Welcome to our channel! We are Eric and Tammy. We moved from California, United States to the Netherlands in July, 2021. We enjoy traveling through life together, exploring new places, trying new foods and have fun making lighthearted videos of these experiences!

I think most dutchies are too down to earth to get airco for the few days its actually really hot 😂
Most shops have 'klantentoilets' they are just not advertised. When you ask there is a big change they either walk with you and bring you there, you get a key or something 😉
Picking items from the trash, every Dutchman ever worth it's salt has done it, so well done Eric !
If you dont follow alternative news and the very 'red' socialist cencored russian news channels here , the news gets very one sided at least.
Ieder land is afgestemd voor zijn kwaliteiten waar ook terwereld
De usa is het groter nederland is compact beter geregeld
Please consider a visit to Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn. It’s the Versailles from The Nederlands.

Next time during xmas days, visit the Intratuin in Rhoon ;-)
Tammy how beautifull to see you react to normal thingsi the netherlands
Dutch people simply learned at an early age not to piss all over their hands...
You can also book a three day stay at the hotels. One is build like an "old" dutch town. the entry for the park is than free. It somewhat like Disneyland where you also have theme hotels, like a western town. Disneyland is readily available from Rotterdam central. Take the hi-speed (Thalys) train: it stops at the entry of Disneyland Paris.
Sinterklaas was a catholic event. Most protestants did not celebrate it. Somewhere around middle november sint came to the town where you live and was greeted by the mayor of the town. Not so in the bible belt, there were no sinterklaas festivities. There were also no big festivities on Christmas because for both protestants and catholics this was a holy day, to remember Christ birth.
1. You can vote now for the provinces and separately for the waterschappen. The country is divided in 12 provinces, an you can vote in and for the province you live in. In your case South Holland. The waterschap (or hoogheemraadschap) is the hoogheemraadschap van schieland and the krimpenerwaard. There are three administrative layer: the government, the province and the city. There is also a very old administratieve layer; the hoogheemraadschap. That is concerned with thing about watermanagement: keeping the polders dry, controlling dykes and bridges tec. They are a separate from the other three and exist since around year 1200. 2. Everybody over 18 who is a resident in the Netherlands can vote. Everyone also prisoners. Only people who loose the right to vote by judges penalties (almost never happens) or people under surveillance by another (mentally retarde e.g) can be relieved of their voting rights. 3. You can vote only for ONE name by making the position in front of the person red. You can't write anything else on the ballot form, then it will be invalidated. 4, When you are abroad (as a Dutch national) you can apply to vote by mail, and sending your ballot to the appropriate authority. 5. You can one other person autorise to vote for you. Fill in the crad and autorise it and give it to the person who will vote. 6. A person can only vote for maximal two others. For obvious reasons. 7. Mostly you vote for the first person on the list. There are same reasons to choose otherwise; like a candidate you know, or if you want yo give your vote to the first women in the list. 8. Names are put under the name of the party the represent. The reasons there are so many names is when an elected person does not take its seat for any reason, the next one on te list can fill in his place. If the list is exhausted the seat remains empty. 9. If a person get 3/4 of the votes or more that is needed for election he will get the seat. The first one on the list get mostly a lot more to get elected the rest goes to the next one on the list and so forth. 10 You vote for a party who you think best represent your mindset. Check the folders of the parties you are interested in. Remember: on those folders will only say where they stand on various issues. They will not guarantee you get what you want. 11. No one cares much about the voting for the waterschappen. They will do fine. That is the reason is is not very contested, and the vote is always together with the provincial elections. 12. All voting is in principal for 4 years. Municipal voting and voting for provinces are always after four years. When the government (coalition) breaks down, there will be new voting for the parlement. 13 You cant vote by mail. You have to go to the polling stations. The one you are assigned to, or others (in trainstations e.g.) 14. When there is an election you get an invitation. You need the present that form at the polling station together with and identification (a passport or driving license) So choose the party whose ideas you like. For instance the partij van de dieren is special concerned for the right of animals: decent living for chickens, pigs and cows. Against cruelty to animals etc. Or choose for a party who wants less foreigners to invade our precious country. Les Moroccans, or full is full. etc. There is a lot to choose from. I hope I have laid out the most importent rules.
Why are there no painkillers in the jungle? Because the parrots ate 'em all! :)
@@NimrodAldea that made me laugh…hard!❤️
Liebe Grüße aus Düsseldorf, unsere Nachbarn die Niederländer ich liebe die dutch Friends
Every hospital has an emergency room. You can just walk in there, and you will be treated.
This video is what you call making a mountain out of a mole hill. My parents explained that it is a test alarm, so we know it will work when it's really needed. And I explained it in the same way to my kids. Simple. When it goes off at any other time than the first Monday of the month, you go inside, close all doors and windows and turn on Radio 1 for information. Also explained that to my children. Simple
@@ErikJan4 hi Erik…thanks for watching and thanks for the jab…
Enjoy Hilversum, if you want to move again move to zeeland, cheaper and more relaxed living. And there are still houses available
I’m with Tammy! Dutch food is excellent. We have the best cheeses
Pannekoeken fron germany? Hell no
Do you know if child dependent includes siblings? Would my little brother under 18 qualify for "Partner/ Spouse/ Children under 18" because I can't find any info on this question. Thanks in advance
@@RonaldoElBicho-km4xv Hi Ronaldo. We are not sure about siblings, sorry.
Wij hebben geen stopborden nodig de meeste kennen de verkeersregels. Rechts heeft voorrang tenzij je op een voorrangsweg rijdt. En rij nooit over een voetganger of fietser hern.
Funny to have sun protection cream be called "sun tan lotion". It's literally designed to not get you tanned 😅 it's to protect you from the harmful sun rays that can get you burned and also tanned. Just thought that was funny. I know people used to call it that :)
the reason Pizza's are un-cut is that we can use them as frisbees to toss them at one another. You catch them with your teeth and swallow them whole, just like a real savage!
What insurance do you have? Which company and policy type?
We have zilveren kruis.
Us Dutchies just rent a cheap van and move our stuff and return the van. I don't have a license but then we just ask a friend. 😊
The UFO used to be closed for many years. At one point they opened the hatch. 😂 It was an art work for an extra large exhibition to be viewed from the Dom tower. There was a huge silver sparrow on the roof of old buildings on the Dom square and a huge tea pot that is still there now as your saw. And many other things. 😊

