The carpet is absolutely stunning and so glad you guys got to see it! I see why you love Brussels so very much! It definitely would be a city I’d love to visit some day! The food always looks so amazing! 😉 what a fun getaway! 🩷

Nice to see one of the fanciest parts of The Hague! FYI: the 'park' you show in the first part of the video isn't a park, despite the many trees. It is just a very wide street, in the form of a try-square (according to the dictionary, the dutch word is 'winkelhaak'). It is called Lange Voorhout; locally the emphasis is on the last syllable ('...hout'). You can recognize a visitor when the emphasis is laid in the syllable before it ('...voor...'), in line with standard Dutch. It is part of the king's procession on the third Tuesday of September, when on his way to the formal read of the government's programme for the next year. Set your video to record it from approx. 12:00 to around 15:00 if you want to see some Dutch pomp, or join the crowd weather permitting of course. The USA embassy building there is its former embassy. The embassy is now in a different location just adjacent to the The Hague municipality, mainly because it could be better secured. So if you need to visit the USA embassy in NL, look up its current location first... Lots of stories to tell about the Lange Voorhout, it's immediate surroundings and buildings. In old city maps you can see this street already in the 16th century, if memory serves me well !

It looks like you went to the south beach (zuiderstrand). Scheveningen beach is more north at the other end of the harbour. When you saw the sign "Scheveningen" That's the Duindorp part of Scheveningen. Duindorp is a neighbourhood of Scheveningen which is a district of The Hague. This beach you went too is known by the inhabitants of The Hague as the quite beach. The actual Scheveningen beach is far more crowded in the summer. Most families tend to go to the quite beach. Great to see the Fahrenheitstraat. That's my old neighbourhood. Nice video as always.

What an absolute gorgeous beach and love the trails they have there. Reminds me a lot of ludington state park here in Michigan. Tarlo looked like he had the very best time. Loved seeing him in the sand. Oh my gosh that Cesar salad looks absolutely amazing! Glad you all got to enjoy the beach. 💚💚 thanks for taking us along with you.

Awww Tarlo is such a cutie 😍, so nice to see him running happy on the sand

The entire coastal strip is called Scheveningen, formerly a separate village but has been part of The Hague for a long time. Where you were it is called the southern beach and it is also a lot quieter there in the summer than around the boulevard. In the winter it can REALLY storm there

Maybe you can rent a transportation bike (bakfiets) first to try out, or go to a bicycle shop and tell them about you're doubts concerning your dog and ask them if you can try if it's suitable for you.

As far as I know tram or bus will take you to the beach much faster than 45 min.

Another great trip with you. So relaxing and after watching I've got to get something to eat. You two eat such great food.

Amsterdam looks so magical! I loved seeing all the boats on the river too. ❤

I live in The Hague (Den Haag) too, for a long time now. I love to see how you, as Americans, look at The Hague. Thank you for sharing!

Coffeeshops?? You mean café. For headache and beginning migraine helps me 2 herring without additions. By the time you finish the 2nd you're good to go (at least try, its healthy too)😊

Oh, The Mega Stores..., sorry, that really is the worst place to go shopping there is in The Hague. For fun shopping it is better to go to "De Fred" in Scheveningen (Frederik Hendriklaan) Alternative for a shopping mall... "Westfield Mall of the Netherlands". I don't like shopping malls, but this one is certainly a lot better. And if you want to visit a real pet shop, you should go to 'Avonturia De Vogelkelder'. I just don't know if your dog is allowed in there. Truly an adventure, how many pet stores do you know that have flamingos in the store for example.

You can also have groceries delivered to your home. Almost all supermarkets have a website where you can order their products. For a few euros they will bring it to your front door. And in terms of food, you should also try the Indonesian ones although the vegetarian options are somewhat more limited there.

Here we go to the AH to cool down a bit

Oh well, when they complain in the rest of the country that it's storming, we say here that it was a bit windier than normal here

A few days in the Netherlands and already complaining about the weather. That is very normal, as does every Dutch person, there is more to complain about, but everyone always complains about the weather here... 😊

Welcome to The Hague

What a beautiful forest stroll. Lots of lush greenery and that palace oh my gosh so stunning. Loved all the wood cravings and cute forest playground for the kiddos. This looks like a place I’d venture to a lot. Your food looked so good as well. Thanks for sharing your little venture with us. ❤

Hi, Nice stroll. If you look at the palace then you didn't see the Royal Standard (an Orange flag) so the King was not at home!

Good to see you found the "Haagse Bos". Except for the palace it has remained a forest since forever, thanks to some old decree. Likewise, the large rectengular grass field is protected by an ancient decree (16th century if memory serves me well) to remain just that. It is known as the "Malieveld". It is used for demonstrations, temporary circus locations, events like The Hague had the largest pasar malam of the country. The deer park is known as the "Koekamp". Just FYI...

"European kitchens"... she knows them all , are " simple"... says an American privileged to finally see a modern concept kitchen not made from tacky plywood and bulging fridges , I leave this channel NOW.

Maybe you stop eating like Americans and stop eating all that junkcrap. Use your stove!

