We moved from the U.S. a month ago and love the Netherlands! This has been the least stressful move ever. You feel like this country has your back. I’ve never felt more relaxed or supported in my life. We don’t foresee leaving either. Everything just works here compared to where we came from. Our next project is learning Dutch!
Congrats, and finally a blog that says Amsterdam is overrated for tourists! There are so many beautiful other cities like Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Maastricht, Groningen and many more.
Amsterdam is a beautiful city not over rated but over crowded with tourist. And yes there is more then amsterdam but not over rated . One of the most beautiful cities in this world❤
I tune in every now and then, but it’s really cool that you show off the Netherlands and not just Amsterdam. Given how small the country is a lot of people don’t appreciate how well connected everything is they never explore further than the Randstad.
Van harte gefeliciteerd met jullie verlenging voor het verblijf in Nederland. Dat jullie nog maar vele jaren vol geluk in Nederland mogen wonen. Ik volg jullie nu een jaartje denk ik en ik ben ondertussen een vaste volger en geniet enorm van jullie humor. Een tip voor jullie steden tour probeer eens Elburg te bezoeken. één van de kleinste stadjes van Nederland. Groetjes DeToov. 🥂
@@zjweele13 Er zijn zeker problemen in Nederland wat betreft geloof en huidskleur, maar ga daar eens over nadenken! Zijn we daar niet allemaal, zowel hun kant als onze kant niet fout in geweest? Ik ga zeker niet alles goed praten, maar even eeen voorbeeld. Een hele goeie vriend van mij is begin jaren 90 als politiekvluchteling als 9 jarig jochie uit Iran naar Nederland gekomen. Irak (Sadam Hoesein) had op hun familie een bedrag geplakt! De vader was een een hoog aangeschreven tandarts in Iran, moest eerst inburgeren, watt logisch is, maar moest daarna een beroep kiezen om te volgen voor zijn toekomst, van een lager niveau (met alle respect) hij kon kiezen uit de bouw sector en dat soort opleidingen. Na 20 jaar heeft hij zich aangemeld voor toetsing en opleiding tandarts, het vak waar zijn hart ligt, maar nee kwam er niet door, zijn denk niveau in Nederland werd te laag geschat, terwijl tandartsen zeggen, waar hij dagje mee mocht lopen (7 totaal), hij is goed opgeleid en leergierig, verstaat zijn vak (moest wel bijscholen wat logisch is), maar waarom dit dan weer tegenhouden, want die stomme kut opleiding is niet alleen tandarts, maar bijvoorbeeld ook je talen vaardigheid! Zoals Engels, waarop hij gezakt is, kan hij dan niet werken in een praktijk met enkel Nederlandse cliënten of Nederlands talige cliënten? Ik zeg niet dat alles zo gaat, maar als je goedwillende mensen met verstand van een beroep zo gaat weren en ze ongelukkig maakt in een sector waar ze het eigenlijk niet naar hun zin hebben, moet jee ook niet raar opkijken dat het gaat botsen.
You are happy that you can stay in the Netherlands for another five years and we are happy that we can enjoy your videos for (at least) another five years. That's what they call a win-win situation. Congratulations.
Great news guys! Nice to hear you love living here. Buying a house will be a very tough challenge. Real estate prices have gone through the roof lately. Living close to Amsterdam, I fully agree Amsterdam is not the best city to visit, although it has its hidden gems.
Congrats and well deserved!! I've been living in the Netherlands since birth, 58 years now..and still learning new things from your video's, and love the way you try all the dutch things. Talking about integration 😊, next stop: 50.000 subscribers!!
Glad to see you're gonna be with us for a while. I would gladly be your guide to the Eindhoven most people don't get to see (even many people from Eindhoven itself). Good luck in the next five years and way after that!!
I just found this channel but I love how you introduce me (Dutch) to my own country from a different perspective. Also love seeing how you treat each-other.
Gefeliciteerd Lex and Michelle on that renewal. Now onward to the next one, with you maybe even have permeant residence if you want. Great to see it all works out for you and i wish you the best of luck for the coming years on becoming even more Dutch! 🥳🎉
Congrats on at least another 5 years! I really enjoy both canals and would hate to see you guys leave. You two have a chemistry that is fun and touches the heart! I'm hungry for way more of your adventures.
A big congratulations for growing the channel so successfully and doing such an amazing job of learning how to settle in as immigrants. Not easy. It's truly an inspiring story. Love the whole "of course we're staying" vibe to the whole video. Keep the car-free life going. That too is inspiring and proves the concept of what a great mass transportation nation NL is. It's no secret what a housing-challenged country NL is right now, so it will be fascinating to see you explore what area works for you best. Gefeliciteerd!
