Climbing The Netherland's Highest Mountain
The Netherlands is famous for having no mountains and being flat. However, we travelled to the south of Holland to prove that Dutch people can still touch the clouds. In this video we show our amazing hiking adventure up a Dutch mountain ;) and we explore the three country landmark of The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

    I remember my own Dutchness because it was pointed out to me by a non-Dutch friend, namely together we went to a reunion of an (als non-Dutch) friend after a very long time, and my first reaction was when I saw her .. 'my god you've gotten old!'.. she didn't like it that much... LOL

He stopped playing stadiums but he will tour for sure! Maybe your friends can take you to Vrienden van Amstel live as Guus is playing there almost every year and it's very gezellig!

    It’s only “rude” when you’re wrong, otherwise it’s called “direct”. And Dutch people are direct, because they’re always right. At least they always seem to think so. In fact, Dutch people are pretty arrogant …

    A Dutch Backpacker would probably be one of the cheapest persons (or financially responsible 🤣) on the planet. Pretended to be German several times in their presence. As a Dutch Flashpacker I would never ever consider asking someone money for loose change/money I forgot. Backpackers in general are dirt cheap though. While in Koh Pahgan at a Backpacker Party Bar I ordered 3 different buckets and a round of like 8 shots for the table. You should have seen the palpable fear in the eyes of all the backpackers until I mentioned I was buying.

    The Dutch are way too quick with the "just being honest" card. Truth is that you can be honest without being very rude, the Dutch just suck at it. In all of your examples the common thing is that you have to somehow convince yourself that the person being rude to you also cares about you. Now call me a snowflake, but I don't want to have to imagine that my friends actually like me, I like them to show it.

    Don't be so sensitive Mark. Nobody's accusing Duch people of being bad people. It’s just a cultural uniqueness that people in Holland like to save money on small things which I have respect for and have taken on myself. Some people take it too far and you know what I'm talking about.

    I'll call it cheap, I lived in holland for over a decade. Many things I loved there. Something that gets really irritating is this sport cheapness. People take it to the next level. Pouring down frozen rain? Take a bicycle. Go to the club, people still wearing thier jackets because it costs 1 euro to store your jacket. Lunch? 2 slices of bread, 12 micrograms of butter and a slice of cheese. I get saving money, thats fine but Holland goes too far. Obviously not everyone.

    This is total bullshit! We spend 1,5 miljard euro on development aid. 500 million on refugees. We paid non military support for Ukraine about 252 million. Many of us opened our homes to give these women and childeren a safe place to stay. Many of us chose to pay the bills for them; but also these refugees didn't have to pay a lot of the taxes we Dutch do have to pay. We gave some 25 million euros to the palastinians and I can post many more examples. The truth is that the Dutch are extremely generous and caring people. The Netherlands is the eighth-most charitable country in the world, with an overall score of 53%. The Netherlands, like the U.K., has the second-highest donation rate in the world of 71%. Over the past decade, the level of giving has been slightly more stable in the Netherlands than it has in the other high scoring European countries, the U.K. and Ireland. Levels of giving have ranged from 51% to 56%. All the other countries have more inhabitants though... Also a fun fact, American, we are the number two on exporting food in the world. Imagine what we would do if we had the amount of land that you possess...You are actually very incompetent. We send our engineers your way to fix your flooding problems. Meanwhile two third of our small country would be unliveable because we reclaimed large parts of it from the sea... And that little fact sets us back billions of euro each year. And still the Netherlands is an economic powerhouse. Also did you know we are about a decade more advanced in the creation of machines that make your microchips?

      When I was a student and got 650 a month with 350 rent I was quite cheap. A generosity was to spend 3 guilders on a friend who came over to eat and not let them pay it themselves. I remember so well that a roommate borrowed 30 cents, but then I got my first job and felt like a millionair. He wanted to give the 30 cents back. No keep it. Really? Are you sure? LOL he was so grateful.