What a gorgeous day it looked like and wow those salads and whipped feta! Yum! Nothing like that here in the states that’s for sure. Oh my gosh, you found my favorite store. Never would have thought they had one in the Netherlands but so cool. I adored the palace. What a beautiful park they have next to it. Can’t wait to see part two! 😉

6:08 Fuchsia

The salads look so yummy! Oh btw, if you love roses then I recommend the Westbroek park (june-november), a big park with many roses in different colors. A nice park where I often go to is Landgoed Ockenburgh. And Kijkduin beach is also nice (a little bit less crowded than Scheveningen)

Try the Dutch tap water, it’s delicious and safe to drink. There really is no need to buy packaged water besides the times you are on the go and forgotten your reusable water bottle.

The Hague has so much parks and forrest not to mention the dunes. I recomend the Scheveningse Bosjes. Westduinpark and Park Clingendael. Zuiderpark is also worth visiting. You'll love it there

Nice sunny weather ! It might be a nice idea to have a walk along the sea at Scheveningen as well, just a tip.

Lovely video. New subscriber. It does everything to confirm my memory of life in the Netherlands as a more tranquil and civil. Granted you went to one extreme (garden/sculpture park) to the other (hello! shoe store) but it still came off as a good way to spend a day.

Indo food is the best in The Hague

You can climb the church and check out the view 🎉 probably cost a few euros.

OMG, do you ever eat fresh veggies or fruit?

I am sure you pay a lot of money to stay in that apartment. Thats how they rip off al the foreigners. The real Netherlands and The Hague is way different. Take a look in Transvaal and the Schilderswijk.

Dear people of this video. I started watching this as I was curious how foreigners experience the first few days in my city/ country. I always love that. And I learn new things about my own city🎉 But then... you showed us your home and I was really taken aback. I realise you are from another culture, and how you perceive things and communicate them are different than we do. However, I do want to share my first thoughts and feelings that came across my mind in those first 5 to 10 minutes. Just to let you see, and hopefully understand, that what you think and how you communicate things is perceived rude in the Netherlands. Now, I communicate this to you in a very Dutch way. Be aware, it's direct. I will immediately tell you how your comments make me feel. So please don't take this as rudeness, but as a Dutch way of letting you know 'hey, this is not okay, these are the reasons why not so you can learn and adjust yourself, and then you will be able to connect to the culture and perhaps one day become a part of it'. Dutch directness is way of giving feedback, to make you reflect about yourself/ situation you are in, to give you a chance to adapt. So the bluntness of us is actually a way of trust building. So there we go. Below, you will find my direct thoughts. I hope my introduction of Dutch culture helps to accumulate them😂: 2 minutes in.... you are calling this a simple kitchen. You should be ashamed. What I am seeing is pure luxury, only affordable to the elite and lucky few. Your washing room isn't small. It is huge. Plus, you have a washing room. 99% of the people don't have that. Little garden? Little (private) parking spot?! Like.... what? It is really big.... please stop calling everything little. You are really overstepping yourself here, making everything Dutch small and unimportant. Are you not aware you have moved into another culture? That The Netherlands are as big as a post stamp? That we have to make do with what we have? Who are you to put us down so much? It's giving me the feeling you are not realising you are in an elite position, in another country. In a very large and luxurious home. It comes across as ignorant. The house you have is not something most of us can afford. I am 40, worked in pharma, and even as an (ad interim) director, I was not able to buy a house or afford a rental place with a bedroom. Instead, I got a studio (a one room apartment with just a staircase bathroom with toilet) without sunlight but with lots of moulds. So I was already in an elite position (with the job and salary) and even I could not afford a 'normal' house. Most of us don't know how to make ends meet and live on the 12th floor looking out to another concrete building. The area in which you are living is only for the rich and some social housing initiatives. Or people who have lived there since the 80's/90's. Those were my thoughts....I hope you take them in and learn from it. That you may enjoy my city and country as you were already doing on your first strolls! Best of luck and one day we might actually come across each other, I don't live that far from you guys. Tchau

Very nice !

6:07 that is a Fuchsia. Probably wierd in english… 😂 Foochsia ok?

the "ducks" at 15.40 are actually coots aka meerkoeten

welcome to our beautiful city!

10:25 : Maison de Bonneterie. An old school luxury department store.

You are alowed to speak in a normal voice in The Netherlands. Tell you companion to get rid of the ridiculous cap. Look around you, nobody uses baseball caps here. Especially middle-aged folks don't.

How are you living in Europe without a visa? Being American. Asking out of curiosity! Cool channel, definitely curious

Lucifer plant 👍😉🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 enjoy

Forget the horrible Megastores! Don´t forget to visit the Piet Heinstraat in the Zeeheldenkwartier. There are lots of nice shops, restaurants and cafe´s.

Where did you get lunch? And what falafel place was it?

The bush at 5:55 is a Fuchsia. It's the type that can have a little frost, which there isnt much of because you live close to the sea. In a very harsh winter it might freeze and has to grow all over again from the ground.

welcome in our beautiful city!

Ooh you went to the Megastores😮. There are plans to renovate the whole place.. well they need to 😂

The Noordeinde Palace you saw on your left is being used as the official workplace of King Willen-Alexander and his wife Queen Maxima. They live in another palace in The Hague, called Huis ten Bosch which means House in the Woods and lies in a wooden section of The Hague. The statue infront of the palace is William of Orange and was the leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648) and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces (which later became the Netherlands) in 1648. Born into the House of Nassau, he became Prince of Orange in 1544 and is thereby the founder of the Orange-Nassau branch and the ancestor of the monarchy of the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, he is also known as Father of the Fatherland. You could say he is the founding father of the Netherlands.

Nice video! Welcome to the Netherlands and enjoy your time here! 😃
