So cool to see that you really grasped the concept of gezellig. But winter times, with a stamp pot on the couch with your loved ones and a good movie is also gezellig.
We are not 1.5 meter distance people, thats why its hard for us, we miss social contact, with everything, so every thing what you do is social contact. They said we can do this together. but....there is no together with 1.5 meter. but hey next year better :-)
I am missing my daughter... who lives in Amsterdam! I was supposed to fly over from Ottawa Canada and hang out with her in that beautiful city (like we have done before). Missing experiencing the vibe, architecture, history, food and art of the NL with my favourite girl.
Ek is van Suid Afrika, maar ek is mal oor Nederland rn Amsterdam in die Somer. Wonderful Video Joey. I miss my friends, I miss my family I miss going out.
I just miss the freedom of spontaneity. Like on a Sunday doing a city walk, visit a museum, go to the theatre, watching a movie or drinking coffee at a terrace and dine afterwards. You can do other things, like biking, hiking etc., but you need to plan almost everything, take your own lunch and research what the rules are. But it’s a small discomfort and adjustment on my part.
Nope, I have lived in NL all my life, and I've only been to Amsterdam like 2 times. I don't feel like I need to go there. There's so much more to find outside of the big cities.
Depends on what you are looking for. There are many great things and places to see and visit outside Amsterdam and Rotterdam (or even outside de Randstad). But I have to say nothing beats the museums, concert halls and some other cultural places in Amsterdam👌🏻👌🏻 And no, I’m not saying there aren’t any great cultural places to visit outside Amsterdam, but the ones there, are definitely a must visit! At least, if you are interested in those sort of things 😄
@@irenekusje I agree on that so much! The museums, the concert hall, and the canals are wonderful. And there are some other beautiful old buildings there as well. But definitely try to avoid the main shopping streets on the weekends, if you don't like crowds
HI Joey Jaq! When talking about cycling you forgot to mention the absolute freedom one feels without a bulky, ugly helmet.....hair flying in the wind....loved it! Now that I'm living back in Canada it's once again "helmet head" time. :-(
Boatlive is the live where I grew up. I think there where as much boats as there where households in the town I grew up in (in the polder next to Amsterdam). Love it
You can go outside without being in busy places tho. I just cycled to lots of places in the past month. I live in Groningen, so cycled to Winschoten, Lauwersoog, Leek and Pieterburen. It is so nice! And the best way to get a tan. I thought people were still allowed to go on boats as well.... Do you know those 'fietsknooppunten', those green plates with numbers that lead you to fun places
Oh Joey, I hate winter to, but the funny thing is that we haven't had a real winter since 2011🤣🤣I do hate the darkness of winter though... And another observation, you just miss 1 thing 😉you miss Gezelligheid. I can relate I think we all do.
I think i agree with you on everything we just could put it down as missing socializing in general. I also dont want to cal this the new normal i hope the good things wil go back to how it was before. But i do agree that we should look into how we could take care of eachother an our environment better in the future.
The thing I miss most at the moment are the fireworks. Like, each year around august, it starts with demonstrations, from small shows like a local dealer, to huge shows like Scheveningen. I am so afraid they will not go trough, so I am really miss them. Fireworks is my passion. And it's already hard, because people are getting to be haters because of lies and government restrictions, but still. Also I do miss the emergency events. Like normally around these times I've already been to different contests (ABWC) or open/112 dagen and so on. This year there is nothing like that. The only connection I still have with the emergency services are the emergency calls I photograph (partly as hobby, partly as a job, news photographer). There aren't even practise nights anymore. (And when those "oefeningen" are done, we always went to the bar in the fire house, and the night was SO much fun...If you are part of, even as just a photographer, , you really gonne enjoy it. Like, they see bad shit out there, and to compensate for that, it's always SUPER GEZELLIG if they get together for just a nigh of, drinks and talks. Also I do miss visiting my grandma's, And seeying my friends. But for the rest everything is quite normal. Go to work each day, go outside to take pictures of nature and so on, enjoy a nice icecream and so on. It's still possible, just a little bit of 1.5 meter distance is enough xD
