What i ♥♥♥ about most Americans & Dutch people is that they are both openminded, able to switch cultural gears etc. Their flexibility makes them very compatible.
I met several Dutch people and they were very opened minds. The Dutch are beautiful both the land and people.
Eating with a knife and fork is nothing to do with Dutch culture, it's called good manners.
Yet every corner has people eating street food with their hands.
pro trick : you can watch movies at instaflixxer. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Damian Bridger yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I feel pride to be a dutchie :)Don't let Jacques get you down with his comments. It's like we say: een azijnpisser.About Sinterklaas, there are indeed a lot of similarities with the American Christmas tradition, but we believe they are both different, like Dutch and German isn't the same for us but for foreigners a lot of the time it seems similar. I hope you all come back someday and make a lot more memories :)
BTW, Sinterklaas our version of Christmas? Santa Claus is based on Sinterklaas and similar people, not the other way (a)round. Lot's of Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas AND Christmas.
'Santa Claus' Is literally the corruption of the Dutch Sinterklaas when they settled in the US. That eventually evolved into santa.
Also, he is actually Saint Nicholas. A saint. You guys should know that =P
We always are. :)
16:33 I congratulate you on your insight in the differences you encountered in people of the Netherlands. I admire the amount of respect you have for the dutch. Not many non-dutch people can handle our 'brand of honesty' let alone appreciate it. And obviously you did get something out of it even if it wasn't what you set out for. You returned a changed man... maybe even a better man?
That last guy actually learned something valuable: Yes I am a mormone.. and there are a LOT of people out there that are not! BUT they can be real beautiful and loving and caring people whatsoever... Once you can come over that feeling of: Hey I know better and I want to teach you to be like me... you are a better person :-)
That short haired woman is stunning
thanks
The whole knife and fork thing is something I've never encountered in my life over here...
The final few minutes of this video are the clearest, You knock on people's door, trying to win souls, you don't win a single one but you have the best time ever. This shows exactly why the church is a lie, and the real power is love, not bowing for some god
This video is a beautiful mirror for Dutch society. At least for the good sides of it ;-)
Thank you.
They just don't get it, the Dutch had their era of Bible thumpers till commonsense ruled again.
This is nicely on spot. Thanks. I really enjoyed watching this.
The guy from Utah is particularly nice. I would listen to him if he came to my front door.
Provided he practiced (very carefully) what he preaches here haha.
So you were trying to send missionaries to The Netherlands? To convert us? HAHA. I wish you much luck with this giant effort. They tried this before .... mimicking won't work, we see through this.
They do this since the second world war, and still not learned that we dont go with them in their version of the fairytale.
Absolutely.
Echt nederlands. lekker gemeen doen en negatief zijn en trouwens ze zijn hier in nederlands al voor de 2e wereldoorlog elke grote stad heeft 2 tot 3 gemeentes en een grote leden kring maar je ziet ze nooit zo veel.
Eating with fork and knife is not at all special Dutch culture: lot of people eat with a fork only, or with a spoon and fork. I learned my children also eating with chop sticks, and with their fingers, but that is higher education for world travellers.
Love the words of the last guy.
The last speech is very touching and this guy is obviously in love with Dutch culture
Sinterklaas actually is a representation of a sanctified bishop, to be precise the bishop of Myra - strange enough a place in Turkey in stead of Spain where he purportedly lives. His "tall hat" is called a mitre, a religious head garb.
To add a bit of trivia; Sinerklaas is the patron saint of Amsterdam
SOME ADVICE FROM A DUTCH GUY...
!!!NEVER TELL A DUTCH PERSON WHAT TO DO!!! Or tell them that you are there to SAVE them... (Huh? Who are YOU to save me, and from what?!?)...
That will instantly DESTROY your relationship with any Dutch person... Just be yourself, BE HONEST, be real, and you'll be fine...
[Edit]: This guy gets it @20:53
Perhaps a call for responsibility, and an explanation why your message has benefits may be more fruitfull?
In the nedherlands we have cald the bablebelt. That is the region from the souht west to the middle to the norht west of de county
The last guy should move to the Netherlands, that last sigh :(.
