- Ahoy there, Rotterdam adventurer! Get ready for a delightful Dutch escapade in this vibrant city.
🍽️ First stop: The food hall at Blaak Markt. Dive into a smorgasbord of culinary delights, from Bitterballen (crispy, creamy Dutch snacks) to Droop Licorice (an acquired taste but worth a try). Be sure not to skip the Kroketten right when you enter the hall and compare all the different stroop wafel styles from different parts of the country.
🏠 Next, swing by the quirky Cube Houses. These tilted abodes are Instagram gold and offer a fun photo op. Don't forget to explore inside one if you can!
🌊 Feeling peckish? Head to the Old Bay Area for dinner on the water. Enjoy fresh seafood and breathtaking views of Rotterdam's skyline reflected on the Maas River.
💦 For some urban nature, chase the hidden gem - the waterfall in the city center. A serene spot to take a break and soak in the sounds of cascading water.
🌆 Visit Euromast Park and make your way up the iconic Euromast tower for panoramic views. It's like standing on top of the world! Spend a lady afternoon at the park with the locals.
🥖 Finally, end your day at the Urban Bakery for a sweet treat - the BEST coffee and ice cream that we found in all our travels!
Rotterdam is a treasure trove of flavors and sights. Bon appétit and happy exploring! 🌍🇳🇱
Where we stayed: air.tl/Co3A837k
At 14:34 minutes you forget to mention the big white building in front of you, build in 1897 after a skyscraper in the USA and was at that time the largest office building in Europe
Just ended up here randomly by watching many "experiencing..." videos and super surprised to see my neighborhood i grew up in is your holiday stay, de Esch in Rotterdam ❤ so cool!
that's awesome!
LOVED the video i live in the netherlands so it is fun to see you and youre famm having a good time Here !!!!
thank you, it was so fun to see
My great grandfather worked at that water tower back in the day, she's a beauty!
So gorgeous. I loved waking up and seeing it each day
My grandfather used to have his office there when he was working for "Rijkswaterstaat".
Thanks to the Germans in ww2 we could totally redesign the city center of Rotterdam😂
not the best is it?
By the way. Compliments for your very conscious and wise kids👊.❤ from Rotterdam
Thank you! 😃
Many places i'm familair with. It seems you stayed most in the centre of the city, or De Esch Kralingen where you slept and/or Vijverhofkwartier in het Oude Noorden. The only real historical part of the city who fully survived the bombardment by the Germans in 1940 at the start of WWII is Delfshaven. This location is even related to the ship the Mayflower of the Pilgrims and the Pilgrimschurch. It was on 20min walk distance or 6mins with tram 4 + a few mins walk from Eendrachtsplein/Westersingel heading to Heemraadsplein.
very cool, would love to go back and explore meore
Hi! Within seconds in your video, it was obvious you're from Dutch offspring. And your genes must be strong as well. Your kids just act like those over here. Blunt as Dutch. Thanks for sharing your experiences! I almost feel sorry for your husband as he didn't get a good spotlight 🤣🤣
thank you, I am very proud of my heritage
in my foreign opinion they should sell it without the sirup yiou choose your flavour or not, eat it pure.
Bram ladage fries are like the best fries in the world
Rotterdam Super clean?? 😂🤣🤣🤣 think you not been in South of Rotterdam XD ghehehehe
it was very clean and nice
Nice that you are so positive about our city. Just a question; when you ask what everybody thinks of the city (first three minutes) and your husband starts answering, you ignore him completely. What’s that about? Just about you huh? Terrible
we communicate how we communicate
Don’t even mention Amsterdam while visiting Rotterdam. Don’t want to be negative about our capital, but the difference is like day and night.
I prefer my frites with mayonnaise, sateh sauce (spicy peanut sauce) and onions.
lol settle down
This city is the city of people really have terrertorial bluf of the city Rotterdam, like hooligans of football club Feyenoord. But believe me theres no need to fight them because they just one city complot, only bluffing but they doing nothing. They just never admidd there lost. And so they will hold you on a line forever. They rather die instead.
sounds like it
You kind of look like a Dutch celebrity. Her name is Chantal Janzen. :)
I've been told this, I definitely see the resemblanc3
Thanks for visiting Rotterdam and enjoying your time here! I love the market hall, the food is expensive but very nice. If you want a taste of pre-war Rotterdam, visit Delfthaven. 😊
thank you, we did go to delfthaven and loved visiting nederlands
DELFShaven! The harbour of Delft, as that city itself had no good transfer points themselves back in the middle ages. So they had a port near the Maas, and stuff was being hauled over on smaller ships up the Schie and into Delft.
sorry, you can't stay here , your kids didn;t pass the drop exam
😅😅😅
You have those drop coins in a sweet version as well. Giving them salty drop is just pure evil. Hahahaha
Rotterdam 🙌🙌🫶🫶🫶
thanks for your positive words about my city. i was born here and will die here. tell others in america. so they learn that the world is bigger than america
I agree!
