We moved from the U.S. a month ago and love the Netherlands! This has been the least stressful move ever. You feel like this country has your back. I’ve never felt more relaxed or supported in my life. We don’t foresee leaving either. Everything just works here compared to where we came from. Our next project is learning Dutch!
Congrats, and finally a blog that says Amsterdam is overrated for tourists! There are so many beautiful other cities like Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Maastricht, Groningen and many more.
Amsterdam is a beautiful city not over rated but over crowded with tourist. And yes there is more then amsterdam but not over rated . One of the most beautiful cities in this world❤
I tune in every now and then, but it’s really cool that you show off the Netherlands and not just Amsterdam. Given how small the country is a lot of people don’t appreciate how well connected everything is they never explore further than the Randstad.
Van harte gefeliciteerd met jullie verlenging voor het verblijf in Nederland. Dat jullie nog maar vele jaren vol geluk in Nederland mogen wonen. Ik volg jullie nu een jaartje denk ik en ik ben ondertussen een vaste volger en geniet enorm van jullie humor. Een tip voor jullie steden tour probeer eens Elburg te bezoeken. één van de kleinste stadjes van Nederland. Groetjes DeToov. 🥂
@@zjweele13 Er zijn zeker problemen in Nederland wat betreft geloof en huidskleur, maar ga daar eens over nadenken! Zijn we daar niet allemaal, zowel hun kant als onze kant niet fout in geweest? Ik ga zeker niet alles goed praten, maar even eeen voorbeeld. Een hele goeie vriend van mij is begin jaren 90 als politiekvluchteling als 9 jarig jochie uit Iran naar Nederland gekomen. Irak (Sadam Hoesein) had op hun familie een bedrag geplakt! De vader was een een hoog aangeschreven tandarts in Iran, moest eerst inburgeren, watt logisch is, maar moest daarna een beroep kiezen om te volgen voor zijn toekomst, van een lager niveau (met alle respect) hij kon kiezen uit de bouw sector en dat soort opleidingen. Na 20 jaar heeft hij zich aangemeld voor toetsing en opleiding tandarts, het vak waar zijn hart ligt, maar nee kwam er niet door, zijn denk niveau in Nederland werd te laag geschat, terwijl tandartsen zeggen, waar hij dagje mee mocht lopen (7 totaal), hij is goed opgeleid en leergierig, verstaat zijn vak (moest wel bijscholen wat logisch is), maar waarom dit dan weer tegenhouden, want die stomme kut opleiding is niet alleen tandarts, maar bijvoorbeeld ook je talen vaardigheid! Zoals Engels, waarop hij gezakt is, kan hij dan niet werken in een praktijk met enkel Nederlandse cliënten of Nederlands talige cliënten? Ik zeg niet dat alles zo gaat, maar als je goedwillende mensen met verstand van een beroep zo gaat weren en ze ongelukkig maakt in een sector waar ze het eigenlijk niet naar hun zin hebben, moet jee ook niet raar opkijken dat het gaat botsen.
You are happy that you can stay in the Netherlands for another five years and we are happy that we can enjoy your videos for (at least) another five years. That's what they call a win-win situation. Congratulations.
Great news guys! Nice to hear you love living here. Buying a house will be a very tough challenge. Real estate prices have gone through the roof lately. Living close to Amsterdam, I fully agree Amsterdam is not the best city to visit, although it has its hidden gems.
Congrats and well deserved!! I've been living in the Netherlands since birth, 58 years now..and still learning new things from your video's, and love the way you try all the dutch things. Talking about integration 😊, next stop: 50.000 subscribers!!
Gefeliciteerd Lex and Michelle on that renewal. Now onward to the next one, with you maybe even have permeant residence if you want. Great to see it all works out for you and i wish you the best of luck for the coming years on becoming even more Dutch! 🥳🎉
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾. It’s great that you can stay here. More great videos to come in the next years. It’s great to see you embrace the Dutch culture. I have to check your second channel. I am one of your subscribers that would watch videos of you in other countries. ❤❤❤
Glad to see you're gonna be with us for a while. I would gladly be your guide to the Eindhoven most people don't get to see (even many people from Eindhoven itself). Good luck in the next five years and way after that!!
subscribed to your channel as a way to say thank you for staying ❤ I like your content, and I love the idea that there will be more! Please keep up the good work 👍
Congrats on at least another 5 years! I really enjoy both canals and would hate to see you guys leave. You two have a chemistry that is fun and touches the heart! I'm hungry for way more of your adventures.
Go visit the old Hanze cities on the IJssel, Doesburg, Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle, Kampen. Mediëval cities that have been lovely restored. In Zutphen there is the Librije, the oldest public library in the world and very special. Books are on chains. Looks like a scene from a movie like name of the rose
I just found this channel but I love how you introduce me (Dutch) to my own country from a different perspective. Also love seeing how you treat each-other.
A big congratulations for growing the channel so successfully and doing such an amazing job of learning how to settle in as immigrants. Not easy. It's truly an inspiring story. Love the whole "of course we're staying" vibe to the whole video. Keep the car-free life going. That too is inspiring and proves the concept of what a great mass transportation nation NL is. It's no secret what a housing-challenged country NL is right now, so it will be fascinating to see you explore what area works for you best. Gefeliciteerd!
If you don’t want to do vids on other European countries on the main channel, you could do “Dutch” places abroad maybe 😅. There are famous/infamous Dutch places in Spain, Portugal etc
Hey, Michelle and Alex. Congrats on staying 5 more years in the Netherlands. Having seen quite a few vids of you both, it's obvious you both feel well here 😊 Your perspectives on the Netherlands are really great 👍 We love having smart and funny people coming over to our small country. Thanks you both. Keep'm coming, the vids.👍👌
Great channel guys. I have lived 8 years in Vlaardingen great public transportation cheaper and quieter than Rotterdam. Really missing it. Now I live in Oostburg.
So happy to hear this. Would be weird if they hadn't approved your stay for another 5 years. Every country should welcome people trying to integrate so well.
Amsterdam-Zuid and Amsterdam-Centrum outside of the Tourist area around Amsterdam CS are beautiful to go for a long walk on a warm sunny day in May or September. But I agree that the Rokin on a rainy day in November is rather miserable.
Congratz with your Permit.. So lovely to keep you guys ( and cat ) around for another 5 years.. BTW, how are Dutch classes progressing? Anytime soon a video in Dutch?
michelle is doing a refresh of our previous A2 class for some additional practice and i’m doing conversation practice classes. and we’re starting A2+ in a couple of weeks! we will definitely do a video in dutch once we’re comfortable being more spontaneous, if that makes sense 😄
Congratulations my dutchies 🎉 a second subscription is on its way. By the way.. With the amount of subscribers you two have at this very moment, You could fill half the football stadium the kuip Rotterdam with people (fans) 😮 and believe me..! That's insane! Because I experienced it myself. Can't wait to see your next dutch and other advantures.
A second channel, Toe Maar. Visit islands all over the world, nice weather, relaxed sightseeing. Did you know that you can visit, for cheap, the island of Dord? Yep, Dord has an island too.Going there on a nice sunny day, perhaps.
In the city of Raalte we have a weekly buttermarket in the summer months (jul-aug) and they sell a local speciality Kruudmoes. If tou think rolmops is the worst thing you coukd take to the USA, try kruudmoes.
Funny to see this video, because i always was wondering how long will they stay? NL is a small country and after a certain time you have seen the most of it. But nice that you like it a lot here and want to stay! 👍
Don’t scare me like that! “Are we leaving…” and I was like: “Nooooo!” This channel teaches me stuff ‘n things about The Netherlands even I didn’t know. And you have the best (sexy) puns of UA-cam! Congrats you two!! 🥳
Darlings, you are more than welcome here. I follow your posts and you seen to be an asset in this crazy country. You two are loved very much here. Congratulations. And love you for knowing that The Netherlands are not Amsterdam. A fresh stroopwafel is great.
We love having you here in The Netherlands.

