    Double decker trains are needed for busy routes on busy times. Making the train longer would force the platform to be longer, if the space to do so is there it would still mean a longer walk to the next train, so the schedulefor connections can't be as tight.

    I trust the medical field of the Netherlands with my life I had personal experience with it in the Netherlands and they are super professional and compassionate I'm not saying this because I'm born and raised in the Netherlands I truly believe it.
    I have been all around the world (job related) and experienced it my self in other countries I just love my country.
    my parents are marocain and they feel the same way I really believe that the Netherlands is the best country in the world I'm not saying this just for saying it. after having children (4the generation)im thankful that my parents and grandparents made the Netherlands there home I proud of the Netherlands and there people and I will always say that sometime people also my friends complain about this that are important but I always say how good we have in in my country the Netherlands and sometimes it's good to stand still and count your blessings we have it extremely good in the Netherlands compared to other countries so yes I'm proud of my country and it's people and my opinion is that the Netherlands is the best country in the world and not anyone would agree with me but that's also the Netherlands opinions are welkome for sure I have nothing bud ❤❤for my country and I'm proud of it.

    What's important about the British rail network is that bridges and tunnels simply don't have the height to support double decker trains. Loading gauge in the UK is one of the most restrictive in the world.

    As a Dutch person: Don't forget that you may have a smaller home, but if you stay away from the major cities, you can rent a house for 300-400 dollar per month, that has 2 bedrooms at least and all conveniences. for 500 per month (Dollars and Euros counted as same value) you have a back and front garden and 4 bedrooms. Amsterdam and major cities will be much more expensive. Besides that, if your rent is up to 615 euros, you get rentsurcharge back from the government, up to 300 euros, so you still pay max 400.
    Buying can be 75K - 200K for the same house. Which is rather cheap, you only pay about 10% and the rest you pay over time .. say 20 years. and you can take that value of course as mortgage. Lot of people rent, as its so cheap, but investing in housing can be really lucrative as most places can expect a raise in value of 20% in 10 years, especially if you did some restructuring.

    The Dutch are tall because of genetics, and food (dairy products). As for the pronounciation of "Oosterscheldekering" the last -kering part was good. The first part needs a lot of practice still, I am afraid.

    16:55 More or less, yes. Back when we were mostly agricultural, the farmers’ movement was powerful enough to dictate government policies. It still is to a decisive amount. So when the NL got gas and industry and such, way back, they steered the country towards food production. Just looking after number one, of course, but it was actually a smart move. NASA may have got to the moon, Russia may have a lot of tanks, but we have food. What do you need most?

    It actually makes a lot of sense why homes in Europe (and Asia etc) are small and homes in the USA and Canada are large. In Europe the community is more tight, people go outside more often, you go to the city center to grab a drink spontaneously, or go out to eat on the terrace, in cities like Barcelona you have those beautiful little plazas where locals sit together and get some shade from the heat. The people go to the 'third place' as Not Just Bikes explained in a video recently. People are much more often outside. On top of it, you don't need it at home - because in the USA the library is most likely not nearby you, you'd have to drive. Or the pool, the grocery store, you can't be like 'hey let's meet in the city center' and decide 'you know what? Let's go eat at a restaurant then grab a movie' and go on foot, like we can. You'd have to drive, most likely to both locations. Which is really unfortunate.
    So, American people bring it home, because that is the most convenient. It makes total sense, I would too if I had to drive to the library, drive to do groceries, drive to get a drink, drive to eat, drive to the movies, drive drive drive. And quite far too let's be honest. It's ridiculous. If I just consider for a moment what I've got near by to do on foot (radius of 5 minutes) it's insane. A pool, gym, library, like 20 stores from glasses to shoes to children's clothes to a bike shop, gp, dentist, pharmacy, 4 grocery stores, 5 (!) preschools, 2 high schools, a cinema, theater (you know, for the classic drama kids), soccer hockey and tennis fields on the other side, oh and I forgot a train station. And I'm on the highway in less than 5 minutes too. We have a really small refrigerator because I can walk, so me and my SO tend to pick up things we need on our way home from work. It's maybe 5-10 minutes, while a lot of American people would be away for an hour just to buy food. I totally get it why they have a big refrigerator. But of course you want a big house too, because it would never fit here lol.
    We don't need all that at home. I hope what I wrote kind of made sense? Like, how people tend to go on vacation to visit places and have nice activities, we do that in our daily life too especially on the weekends. Our vacations or daily life is actually fairly similar, the only thing removed is our job and we're somewhere else where we get to experience the history and culture of that place. But we do the same stuff.
    So yeah, zero blame, I totally get it. But personally? Me and my SO had a choice to live in a very large house (very large for Dutch standards), or live smaller but with basically everything we could wish for near. We choose to live smaller instead. Still have a decent garden, but the convenience to walk or bike whenever wherever and just walk to the train station and end up in Paris, Amsterdam, in England or Berlin is so powerful, we couldn't care less for that 'extra space'. But in the USA, you rarely have this choice at all. So the choice is an easy one, of course you'd go bigger.
    (Idk about Brazil much though, I've not been there yet, but the UK has lovely homes as well, really cozy and the people are so nice!).