The boat that you were sleeping is in the neighborhood called de Esch. This used to be known for its water treatment and pipelines and there are numerous large bassins, also underground
such a neat place
if you give liquorice to kids nexttime give them honing drop , from the company venco
we'll need to try it
In the markethall are penthouses for like 1.000.000 euro
thank you! I was super curious
Thanks, i appreciate you agree.
any time
Go look at Delft and Den Haag, close by, real cities, with a heart..
we did, they were great
Ok, I correct myself. Dutch kids love black licorice. Won't say they'd fight for it getting some. My grandfather played this game with us, save the "drop" as long as you can in your mouth and if you still have it, as small as it is, as last, you win. Love it.
Love the kids ractions... so real... no inhibitions... love it...
thank you, they are the best
I was Born in Rotterdam 👶thank you to promote our city💋🌝🍦
our pleasure
You are a lovely family, pleased you liked our city!
thank you! ❤️
Glad you liked our town! Come again 😊
thank you, we hope to return soon
@@teepsfam Give us a shout, we'll show you off the beaten track
You don't chew centendrop... you suck on it 🙂
Makes way more sense
R'dam south ('the hood'), has a nice multicultural market on the Afrikaanderplein.
And the famous stadium in the background behind the dull barges😂
Your reaction to drop (liquorice) being to salty you got the wrong taste because there’s sweet licorice as well, and they’re is krijtjesdrop which has a exterior of mint, and then you have honey drop and Laurier drop and they are not salty if you grew up with licorice, you probably would’ve loved it most people in the Netherlands are addicted
we wanted them to try what my opa loved 🤣🤣
You look like our Chantal Janzen! That's a compliment btw. Keep up the video's with the fam! Love it. Maybe you already explained it in some of your earlier video's , but I heard your great uncles are dutch? So your father or mother is dutch?Would love to hear some more about this. Hope your kids also loved the Netherlands and maybe the can come back one day when they are older😄
thank you, I definitely see it
poffertjes are special, because they are made from buckwheat (partially at least), and yeast.
You really look Dutch.👌
pretty strong genetics!
Rotterdam clean? Right..... Well Amsterdam is even filthier...right... And Lelystad is the worst..
look3d very nice to us
I live right opposite the cube houses and I always love it when I see my neighborhood on videos such as yours. We love living in the centre of Rotterdam and we've been living here for 23 years now. Glad you liked it so much. Rotterdam is an awesome city for skateboarding btw.
Ahh we should have taken out the skateboard! What a beautiful part of the city you live in. We also loved the shopping just beyond the blak markt but we got to busy buying cute clothes to film.
I don’t know if you did it on purpose, but Rotterdam is “the” chance to teach your children about the sad effects of WW2!
we often talk about my omas time there during ww2 and the terrible destruction and awful things she faced
My dad’s family comes from Rotterdam. The very close to the bombarded areas. All of them, grandparents, my dad, his brothers and sisters did suffer from PTSS. All of them had specific problems in their life’s. As a child, you don’t see it. Children are loyal to the bone, until they know better. My grandma ended up in prison, arrested by Germans. They did hide jewels and ‘underground’ resistance persons. The fact that the city center is relative modern comes from a huge area, bombarded relentless by the Germans. However, modern Rotterdam is beautiful. Have fun!
@@basdebruin2355Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@basdebruin2355You forget the massive bombing by the Americans and Brits. Even more then the Germans. And Rotterdam demolished there own buildings.
super vlog! cool city!
thank you! we loved it
You look so Dutch
thank you, most of my DNA is
What a nice reaction Video. I love to see your family enjoying the experiences. Keep loving the life!
Thank you! Will do!
No. Dutch licorice has many many sweet ones! Kokindjes are small, soft and sweet. Honey/Honing drop is also sweet. If you find the yellow ones, they're even more gentle.