As a Dutchman who used to live in the US I could not agree more 😊
Where do you live? Can I help you with learning Dutch in any way?
@@atropatene3596 Thank you for your offer but we are signed up for Dutch classes to start soon and have online resources until then.
Welcome to our small country 🤗
@@xxleonie1987xx Dank je wel!
I appreciate the Amsterdam comment 🙌 people always only talk about/go to Amsterdam, but there are so so many other places.
Congrats, and finally a blog that says Amsterdam is overrated for tourists! There are so many beautiful other cities like Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Maastricht, Groningen and many more.
To a great extent, it is the tourists that make it overrated. We just sacrifice A'dam so the rest of the country can remain okay.
@@landsgevaer Yes, for instance Groningen is shit, don't come here! (I live in Groningen 😄😉)
@@joostdriesens3984 So do I. Stop the Lelylijn! ✊
Amsterdam is a beautiful city not over rated but over crowded with tourist. And yes there is more then amsterdam but not over rated . One of the most beautiful cities in this world❤
Or Hoorn! Great city with greath history 👍🏻
You cannot leave. You're the best ambassadors for that country. Greeting from Germany!
I tune in every now and then, but it’s really cool that you show off the Netherlands and not just Amsterdam. Given how small the country is a lot of people don’t appreciate how well connected everything is they never explore further than the Randstad.
Dear Michelle and naughty Alex, it is nice to hear that you will be here among us in the coming years. Have a good time and give us fun vlogs pls 😘
I was afraid they would leave us. Sooo glaadddd they dont.
Congrats, glad you are staying for another 5 yrs. Love your videos, so keep them coming 😊😊

Except when they are brown or muslim. At least voting outcomes suggest that

Congrats to all of us! We don't have to miss your shenanigans in the Netherlands and abroad.
Gefeliciteerd, ik hoop in de toekomst nog meer vlogs van jullie te zien uit en in Nederland.
Yay 5 jaren erbij! Heel benieuwd hoe het kanaal groeit in deze 5 jaar! En elke reisvlog die jullie maken is leuk om te kijken! Have a great weekend! 😊
🎉🎉🎉 yeey!! More enjoyable content for the next five years from you guys!!! Congratulations!
Slagroomtaart for a celebration is so very Dutch!
Normally it’s eaten differently 😉
Echt niet! Bleah...zo overrated 😮

Just make sure to have a minimum of €4500 in your account.
Yessssssssssssssssss gefeliciteerd hup naar nog 5 jaar leuke video`S , Toppers
Glad to hear you guys are staying with us for 5 more years !!
It seems to me that food vlogs from Flanders should also do well. They are kind of our little brother…
If you don’t want to do vids on other European countries on the main channel, you could do “Dutch” places abroad maybe 😅. There are famous/infamous Dutch places in Spain, Portugal etc
love this idea!!
Yes, like The Bottom, Philipsburg, Oranjestad, Oranjestad, Kralendijk and of course Willemstad!
gelukkig blijven jullie nog even, laat de video's maar komen. 🎊🎉🎈
