@@TheJubess when I started this RUclips channel, I was surprised by how many Dutchies actually watch my videos! Who would have guessed! I'm actually curious, if you are reading this as a non-Dutch person, share any emoji under this comment!
Good video. About the opening hours of stores, you understood this well and it's good to know this for people who are new to The Netherlands: people who work in the store are not your servant, they are business partners. You have your working hours, so do they. They're just regular people just like you. The store closes at (for example) six, not whenever you're done shopping. When you buy something during opening hours it's just a business transaction. They have the product you need, you have money. Exchange goods for money, done.
Thank you for watching! Exactly, that's how it works in the Netherlands. In some countries, the approach is different so it might take a bit to get used to the Dutch way.
Opening hours of shops are regulated by municipal law. Staying open 'after hours' is an economic violation because the shop would have an economic advantage over shops that close in time. It's got nofhing to do with flexibility.
@@Dirk-van-den-Berg it's my observation. Of course, please never assume that what I say applies to the 100% of the population, it's simply not possible :D
Please do not take this video serious. 1. one can chose to go to an unmanned register in a grocery shop. The majority of the people chose a register with a person. I have never seen robots handing out stuff in The Netherlands. So item is 100% false. 2.In the Netherlands in general people take their job, hobby or other works very serious. They never drop things because of the weather. In fact we do not let the weather change our work flow because then we would be changing all the time. item is 100% false. 3. true, most dutch speak better English then foreigners speak dutch. We don't care. we are practical and we like to practice our English and be helpful. We switch to English because that makes everything more efficient for everyone. We do not expect you to learn Dutch because it helps you only in 2 small countries of the whole world. This item was accurate. 4. Indeed not 24/7 but grocery shops are open till 21:00, 7 days a week everywhere so plenty of time after work. 5.Most shops let you in if you know what to grab. again your experience is NOT accurate for the country in general. 6.Yes lots of shops closing because they cannot compete with internet prices because webshops do not have to have expensive located shop space. 7. drinking a lot of beer, cycling...I had enough. way too many stereotypes that are just not representative for the Dutch avarage.

Real life is living in a polluted city with limited nature. You can't afford housing beyond a small apartment, and a house with land and no neighbors is out of reach. Food quality is poor, with high-quality options being very expensive and only available in other parts of the city. Healthcare is terrible, with almost no preventive care except mammograms. High immigration is another factor. The positives are good infrastructure and Dutch directness. Overall, it’s an overrated country. Another good thing is that you might make one or two Dutch friends. I did in my 15 years here, speaking fluent Dutch 🙃
Mammograms cause just as many cases of cancer as they detect/prevent (x-rays!). They used to do these, with movable labs everywhere, but overall it had no effect on the incidence of breast cancer. So why spend a boatload of money if it doesn't do anything. Same goes for many other types of preventative care, like yearly checkups. In some countries they do full body ct scans regularly, which give you a massive dose of ionizing radiation, which does way more harm than good.
According to World Population Review the Netherlands ranks as having the seventh best healthcare in the world, according to Statista fifth and USNEWS second after Japan.
Queue all the netherlands people who already know all this stuff but just want to hear a foreigner tell them again 🤣

Ik koop het liefst in een fysieke winkel. Online alleen als het moet. Voelen en ruiken is ook belangrijk 😅
Thank you for the nice informative video. My question is about their settlement of house.
@@rahullgamer2000 thank you for watching the video!
it s a deal to come there without any plan? looking for room and then for work?
@@fehresessee7900 for some people it won't work unfortunately. If you are not from the EU, this is not an option.
@@fehresessee7900 have you ever moved like this? Without a plan?
@@theselfishcodependent yes, i have already this experience, i m from Spain but i don t like the agencies and i prefer to live in city center
And not really socially accepted. We already have an issue with illegal immigrants.
@@Yarach yes but i will work legally bro, is all about the problem of housing
One of your first assumptions is that all Dutch drop everything when the sun is out.
I know plenty of people who don't.

Uhh, sounds like you've had a rather negative experience here, huh? What makes you stay here? Dutch infrastructure and directness? :)

As a Dutch citizen who has been abroad to a lot of countries I agree.