We did enjoy many varieties. The super salty we thought would lead to the best reaction and makes mom feel at home since her Opa always had it around. It's so unique
I get that the reaction is great for content, but I'd love to have seen them try some licorice they might actually like. Now they've got this horrible taste experience, and the chance of them ever liking licorice is like 2%? .... It's just sad to always see the YUCK response, when there are also yummy ones, even for those not used to the taste.
@@teepsfam
@@teepsfam The little black cubes with "DZ" on them are the best....DZ stand for Dubbel Zout (--> Double Salt). If you can handle those........you're truly Dutch regardless of what your passport says !!!!!!!!! 🙂🙂
Fun video btw....Enoy your trip through NL and Europe 👍
What a great family I love that you are showing them the world even though they cannot comprehend it fully or appreciate it but I still think very fondly of my parents taking me around the world and seeing all these historic sites and great places !
So do I. But I don't recall my parents putting my face all over the internet without my adult consent. Wonder what their kids will do if they find their faces on an AI generated porn site...
@@TheCriticalPolitician Yeah that is a HUGE difference from when I was young. Didn't have all those smartphone camera's and mobile internet connections and social media. I think kids today must be used to just being out there on the internet. As for consent I really don't know I think kids today are just way more comfortable with it in general. I doubt the parents would do it if one of the kids didn't want to be filmed.
@@rolandxor179I see your point, but they're kids. What do they know about the risks involved. I'm sure the parents mean no harm but nevertheless: they should know better.
@@TheCriticalPolitician I think when it comes to AI generated (child) porn you just have to let law enforcement deal with it. As a parent you cannot just hide your children. And why should they be the ones hiding and not the paedos and perverts ?
@@rolandxor179You're so right. I'd like a perfect world too. We will ask all perverts to hide in closets so we can put our children on RUclips to fund our travels. Sorry mate, but this planet doesn't work like that.
I loved to see you guys exploring my home country. It might be a little bit off topic, but the teepsfam has the most beautiful mom, who reminds me a little bit of a younger Ashley Judd, whom I also ❤ You guys have a lovely family. Keep up the fun vids 😊👍🏻
That's so sweet. Thank you for the kind words, they are truly appreciated
True.... our Hagelslag is like real chocolate.... not the sugar/chocolate flavourered decoration for cakes.. more smoooth....more chocolatly.... more delicious....
I love them!
How much ENJOYED YOUR SHOW
Wish you were in my city Maastricht
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greetings from Maastricht
we actually wanted to go there but couldn't fit it in this time
I love watching international families traveling the world. You guys are awesome and I love the kids. They are cool and enjoying where they are and what they see. I've been on holidays with my parents to a camping near where I live, but never to foreign countries. This is golden for the kids, to see foreign countries and cultures and especially people. This is something they will cherisch for the rest of their lives. They probably don't know yet 😅 I've been to many Europeaan countries, but never to the US or Canada. Would love to visit some time, but it's probably not going to happen. Enjoy your time together and enjoy each country you visit. Google will probably show me more videos of you, so I'll be following you guys for a while. Have fun guys. I'm jealous haha 🎉😊
thank you! no time like to present to go! 😃
Have you been stopped by people telling you that you look like a Dutch celebrity named ''Chantal Janzen''? I think you really look like her! Anyways, glad you enjoyed my hometown! (:
no one has told me that, I'll look her up
If it's in the south of R'dam, then it's indeed across the river!
😂😂Vijverhofdwarsstraat!
Funny to see the kids sitting on the grass, very relaxed but afraid of what's coming next. "Put it in your mouth" hahaha..
The city has lost its center due to the WWII bombing, but the last decades they managed to change and rebuild a lot, all for the better.
Great video by the way!
thank you, it was very great to visit
Biggest watertower in the Netherlands
First time i saw one of ur video's, but gotta say: what an awesome vlog! I'm a Dutchie, not from R'dam tho. You are such nice positive happy woman, i luv it!! Wanted to say you all look kinda Dutch, but i heard yall got them roots here! I'm originally from the north where ppl are a bit more grumpy (because of sometimes the harse weather)... maybe, i just like to be happy and wanna come across as friendly and happy. That watertower was prob to provide water for all surrounding buildings and houses back in the days, after they put in windows and ppl life in them, pretty cool. Gonna look at some vods of you and ur lovely family! 😸 I wish i was that young again. Ow yeah licorice is great for a soar throat after a flu or a cold, i like the honey drop the best. Btw i hope yall checked out the pastery Tompuce/Tompoes, Poffertjes (mini pancakes) and our Dutch applepie is great i think! 😺 Ow i see yall are already in Belgium i see, ok no worries. Groetjes/Greetings!!
thank you, we love to travel and share what we find
Tried to follow the link you published regarding the das projekt, doesn't work as a link to something: there isn't an identified server at all... Thought you should know.