Stranger, where you from?
Missionaries? In the Netherlands ... are we a missionary area. Great, now that's progress of society,
You can't learn Dutch culture form living in Belgium. Can you learn American culture from living in Canada?
This is very interesting. I am Dutch but my family have settled in the US in michigan area. I am looking at how much of this transferred with us to the US. I also now live in the south US state and they believe northern are very blunt. I wonder if its due to so many dutch from that area. But many of the dutch are Christian. Many of my family are protestant and catholic, many ministers and priest in the family and missionaries. That maybe why your turned away lot.
Can the last guy just get to the point. I heard him repeat the same kind of stuff over and over. This whole video could have been said in 10mins.
Your Santa Claus is derived from Sinterklaas, NOT the other way around!
Right , because the feast was held in New Amsterdam , as wel as in the Netherlands , the english after robbing New Amsterdam from us , and recalled it new york , and as always they mixed it all up
rustig rustig lol sorry
Dutch men are hung like horses,and smart.... a real dual threat
Manners in Dutch Christian households are more conservative and strict than in most other households in the Netherlands.
Perhaps the rest of the world should learn from the Duch! They are industrious and efficient. They have done Q. Miracles with a swampy small peace of land...
I think you ment the word forboding....about 27 minutes into the post
From 16:30 on really hits the needle on its head.
I only watched 1:42 and I can confidently say she has never been to the Netherland
hey lil kleine spreekt goed engels
Naaah dude you can rent houses here and you actually get like a cut on the monthly rent from the government called 'Huurtoeslag',with that in account living isnt too expensive,unless you are in a fortunate financial situation,then i guess it would be expensive because you cannot put claims on stuff like huurtoeslag then :)
Bloke with the glaces understands us best of all.
The 'hat' of Sinterklaas is not a hat, it's a mitre or miter.
Uiteindelijk was hij een bisschop, dus had hij een meiter
Those people look like God is tickling them continuously.
10:17 freesland, the city of Heerenveen is about 80% dutch, there are not many frisians in that city, otherwise you would think different about this whole subject. If you think the Dutch are so direct, you have seen nothing yet if you meet frisians which are a culture within the dutch culture. They think different and even talk a different language from scandinavian origin. Frisians dont like outsiders which tell them how to live.....
You have been with a selected group of people which are open to your fairytale. Millions of dutch just shovel the food into their mouths like americans do: with a fork only... You have been with the people who consider themselves to "the better ones", and yes, they are often open for religions.
sinterklaas = sint Nikolaas = Saint Nicholas = Santaclaus../. Christmas = a holy feast , the birth of Jesus Christ
Well... that was a bit over dramatic I'd say lol. Aspecially that last guy xD
The short haired woman’s vocal fry is very hard to listen to.
Yeahhhhh, Or you actually 'convinced' them on god, or they just nodded and wanted to move on. You can be honest about everything except god in the Netherlands. It's probably still better than most other places.
hahaha did the guy really say its considered very classy to eat with knife and fork in Europe? ..haha what a bullcr*p is that
BTW, when you are talking about Americans, do you mean people from America, or people from the USA, because you do know America isn't really a country don't you? You mean USA. America is a continent.
We ate a date on our date. I pick up a crane, with my crane. Leave that leave alone! Why do you point with that point? See what is going on? Every double word means something different. That is a thing in every language. Americans can both refer to people from the USA or from the continent. One word can mean different things.
City called Heerenveen? Heerenveen has no city rights, it is a village.
Friesland is not really a part of the netherlands in my opinion. In ALL of our opinions.
Well at any rate, you'll probably need a passport when going to friesland ;-)
André Van der Linden Heel Nederland was vroeger Friesland. Google maar eens Magna Frisia.
Jup, Romans never even tried conquering it. As even then, we were good trade partners, and besides a very marshy land. Romans loved Frisian horses.
youpie24 The Frisians of that time period had a monopoly on maritime trade in the North Sea and through that, were heavily involved in the Viking cultural world.
gee this woman is a genius.......NOT