      I’m afraid it’s all about zoning. People in Europe go out to bars etc. bc they are nearby. In the US and Canada there primarily is single house zoning, where ‘third places’ aren’t allowed.

With out counting Russia , its Europes 9th most populated country romania has 19 milion at place 8 and is several times bigger. it has half the population numbers of Poland . With the benelux union there are 30 milion people living in an area that is 1/3rd of great britian and 1/3 of the population of germany and half of the french population . Not many people is a bit of misnomer as there are 545 people per km2 .

    There is a lot of water in the Netherlands. I first also had my swimming certificates A, B, C. and extra Redding swimming certificates. and my boat license 10 months before my driver's license. Water is really a thing in the Netherlands. We also have asylum seekers who cannot swim. And still look for cooling in the water. #scouting the netherlands #scouting the eempad

    hi im a dutchy from Amsterdam. 2.40 the commute as discribed is in all the big cities and many small cities, not only in Amsterdam and we dont bike to the trams and busses maybe only to long distance busses and definitely to the trains because public transport is everywhere and the outside parking is free and most indoor bike parking is free for the first 24 hours and than a few euros for every day after.
    5.00 about 10.000-15.000 bikes are stolen every year in Amsterdam alone. there are criminal organisations (mostly from other countries in europe) that roam the streets with small vans that steel bikes to export them and the occational junky in need of a fix might steel a bike and sell it
    5.30 the protest movement against cars called stop de kindermoord ( stop the childmurders) didnt start in rotterdam but in amsterdam but it spread all over the country
    6.10 the height of the dutch comes from natural selection (large people are attracted to large people and get large children)
    10.40 that is the same Antwerp indeed
    14.40 Presidents traveling to different countries to find solutions for the problems in their countries would be awesome. the world would be so much better if we help each other out but im afraid its not going to happen in our lifetime or ever, i really ike your videos thank you

    Cycling does not influence the hight of a person, however stress during pregnancy does, women with less stress give birth to children that grow taller.
    It could be that cycling reduces stress, so it might have an indirect influence.

    Im 6.23 into your video atm.
    Im Dutch, I live at the bottom of the former Southernsea~18 ft below sea level. Our country is for about 40% below sea level, the NL is essentialy a river delta. We have to have a good infrastructure against the water, that needed good planning ahead. It needs to be maintained and upgraded well. Im not tall 174 cm and shrinking, biking does not help getting tall😁 Biking is healthy, relaxing, quite silent and cheap, cars needs lots of space, they polute, make noise etc. So many reasons why the NL is reasonably well planned, mostly because we i.g.were/are quite pragmatic. ' You can only spend your money once' is a very Dutch expression😊

    Funnily enough, the Dutch were present in Brazil in the 17th century:
    Dutch Brazil (Dutch: Nederlands-Brazilië), also known as New Holland (Dutch: Nieuw-Holland), was a colony of the Dutch Republic in the northeastern portion of modern-day Brazil, controlled from 1630 to 1654 during Dutch colonization of the Americas. The main cities of the colony were the capital Mauritsstad (today part of Recife), Frederikstadt (João Pessoa), Nieuw Amsterdam (Natal), Saint Louis (São Luís), São Cristóvão, Fort Schoonenborch (Fortaleza), Sirinhaém, and Olinda. (From the Wikipedia article on Dutch Brazil).
    Unfortunately the Portuguese kicked us out in 1654, though we did try to get our former holdings back until we finally gave up in 1661.

    Living in the Netherlands much of the mentioned infrastructure is under stress these days. Like a Dutch civil engineer remarked some time ago - The Netherlands were designed to house about 12 million people comfortably - we are are no approaching the 18 million mark.

    The reason we're so tall is because evolution, tall people were more fit and heathier then short people so we outbread short people.
    You did great on the oosterscheldekering pronunciation! better then the guy in the other video. the oo sound at the beginning is more like the oa sound in boat and the sch in schelde is like... I don't know an english word to compare that with... oh yes, the sh sound at the end of English is pretty close.