After watching a lot of videos of the USA I do not like to go there even if it is for a holiday. I never felt to go to the USA. Greetings from Roelof.
Happy to see you live in Rotterdam 😂. Hope to see you in the streets some day 👍
A trip along De Vecht is awesome
Oudewater is beautiful, but surrounding little cities like Montfoort, IJsselstein, Woerden and Schoonhoven are very nice
The metric system if really fantastic. It is so easy. 0 celcius is the turning point that water turns into ice. And 100 celcius is the boiling point. And also 1 km is 10 ha is 100dam is 1000 meter is 10000 decimeter is 100000 centimeter is 1000000 millimeter.
@SoultoSoulTravels 2 main reasons for the medicine thing are: 1 The Netherlands/The EU refuses to pay the insane amounts of money the USA asks for those meds to be imported and available here 2 : All High risk drugs of addiction are controlled, so only a Doctor from a hospital (Arts) can write a prescription for them.
Go visit surinam! One who hasn't eaten surinamese food, has not lived.
Saw this today. You can't compare the Netherlands to California. In the Netherlands we live on a much smaller scale , also the climate is totally different.
nl is one of the biggest cheese exporter, and flowers and veggies etc. the 4 country in the world with exports. and you say its all shit. I like the comments of your wife.
Congratulations with your grandson.
Hey there, I was just wondering a few days ago. I've seen multiple videos of you, also moving to Hilversum.. I believe you live in the street where I grew up. Not only that, seen this video for the second time. I truly believe you could live now in the house (it's split up into two houses) I've lived in for almost 18 years. 😂
You keep swapping hands when using a knife & fork; WHY?
when a alarm goes of moost of us stop to think about it .but when is goos of on a other day i think you wil get a amber alert aswell .then youl know somting realy is going on .and listen on the radio and tv
Nice
It is "stroopwafels:, not "siroopwafels". Stroop is molasses and siroop is syrup. And although Americans only know "Gouda' cheese it seems (but no clue how to pronounce it like Parmesan (where the "sjjjj" comes from?)), the Netherlands has over 750 different sorts of cheese, mostly named after the town like Gouda, notwithstanding jong, belegen, oud, jong belegen en oud belegen, graskaas among many other variations describing the aging process. But if American cheese is one's standard, what can we expect, other than understand the limitations and deficiencies and their (limited) perception of the rest of the world. I assumed you learned a lot the last 2 years. At least I hope so....
01/06 and 02/06 in Alkmaar there is a historic event now from the 17e sensory With acteurs and decorum
Hilversum is also the Media Centre of the Netherlands.......
Gewoon aanpassen zoniet ga je terug van land van herkomst zo simpel, jullie hoeven niet weg hoor ik weet hoe het is ergens te zijn waar je zelf fijn voelt