What I really really really going to miss this summer is the Kermis at Tilburg, de Roze zaterdag and offcourse number 1....so going to miss the Amsterdam Pride which has been canceled. How will I ever survive this summer oh my God sweet Jezus above.
I'm from Nijmegen, the whole year I live towards the third week of july. Even though I'm not a party animal at all, I'm goin to miss De Vierdaagse and De Vierdaagsefeesten. The city is going to feel so emty and weird this year. For the past 4 years one of my best friends would stay at my place the whole week, and last year we finaly managed to persuade some other friend to come as well. They all underestimated the scale of the whole event and promised to stay longer this year. I was really looking forward to having my studentroom turned into a hotel for my friends and make fun memories, weird stuff always happens that week haha... I'm sad. :(
Oh ja, echt de vrijmibo's. Veel mag weer, maar met z'n alle afspreken in ons favo cafeetje voor een paar bitterballetjes en een wijntje mis ik mega erg. Your vids every now and then, help with this corona drag big time though, it's something I really look forward to and can relax with for a bit
"The vicious cold" wait, aren't you used to New York winters? It gets much colder there than in the Netherlands, afaik. Plus we have barely had a winter this time. I'm more concerned about the heat waves coming this summer.
I thought you would mention all the summer festivals and events. This summer will be so weird. Our main event of the summer, the huge fun fair, is cancelled. I have a love hate relationship with it because of the noise and the huge crowds and the mess afterwards but at the same time I do like the vibe, gezelligheid, people having a good time. Many years ago we went on holiday during the fun fair and all summer we had the idea something was missing so we never went on holiday again during that time as it's such a must go to thing but now there is nothing. Yes I will miss that a lot. And I also miss it just going to the shopping centre without being stressed of people going into your bubble.
Cant go outside? Mate, I was cycling around in Amsterdam centre on Saturday and it was paaaaacked. same thing for Thursday at teh beach. Sooo many people
Hey Joey, ik vind je kijk doorgaans graag naar je kanaal, meestal kan ik er wel om lachen, maar soms ben kun je ook zo onnodig miepen. Natuurlijk mist iedereen dingen, maar gewoon ff aanpassen en hopelijk kunnen we volgend jaar weer lekker genieten. Ondanks dat je deze keer unne mauwert bent, krijg je toch een "duimpje omhoog"!!
True but please, please be careful. Don't go overboard with it, otherwise it may take longer to go back to normal than necessary. We must build up slowly.
Terrasjes are back...and it's just not the same. Making reservations, plastic between the tables, no more than 4 people at one table 🥴 That's not gezellig.
Hola joei, porque no nos ensenas ejercicios que podamos bajar estomago Y cintura....ir al ginnasio ..da verguenza cuando debes tener mujeres estupendas, tipo vita en tus cursos...😊
As you know i am "old"...(Just turned 45 a week ago) and i like this silence (i am pretty shy)..Not really a terrasjes person but i get it why people like it...It's because of the nice drinks and food and people around you..AND the weather..Ohh that sun..lovely. What i do miss is that i was supposed to be in the US right now so i am sad about that but other then that i am pretty happy the way it is..My wife on the other hand is gonna need some time away from the house. (she works at home all the time even before corona) So it is a problem to go somewhere for a week or 2..But hey i'll make it work.. Great vlog Joey Hasta la pasta babe 😘
So cool to see that you really grasped the concept of gezellig. But winter times, with a stamp pot on the couch with your loved ones and a good movie is also gezellig.
This was too cute, because basically what you're saying is you miss the connection with people no matter what......

