When people talk about the Netherlands, they pretend that everything only takes place in Amsterdam and that the rest of the Netherlands does not exist.
Yeah, I'm always so annoyed by that. It's like my home doesn't exist. ???!!!
Sinterklaas is not based on Santa Clause but Santa Clause is (partly) based on Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas has been celebrated for more than 700 years. Santa Clause only exists for 200-250 years. By the way in dutch Santa=Sint Clause=Klaas.
We just have both anyway
Coca Cola screwed Sint Nicolaas. 😂
Santa clause image comes from a Coca-Cola they give Santa claus the image he has now
@@AndreKerstma91 No. santa claus already existed way before Coca-cola! Santa Claus is the Norwegian version of Sint Nicolaas adopted by the Americans. Hence Americans say Santa Claus comes from 'the north pole'
Biking is not away of live, it is just for going somewhere, cheap and good health is a bonus.
YES, Biking is a way of live. Although not for everyone.
For me it's highly important. I may not ride anything else. Not even a moped.
For someone like myself it's way more than going somewhere.
I ride my (E-)bike when I'm on holiday. And to relax (when the weather is good).
And I need my E-bike for work. Not for getting to work but, pulling my flatbed trailer to transport bikes.
Or I ride an bike that needs to be tested. Or checked after being repaired.
There is no such thing as 'directness' in the Netherlands. It's simply communicating effectively
I am Dutch and I recognize that other than my fellow Dutch I am considered direct to a lot of other people. So I don't know if I agree with you there.
I'm a born and raised dutch woman and it is so funny to see that what is so normal in the netherlands , is so strange for not dutch people. I love these video's because keukenhof always mention in it these Did you know that's is in Lisse and i live in Lisse😊 . Buy the way tulips are officially not from the netherlands. Did you know that the 🌷 original is from turkey ........... not the netherlands. 🤯🤣
00:55 Commuting by bike through rain and wind maybe, but through snow lol not really
02:51 Talks about prostitution, Shows random dressed women
05:30 Talks about canalboats, shows transport boat
07:08 Those fruit flavored sprinkles are not called Heegal Slack, but Vruchtenhagel (Fruit Sprinkles), Heegal Slack are made of chocolate while Vruchtenhagel is made of sugar.
07:25 Selling drugs in coffeeshops is still illegal in the Netherlands, there is a Tolerance policy so when the owners abide to strick rules, they won't get fines or trouble. But legally it's not allowed to sell drugs in the Netherlands
08:41 Black Pete is not there anymore, at least in most cities and villages Soot Smear Pete's in most cities and villages
09:20 Talks about Dutch snacks vending machines, shows Japanese vending machine
09:41 Talks about the Dutch iceskating culture, shows some other hilly country
09:44 The last Eleven Cities tour (Elfstedentoch)was in 1997, just saying.
Goeie samenvatting
@@DaPanda1980 And, when taking the effort to use dutch words, why not taking the effort to check the pronunciation and spelling? Even a Dutch person would not know what your talking about with this faulty pronunciation. So pity...
"Biking is more than just a way to get from place to place. It's a way of life." No, it *is* just a way to get from place to place. That's exactly why it's so common. Like driving in the US.
08:58 " snackbars or snackbar in Dutch " is one of the dumbest lines I have heard in a while 😆
8:35 Sinterklaas does NOT resemble Santa Claus. Sinterklaas is actualy short for Saint Nicolas (in dutch Sint Nicolaas), a Turkish bischop which came to the Netherlands with the Spaniards. And Santa Claus is actually a (norwegian) version of Sinterklaas! Hence in America is said Santa Claus comes from the 'Northpole'.
We do NOT have a "biking culture" or a "shoe culture" or a "pants culture".... We just do like trom go from a to be cheap and fast..
Pretty good video overall. It certainly sums up a couple of unique Dutch traits.
A few more;
1) The Dutch have a vast amount of dialects - sometimes even cycling 15km will get you to a town where a different accent is spoken. Some accents are so wildly different that Dutch speakers can hardly understand them.
2) Orange fever extends well beyond the King's day. It's particularly strong when Dutch national teams, Olympics, or, for example, the current Max Verstappen matches are going on.
3) (party-) Hard drug use in the Netherlands is extremely prevalent. XTC/MDMA are very commonplace at parties, festivals, and even clubs. Mushrooms and other psychedelics are also legal to obtain in so-called 'Smartshops'.
Based in point 1,The area I am from originally has a much different dialect on the north side of the river then the south side, along with that the area I live in now has a much different regional culture then when crossing the local river
1:09 the fietsflat is already closed fro two years!
Why is everyone so negative! I liked the video and those are things I would def show people from outside of the NL! I LIKED this video
I wish this guy would just try to pronounce things right. Just try
"Snackbar or snackbar in Dutch"😂
sinterklaas has its origin in a church saint, hence his suit looks like the popes.. the idea behind santa was sold by cocacola.....
I like these video's, even if they are wrong.
the last 11 cities tour is from 1997 in Friesland
I love the Netherlands! Ik hou van Nederland 🇳🇱 ❤
Realy? Tulips, Windmills and Cheesemarkets? Have you been living under a rock for the last fifty years or so? Why did you leave out clogs? The Tulips are mostly grown for export to other countries such als the USA and the rich oil-exporting-countries of the middle east. Most of the windmills are out of order and of the working windmills they are kept in working order mostly for tourism just as the cheesmarkets only exists as a kind of tourist performance. Do you know what's normal in the Netherlands? ASML, the largest en most important industry for machines that can produce computer-chips. The world wide known brand of Philips (now declining and hardly to call Dutch anymore but) where the Compactdisk was invented. The world wide most productive agricultural land (per acre) for dairy, greens etc. The most connected population on the internet. That is normal in the Nethrelands. And no, although legal, prostitution is not completely normal in the Netherlands. It's still rare and that's why it is concentrated in areas like the Amsterdam red light district. We only don't make a fuss about it. BTW, do you know why most Dutch men, if they do, visit a hooker once in a while?....no?...To fuck!. And this was heared in an interview with Gerard, a man who frequently visits hookers. When asked:"Gerard you're known for frequently visiting a prostitute, is that true? He simply answerd:"What's in a name, what's frequently,... one day more frequent then others." Wooden shoes forever.