Oh, I didn't realize it was still up. Ita about 13 years old so we'll go clean up the page. Thanks for the heads up
Hagelslag is indeed not chocolate sprinkles!
I suggest Breda in the Netherlands 😉
Thanks for showing my home town, looks like you enjoyed it! - well, licorice and saying Vijverhofdwarsstraat not so much. 😆
we had a blast there, I. always wanted to visit where my grandma was raised.
Nice to see the city i help to rebuild for the last 30 years as a carpenter.
You have a lovely family and i hope you guys enjoyd your stay :)
Greetz from a way more beautifal city Breda hehe ;p
thank you
These americans seem like they are coming from usa jungle! Everything is amazing!!!!😂And whats the big deal about wearing caps everyday?🤪🤪🤪🤪
deep in the rocky mountains actually.
we wear what we want and don't worry about it
I don’t know a place rotter then…
"We are just eating our way through countries!" 😂 Nice family, happy days 🇳🇱😁👍🏻
food is life 🤣🤣🤣
Charming and refreshing presentation of Rotterdam. Such a lovely family.😊
thank you!
?
She is beautiful!!
thank you
@@teepsfamThis is Chantal Janzen .
@@daluzsoares many people have said that about her
I love it, how you appreciate everything Rotterdam and the Netherlands have to offer. And Indeed, Rotterdam is not, unlike other cities in the Netherlands. Also enjoyable to see, how you kids react on the diverse Dutch foodsnacks.
thank you, it's all about the little things
Goddamn, we made it Rotterdam!
25:24 lol ... ❤❤😘😘
Wow, you are crazy knowledgeable about my city, you probably must have read a lot prior before comin. Good job! Hope y'all had a good time, sorry about that festival (wasn't a very calm welcome in that area but they should have ended at 23:00 anyway) en tot de volgende keer in 010 !
The festival was so fun, and did end promptly on time. We went and had a great time. We love Rotterdam. It's where our Oma was born so after years of hearing about it, it was so good to experience the city for ourselves.
@@teepsfam My oma was born there too, and lived in Zuidwijk where my mother was born! It is a special city once you have a connection with it, and you will have it in your heart. Therefore, you are probably a Rotterdammer anyway (or Rotterdamse when said in female form).
Watched it again after 10 months. Great video ❤
thanks so much! we Ned to go back
Thank you for visiting my hometown.
we loved it, my omas hometown as well
Where does the Dutch roots came from?
grandparents were immigrants
The Markthal is so kitsch and ugly, but hey Rotterdammers love it.
Vijverhofdwarsstraat = Vijver (pond) hof (court) dwars (thwarted) straat (street) making it the pondcourtthwartedstreet
Hotel New York is a N American history.
seems to be
You are the pretty version of "our" Chantal Janzen! With ❤ from Schiedam.
Haha same thoughts here 😊
very kind of you, she looks pretty to me
@@teepsfamI think you are 10 x more pretty and funny. Is this bearded man your partner? Aaaaah.😉
funny mama looks like a.. with al that make up and the daughter is clean like it should be
not sure what you mean
Where dit your Oma grew up? Did you know the street name?
I'm not sure the street
@@teepsfam Okay, maybe we could locate your roots ;-)
How nice. I live in Rotterdam. Where do you guys coming from?
united states
@@teepsfamHi you are so cute and nice. Visit me in the capital. Amsterdam. On a boat. Just the two of us… 😊
As a 'Rotterdammer' this video is fun to watch ... Thanks for visiting our city ... stay healthy all ... Hugs, André
we loved out visit
It is funny to see that you guys are about the only ones wearing a baseballcap.
yep, we love our American style
@@teepsfam
Of course, you have the constitutional right to do so.
Did you by the way know that your constitution was based on ours? Yep, I'm not kidding.
And the Netherlands was also the first country to officially recognize the United States of America as a sovereign nation.
