WE are living in a beautifull country. There is a lot more to see then tulips or wooden shoes. We are happily a modern multicultural country with for over the most happy people from everywhere. And by the way the pictures shown from the canals in Amsterdam let us see the Dom in Utrecht withe most beatifull canal in the Netherlands "de Oude Gracht"in Utrecht
It's been always bit strange for me - we do have so many "typically dutch things" to be proud of but these r (always!) tulips, old windmills and wooden shoes to show off if it comes to the deal!....
Ik kom van oorsprong uit Rotterdam en heb daar tot 1986 gewoond. Ik woon nu in het oosten aan de rand van een stad. Zoals ik al in een ander bericht gezegd heb, onderzoek wees uit dat nog zo'n miljoen nederlanders dagelijks op klompen lopen. Zelfs in de buurt van Utrecht.
Your beautiful country has many people jealous of its wonder. So bespoilt are their own homelands that all that's left them is to be negative. The Netherlands is a remarkable country with a rich heritage and progressive social attitudes. Congratulations.
Agree! Such a stereotype image of the Netherlands. Holland is so much more than tulips, windmills, wooden clogs and dressed up people with traditional clothes (for the tourist). With the tour of holland-is . com we got to see the reel countrylife
@michaeljacksonluf I know a few of people who walks on wooden shoes here in The Netherlands, in small villages people (most of them are older) people are also wearing native clothes!
In my neighboorhood lots of people are still wearing them thats beacause i live on a farm in the countryside, but it's true in the city you won't walk on those things that really hurts.XD
@allesnaodekloete the woman in the video said: Today we're going to take a look at the more traditional side of the netherlands. What part of that don't you understand? Traditional ..... meaning old culture side. They know we don't walk on wooden shoes.
@atfatw We have the biggest oilcompagny called Shell, Holland is a exporter of gas, even got oil. Next to this we're a big exporter of dairy foods and flowers. We export 500 billion $ a year. America is exporting 1 trillion $ a year. That's twice as much, but America is a little bit bigger than Holland, that's without the drug export. If you would look at the amount of citizens compared to the USA, Holland is exporting 37,5 times more than the USA.

Nee hoor. Er is zo'n twee jaar geleden een onderzoek geweest en tot hun verbazing blleek het dat zo'n miljoen Nederlanders nog dagelijks klompen droegen. Ook bij ons zie je het dagelijks en echt niet alleen als ze op het land bezig zijn. Zelfs mijn broer draagt ze dagelijks terwijl hij al helemaal niks met boerderijen te doen heeft. Hij is een computerman
We are not like you see! Where not so dressed and don't only have klomps (clogs). Even theire are not so match wo live on the farm. but i like that last! Sinterklas hihi. Thats for us Santa claus.
@atfatw wth? I'm Dutch, I've never come across anyone that sells or buys drugs, I don't drink coffee, I've never had or seen someone wearing woonden shoes, so wth? Just because soft drugs is legal it's not like everyone sells drugs. Drugs is more of an issue in America than it is in here.
Nou, ik weet niet waar jij woont, maar we barsten nog echt steeds van de tulpen en molens en zeker een miljoen mense lopen nog op klompen. Dus een beetje klopt het filmpje wel.
why the hostility? I was just pointing out that those of us Americans who happen to be of Frisian decent are away of the ethnic group. I don't care who knows or cares about them, that wasn't the point of my statement. I think that Frisians have gotten the shit end of the stick from the various governments that govern them, but that is simply the reality of the world.
It's ignorant to name this the "Culture of the Netherlands." It has nothing to do with culture. The video simply highlights popular tourist attractions. I recommend looking a little deeper if you're going to use that word.
Zo grappig! Haar uitspraak als ze over die Nederlandse plaatsen enzo :p En dan tonen ze zo'n traditionele kledij en denken de domme amerikanen dat iedereen in zo'n kleren loopt :p
@Jelle1783 Dutch culture, history and society are very complicated & multilateral to play there with this multi-culty bullshit. Not so many foreigners do know our land is a composition of many small regions one may describe as a pretty closed community: the frisians, limburgers, groningers, zeelanders, tukkers, etc. EVEN THESE 100% GENUINE DUTCH CITIZENS DO NOT HAVE THAT MUCH IN COMMON, let alone with the guys from the Third World who got dutch passports totally left way! Suppose u got me! :D
noemde ze nijntje nou niffie? wie heeft dat verzonnen! dat ze het niet kunnen uitspreken ok, maar verzin dat een naam die er op lijkt ofzo. black Peter:p zeg dat Black Pete
Every body thing that the netherlands is just water flowers woden shoes NOTT i hate when english people only know amsterdam do you know that rotterdam is better then en den haag the hague is better then amsterdam en utrecht is better then amserdam i can say 10 more city's thats better than amsterdam xDD Soooo =)

Indeed, i come from the netherlands to, and we have also big modern city's.
Nicest place I have seen, the canals and flood control projects are amazing.

Beautiful progressive Netherlands.
An example of civilisation and modernity for the rest of the FREE world.
thanks!
Sorry, I got that information wrong, thanks for correcting me on our culture!

it is still part of dutch culture. The children lay out there shoes and receive gifts from the elves

Except for those of us who who are Frisian.

Helaas, dat is waar.
On the charter we still use them to wake up those silly german quest.
But then again that's about 5 min because walking on them is pure agony.
Bij de helft van de video denk ik echt van "Zo leven we al 50 jaar niet meer. XD".
To anyone who's not from the Netherlands and watched this vid: Is our li'l country that famous?
what do you mean by free?
Nee hoor. Er is zo'n twee jaar geleden een onderzoek geweest en tot hun verbazing blleek het dat zo'n miljoen Nederlanders nog dagelijks klompen droegen.