Hebt U de afgeloepn 50 jaar onder een steen verbleven. Zeiken over dingen die niet genoemd worden in plaats van zinnig commentaar op hetgeen wel genoemd wordt ? Hoe gek kun je zijn ?

A stroopwafel does not contain caramel but it contains stroop or syroop. You can get bottles from it for pancakes and it tast differend then caramel.
It feels so weird to hear words I am used to, said in an English accent. Like "Hagelslag" or "Woonboot" or "Sinterklaas"
The "oo" in stroopwafel is pronounced like the "o" in bro or over or oreo.
The "a's" in hagelslag are pronounced as the "a" in arm or hard or arse
the one thing that is normal, is that it rains ,,, a lot.
No. Not as much as in most of the US or Northern Europe, anyway.
Sinterklaas does not 'resemble' Santa Claus, Santa Claus is a corruption of the Dutch name.
I live in gouda ❤❤
The 'cheers marker is not existent.. just a touristshow of something decennia abgo ended.. our Sinterklaas is much older tradition thans tour Santa Claus! Biking is just a cheap ,healthy way of transportation
An interesting and pretty accurate account, just a few words need some pronunciation corrections… Zeker!
Most things you see in this video is more specific to regio Amsterdam. Not all is like in this video
zwarte piet? do your research man it's not been without blackface characters for years
Zwarte Piet heeft NIETS te doen met blackface. Dit bestaat alleen maar in de hoofden van donkere racisten en hun blanke oikofobische helpertjes.....
Correction it has not been with only blackface
@@jvw8129 it has NOTHING to do with blackface....
blackface is an american thing, not a dutch thing.
the complainers have imported all their talking point from america too, and get funding from america.
@dawatcherz blackface is older the the US dumbass
Oliebollen
Gezel means companion, so gezellig is literally companionly.
Zwarte Piet/Black Piet (thankfully) hasn't been part of the Sinterklaas celebration in most of the country for years.
not true, and black victemism is destroying the party,, adults yellling in small kids faces they are racists,,, to me that gets you a ticket to auswich because you have no clue how to be an adult
I think the Dutch experience is in this video Amsterdam experience or big city experience for some of your points. Don’t give the culture in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag or Utrecht as being Dutch. More often than not this culture doesn’t exist where I live. And I don’t want to be identified with those “habits” they are as alien to me as they are to “foreigners” Some things you mention I have never seen or experienced myself. Don’t tar us with the same brush please. I am not Dutch, I am a Northern European Citizen 🤪🙃😜😃😃
I second this reaction. Try to go a little more than 30 miles from the coast. Not everything is tuned to tourists.
Gaap. Weer zo’n provinciaal in een video over Amsterdam. Zó voorspelbaar. En vaak ook dezelfde. 😂
@@on-the-pitch-p3w troll
Hoe to speak dutch😂😂😂
Gouda, Zaanse schans, Kinderdijk, Alkmaar, Edam.
You should hear it when you speak a Dutchie, sounds so different
Best cheese is Beemster
heretic!! 😛
Sinterklaas isnt Santa Claus, but is Dutch. And Santa Claus is from Russia
Shawn Rhymes here. I enjoyed this You Tube video of yours, but I will not give you a like, because the video cover picture had nothing to do with the content of the video. To me that dumb and giving the wrong impression. Aside from that there are other countries where bikes are a popular form of transportation.
Mag ik naar Amerika
Toch grappig hoe iemand die Engels spreekt Nederlandse woorden probeert uit te spreken.
Na mijn mening eet je haring altijd rauw.
Ik heb na mijn mening nooit ergens gezien dat ze gebakken haring hadden. Haring is na mijn mening altijd rauw.
Als je bij een visboer gaat vragen voor gebakken haring denk ik dat je of van de visboer commentaar gaat krijgen of van de mensen die om je heen staan. Linksom of rechtsom ga je waarschijnlijk oorlog krijgen als je dat gaat vragen 😂😂😂
Rauw bedoelt u. Rouw is na overlijden, hoewel de nabestaanden van de haring wellicht wel rouwen ;-)
Pan haring, zure haring/rolmops.
@@dukejohn2898 Gerookte haring.
@@Eftel-siteNl gebakken haring bestaat wel degelijk. En gerookte haring, gezouten haring, haring in zoetzuur,....
Please correct the image and tekst about “Piet” we have worked hard to move from racism and exploitation of the figure next to Sinterklaas.
If you would compare the image you used to the images you can find about the last “intocht” you will see we have moved on.
this kind of victemism is destroying our culture,, wich ofcourse only black people are entitled to.
You ruined the whole party. This proves that you also didn't read up on how it actually went. The bishop put naughty children in his basement.And that guy was white. I don't get why everything has to be made difficult. Many things have already changed otherwise it's racism. And when are you going to do something about Black Friday?No, nothing is being done about it, because we all think like sheep that we get a discount while we are being screwed hard. Long story short, leave everything as it was.Because who are the next victims the muslims because they have their parties like sugar fest. Will the party for the animals be on the doorstep because they slaughtered a sheep?In short, let everyone do their own thing