That was after we had ignored the English blockade for years to do business with you by selling the ammunition and guns you guys so desperately needed to get the upper hand and gain your independence.
I have no idea why I'm telling you all of this.
I guess it's just a nice story that (quote) "deserves to be remembered".
Morocco missed you son much🇲🇦🇲🇦♥♥
we miss morocco
"Vijverhofdwarsstraat" Vijver hof dwars straat Pond garden cross street
Nice kids.
thanks, they are great
Stroopwafels on the outdoor markets are the best. For snacks go to the FEBO.
In Rotterdam Bram Ladage is the only place that counts.
@@urbandiscount Exactly, FEBO doe je maar lekker in Amsterdam ;)
I'm taking notes for next time around
Thanks for the tip!
Living in Sweden now but Rotterdam is my hometown and miss it, nice to see you guys enjoyed it so much. And mom is sooo beautiful 😅
thank you
Did you realize behind the windows in the market hall there are apartments?
Yes! Not til we walked outside though! What a beautiful use of architecture and combining community and housing
Greetings from Rotterdam. You are great ambassadors❤
thank you
Have you been to the Eendrachtsplein?
No we haven't, well have to look I to it
I'm addicted to drop aka licorice especially the hard salty ones. 😂
We are one out of 5 for liking the saltiness 😄
Very nice to see you enjoyed Rotterdam! I remember going to Rotterdam sometimes as a kid around 1990 when the city was a lot rougher, but I was just as amazed by the weird buildings such as the cube houses :) I live in Rotterdam now, but back then I lived in Delft. And so cool you could stay on that boat!
8:02 You might also like peanut sauce, another populair Dutch sauce (with Indonesian roots). Combined with mayo, it's called "patatje oorlog" (meaning fries "war").
We have heard of the peanut sauce, and actually eaten it in the states from an inport store but the fries war mix is a new one, we'll have to give it a go. Delft is beautiful. Excellent choices of cities to live in
@@teepsfam lol @ fries war... you can explain that several ways... Wat Fries is somewhat better, but Patatje Oorlog really doesn't translate well. Just as a Kapsalon... being all in the States and asking for a Barbershop... :P It is delicious though.
Great video
thank you so much we love to see the world!
Dad must feel that he is being outvoted allot is the gist i get from watching the entire video :D Happy you had a good time
Not at all, we all have different places that light us up. This one, mom was all about
@@teepsfam just joking was just banter i actually like in a couple don't take it the wrong way :)
Welcome in my city.
thanks, we loved it
Here at 2.4 k, see you at 100k
Ahh thanks. Working hard to get there.
Lovely gezellig 😁!
Our favorite Dutch word!
I just live outside Rotterdam ( Rotjeknor) and I love it’s versatility.
Not surprised that the kids didnt like the liquorice 😂😂😂 it’s an acquired taste isn’t it
Did you let them try raw herring too?
Enjoy the rest of your stay in the Netherlands
i never get this stuff. im dutch and ive never ate raw herring in my life. seems gross, its not as a local think as foreigners think lol.
also many dutch only like sweet liquorice, not the bitter or salty ones.
@@geertmajoor I love liquorice, although I rarely eat candy nowadays. But there's some different kinds, and some of it has a very particular taste that I also don't like (for example those really hard ones branded as "classic" or "old" style)
But man I love raw herring ♥ got me one today as well 😆But it's one of those things you hate or love, I know a lot of people from both sides (among those also some expats who love it, and Dutch people who hate it)
The only regrets we had were 1. Not enough time to do more in the city and the surrounding area and 2. Not eating the herring. We need to go back and try again
@@geertmajoor That’s the problem with a lot of people. You don’t eat it because you THINK you don’t like it. But how can you be so sure if you have never actually tried it?
@@geertmajoorGa nu naar de visboer en koop er 1!!!! Heeeeeeerlijk!!! en anders eet ik hem wel voor je op😋
What a nice video.
You are so kind
I missed the name of the best ice cream shop
Urban bakery
Thank you. I have a mission now :)@@teepsfam
❤👍
Thanks for watching!!!
14:35, great mom here.
Love that
she's the best
Probably she is 😅
Amsterdam and Rotterdam, congratulations you visited the worst two cities in The Netherlands..lol
thank you, we enjoyed them quite well ❤️
How was your stay in little Morocco??
we loved out time in morocco
