are made out of some sort of stone and sturdy, you do not get as much land or a huge garden as you would see in the united states, where there is to much land that is unused. The healthcare system is great, but there are some people trying to abuse that. People are nice but like i said people are people, some are open... some are very closed. Its a nice country to live but paradise on earth does not exist :p

I live here, and well, it kinda sucks. There's so little sunlight, so often overcast, or just raining. The landscape is so horribly boring. Only a few places look nice, most of it is just endless flattness, but not perfect flatness, no, flatness interrupted by lines of trees, and buildings scattered around. There's always people nearby. I go to a nice nature place, and, boom, tons of people who did the same thing. Way too crowded here, and most towns are utterly ugly with no character whatsoever.

@Swaxdude

Landscape isn't boring. You think it's boring because you are used to it. Same counts for the 'ugly' towns. I actually think most towns have their own character. They're all different. But in every country you will find people anywhere, unless you move to Russia, Mongolia, Canada, Australia or Namibia. Also the flatness may be boring to you, but it's actually very unique, since pretty much all other countries aren't flat.
