I don't get how you are this unprepared when you move to another country for work and living... not even a simple translate app, not having a basic list of words you need most (like what the Dutch words for your food are). Amazing. You do know we all also speak english right? we don't bite, you can ask things.
@@bghettovlogs2064 Ah, yeah that is ample time to prepare. :) As you might guess this was the first video I saw of you so perhaps you mentioned that in other videos. My advice of course still stands. Just ask the people if you are unsure or are looking for something specific. 90% of the population will speak at least a basic level of English. And those translate apps nowadays are often "point with camera, read translation" Welcome to the Netherlands, enjoy your time. Rmember, we are a country of work hard and then take the time to play harder. (Work life balance and such), not work work work.
Hey Blake, a great way to understand the language on menus or at shops etc is on Google translate have it on Dutch to English and then use the photo feature so then it gives you the exact same photo but the whole menu etc is in English .
It’s good to see you’re enjoying yourself after a massive change mate! The captain of the Dutch men’s team is an Aussie so hopefully you can have a chat with him! Around the side streets in the Red Light District there is a heap of awesome restaurants all within a few blocks of each other.
Anne Franks house, one of the most eye opening experiences I’ve had. Zaanse Schans is like a Sovereign Hill. Heineken Brewery in Amsterdam. Van Gogh Museum. Do a red light district pub crawl tour.
Back in 2013 me and my partner at the time went to Europe and I went shopping in vienna and I ended up getting a dessert instead of the main meal I thought I got.lol
If any clips are silent, it’s because I had to mute for copy right reasons after it was posted. Apologies