I miss the terrasjes so much!
I've lived in the NL for two years now, and I've never been to Amsterdam/ Rotterdam. I don't think I'm missing out on anything. Am I wrong?
Nope, I have lived in NL all my life, and I've only been to Amsterdam like 2 times. I don't feel like I need to go there. There's so much more to find outside of the big cities.
Amanda Peek Nope... Come to Groningen or Zwolle, much nicer people! ;-D

Being a little tipsy, biking around, meeting people, terrasje pakken. That to me is the Netherlands in a nutshell. Well said!!! And "gezelligheid"!

I'm not a person to sit outside in front of a restaurant, but I miss seeing it. The streets are so empty without people sitting outside on a terrace.
I think you're cool Joey keep it going !
Oh ja, echt de vrijmibo's. Veel mag weer, maar met z'n alle afspreken in ons favo cafeetje voor een paar bitterballetjes en een wijntje mis ik mega erg.
Your vids every now and then, help with this corona drag big time though, it's something I really look forward to and can relax with for a bit
We call it American frisaus, you can often buy it in a Dutch MC Donald's
But was thinking last, is it realy American?
Great Volg! It took me about half an hour to figure out what a you meant by vrijmibo though :)
Wat ik mis is borrelen met vrienden en met de trein naar verschillende steden in Nederland gaan voor een dagje weg en vooral mijn ouders.
Move to the country side (Frysland) we can go boating anytime we want over here. and so much nicer than those stinking sewers that are the grachten.
"The vicious cold" wait, aren't you used to New York winters?
It gets much colder there than in the Netherlands, afaik.
Plus we have barely had a winter this time. I'm more concerned about the heat waves coming this summer.
@Thatshow ED I was quoting what he said between 05:00 and 05:13. He was talking about the temperature.
edit for spelling.
You do know Joey is a) originally from balmy Texas and b) trying to be a bit dramatic, right? ;)
@@Nynke_K Fair points.
I miss the connections with other people the most. I'm a "gezelligheidsdier" and want to have fun with my friends, just like you.
Missing you ;-) where are you? Come to Delft some time. Beautiful city and my birthplace. Sort of little Amsterdam, and many terrasjes ;-)
Miss you guys too! New vlog tomorrow! ❤️❤️

Ik mis de terrasjes, Ik mis de gezelligheid in de stad en de leuke dingen dingen die ze voor het weekend organiseren in de stad.
Dude, who says you cannot bike through the city?
Cant go outside? Mate, I was cycling around in Amsterdam centre on Saturday and it was paaaaacked. same thing for Thursday at teh beach. Sooo many people
That's exactly why you can't really go outside. Poor city dwellers!
raising my handS about missing everything
I miss my friends to. It's boring!
Koningsdag en bevrijdingsfestival :(
Je kan gewoon varen nu hoor
En fietsen ook, t is lekker weer en je kan een lekker drankje en eten meenemen en gaan picknicken
Dat is toch heel wat anders dan lekker op een terrasje zitten en mensen ontmoeten
You know, I'm missing walking the streets of gold in Hilversum. There is the mysterious temple...
I miss doing groceries without a stupid cart when you only need one or two things.
My hair is exploding but this Friday i can finally go back to my short and sweet haircut.
The one dislike is someone who doesn't like summer🤣
I'm sorry what you say in the minute 1:40 to 1:48 , I don't understand but I wanna know jeje
I just wanna say you have a amazing beautiful glowin skin what is your secret 😍😍😍😍 love your videos so much..
♥️
The first summer after we get a vaccine (2022?) is going to be sooooo epic!
First! I miss going to our holiday farm to be wild and free! 🧚♀️
@Ad Lockhorst lol
@Ad Lockhorst Yes. Ofcourse. All day, every day.

Zonder mauwerds is er ook niks aan. Soms moet je het ff kwijt, gelukkig kunnen we dat wel delen. Hoe heerlijk is dat😉😊
@@JannekeBruines Ja, helpt hem nog maar!!! Denkt ie helemaal dat ie het menneke is... :-)
Lang leve Friesland echt al meer dan een week geen nieuwe corona gevallen in de provincie en iedereen gaat naar buiten
Only one week and you go sit on terraces again, and you can go out for a walk and stuff!
True but please, please be careful. Don't go overboard with it, otherwise it may take longer to go back to normal than necessary. We must build up slowly.
Gewoon lekker fietsen joh, en een bootje huren kan ook buiten amsterdam lekker de provincie in. 😃
"de provincie" cringe
Terrasjes are back...and it's just not the same. Making reservations, plastic between the tables, no more than 4 people at one table 🥴 That's not gezellig.
Such a funny accent. :-)
Je Nederlands wordt steeds beter, Joey! Maarre.... je kunt echt wel naar buiten hoor! Enjoy :-)
