My top Home cultural Shocks
Welcome to another episode of my life!
Today I want to share with you the cultural shocks that I had when I moved to The Netherlands, especially home related. But I have to say that now I am used to and don't find them weird anymore, maybe a little incovenient especially the one to do my hair but besides that I am very happy with my life in The Netherlands and I am actually very proud of myself that I can adjust easily to different ways of living.
Thank you for being here and for watching my videos.
Have a wonderful day and I will see you in my next video!
Bye ❤️

Just go to HEMA or ZEEMAN f.e. Use a backpack for surplus groceries, néver like this or dangling from your steering. You will fall hard and abruptly when it goes awry. And you have to indicate direction with that arm. Backpack.

      “Holland” originates from the early germanic word “holt” land. That word developed into “hout” in Dutch or “holz” in German. So it actually means “woodland”, due to the woods that were found in the fertile and marshy plains which is now Holland.

    Bedding. Remember these words if you want what we would call "the old way". Hoeslaken: The bedsheet that goes over the matras. usually has elastic edges to keep it on. (Plural Hoeslakens) Laken: the bedsheet that makes your bedsheet sandwich complete. (plural Lakens) Deken: a blanket, you want them in winter epsecially. There are summer and winter blankets. (Plural Dekens) Kussensloop: what goes around your pillow. (plural Kussenslopen) As others mentioned, Hema is an excellent place for old style bedding. But yes, I would say most people here use a "dekbed" with a "dekbedovertrek", much easier to make up.

    I think the bedsheet you are looking for is called “laken”. A “hoeslaken” has curved edges with elastic to fold around the mattress. A “laken” is just a straight sheet of fabric to put in your bed. Hema has “lakens”. Ikea has only 1 type called Dvala laken.

My grandparents build many houses and we had a minimum of 2 bathrooms and 2 wc! My mom bought a house from the 70’s and it had no shower in it and. This was in 2002 those people just didn’t shower my mom redid the whole house and put in 2 🚾 and a bathroom! She renewed her bathroom again after 5 years and sold the house… and omg the homes here are lacking power outlets it’s just insane! I d k whenever I’m in Asia, north or South America I feel like it’s so much more luxurious to live there cause you really get a house 🏡 not a weird house where you can hear your neighbors breathing! Last 15 years I’ve lived in 5 new builds and the quality is just terrible but I think building your own house here is just way better… anyways a girl who’s family is in real estate and grew up living it is giving her opinion based upon on her experience so don’t come at me ✌🏻

      It actually presents a somewhat increased risk of electrocution to use an appliance without ground (randaarde) like your hairdryer with an extension cord in a wet space like the bathroom.

    A 'Hoeslaken', 'Dekbed en Dekbed overtrek' is a way to do your bed. But I can ashore you can buy 'normal' bedsheets like you were thinking about. Older houses don't have power sockets in the bathroom for security reasons. Sometimes you find a socket like in a hotel just for a men's electric razor or electric toothbrush. Modern houses have a new electric setup and have 1 or 2 sockets in the bathroom. We are very lucky with our drinking water. Many European countries have drinkable tap water.

      Yes, very drinkable tap water is my experience unless in regions with very hard water. Imagine; in the touted 'clean, pure' NZ the tap water is for the most part undrinkable, overloaded with chlorine and fluoride...

    Using an extension cord seems dangerous. There is a reason bathrooms have no outlet. Google it. If you need a mirror to do your hair buy a handmirror. I'm sure Ikea sells them.

    Hi, great video, very helpful. We got a question maybe you could help us. my girlfriend dutch is pregnant 4 months at this time, I have to leave the country already because my visa expired, we want to apply for a chavez residence permit when the baby is born but we have heard from a lawyer that there are cases denied and the father gets rejected the visa to stay with the kid in this case Dutch mother. This because they can say that we can have a life also in the other country and not in The Netherlands. Maybe have you heard of cases like this and also what would be an argument for them to deny this visa?