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾. It’s great that you can stay here. More great videos to come in the next years. It’s great to see you embrace the Dutch culture. I have to check your second channel. I am one of your subscribers that would watch videos of you in other countries. ❤❤❤
Hey, Michelle and Alex. Congrats on staying 5 more years in the Netherlands. Having seen quite a few vids of you both, it's obvious you both feel well here 😊 Your perspectives on the Netherlands are really great 👍 We love having smart and funny people coming over to our small country. Thanks you both. Keep'm coming, the vids.👍👌
subscribed to your channel as a way to say thank you for staying ❤ I like your content, and I love the idea that there will be more! Please keep up the good work 👍
Great channel guys. I have lived 8 years in Vlaardingen great public transportation cheaper and quieter than Rotterdam. Really missing it. Now I live in Oostburg.
Go visit the old Hanze cities on the IJssel, Doesburg, Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle, Kampen. Mediëval cities that have been lovely restored. In Zutphen there is the Librije, the oldest public library in the world and very special. Books are on chains. Looks like a scene from a movie like name of the rose
Amsterdam-Zuid and Amsterdam-Centrum outside of the Tourist area around Amsterdam CS are beautiful to go for a long walk on a warm sunny day in May or September. But I agree that the Rokin on a rainy day in November is rather miserable.
If for housings you need long-distance travel by public transport but you don't have a set job to attend to, I can recommend both Meppel and Den Helder. Both do have a train station and are decent towns in and of themselves, but fairly cheap because they're not positioned great for regular commuters. Den Helder is in a bit of an economic slump though, Meppel's booming.
I am sooo glad you guy’s are having so much fun while being here. It is a joy to watch, glad you answered all those questions. Thank you for that. I like the way you talked about going nude too, but most of all the food talk….❤
Darlings, you are more than welcome here. I follow your posts and you seen to be an asset in this crazy country. You two are loved very much here. Congratulations. And love you for knowing that The Netherlands are not Amsterdam. A fresh stroopwafel is great.
Great that you decided to stay. I made that choice 34 years ago and Ive never regretted it. I also love that you have dared leave Amsterdam and explore other places for me its always been Fryslan..
congratulations!!!!! Cheers from Canary Islands. As a new yorker living here I believe you are doing the right thing. Hope you guys come to visit. See you soon
Congrats on the renewal!! Glad you have enjoyed living in the Netherlands. It has produced a lot of nice videos! ...And now I'm secretly praying to learn which city you guys didn't like 😅
wow congrats and i hope one day i can stumble upon you guys somewhere in the Netherlands. I love the city exploring videos.. I need more of that. As a fellow immigrants in NL, I wish I could explore those cities like you. "lazy subscriber" lol
Congratulations my dutchies 🎉 a second subscription is on its way. By the way.. With the amount of subscribers you two have at this very moment, You could fill half the football stadium the kuip Rotterdam with people (fans) 😮 and believe me..! That's insane! Because I experienced it myself. Can't wait to see your next dutch and other advantures.

As a Dutchman who used to live in the US I could not agree more 😊
Where do you live? Can I help you with learning Dutch in any way?
@@atropatene3596 Thank you for your offer but we are signed up for Dutch classes to start soon and have online resources until then.
Welcome to our small country 🤗
@@xxleonie1987xx Dank je wel!
We love having you here in The Netherlands.
Congrats, and finally a blog that says Amsterdam is overrated for tourists! There are so many beautiful other cities like Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Maastricht, Groningen and many more.
To a great extent, it is the tourists that make it overrated. We just sacrifice A'dam so the rest of the country can remain okay.
@@landsgevaer Yes, for instance Groningen is shit, don't come here! (I live in Groningen 😄😉)
@@joostdriesens3984 So do I. Stop the Lelylijn! ✊
Amsterdam is a beautiful city not over rated but over crowded with tourist. And yes there is more then amsterdam but not over rated . One of the most beautiful cities in this world❤
Or Hoorn! Great city with greath history 👍🏻
You cannot leave. You're the best ambassadors for that country. Greeting from Germany!
I appreciate the Amsterdam comment 🙌 people always only talk about/go to Amsterdam, but there are so so many other places.
I tune in every now and then, but it’s really cool that you show off the Netherlands and not just Amsterdam. Given how small the country is a lot of people don’t appreciate how well connected everything is they never explore further than the Randstad.
Dear Michelle and naughty Alex, it is nice to hear that you will be here among us in the coming years. Have a good time and give us fun vlogs pls 😘
I was afraid they would leave us. Sooo glaadddd they dont.

Congrats to all of us! We don't have to miss your shenanigans in the Netherlands and abroad.
CONGRATULATIONS! , Positive people are always welcome 🙂
Except when they are brown or muslim. At least voting outcomes suggest that
