As a Brit, I lived for 6 and a half years in The Netherlands and never have I met nicer, friendlier people. I'm too old to go back, but my thoughts are never far away from them.
You should try and live in Portugal. Your definition of nice people will reach another level
Te. Mageene. Ciganka. Stila. Seikene. Sise. Iz. Pa zove.
this is an AI scripted and spoken channel from the united arab emirates, there isn't anything here that is notable or actually educational. every video is 'the dark side of...' with a picture of someone's cleavage.
I don't think the Dutch are friendly at all.
the Dutch usually mirror people.
I loved the Netherlands when I visited as a teenager in 1986.
The country is extremely clean, as villages and towns compete as to what is the cleanest town. All except Amsterdam.
Amsterdam has it's own charm, but it doesn't really feel like it's part of the Netherlands.
If you ever do go there, see what is outside Amsterdam.
I'm Dutch and as most, we would not take our dog for a walk in A'dam 😉
Yes and no. I went there too and traveled all over the country. The whole country is a must see but Amsterdam is absolutely worth spending time there too. This video puts too much emphasis on the Red Light District. It doesn't define Amsterdam at all.
@@laurentsamson8927 Yes it does, but as a tourist you'll never know. 😏
Clean? Not anymore. And crazy with woke, taxes, climatechange and a corrupt president & government.
you mean the country WAS extremely clean. Mass Immigration of people who don''t like to keep the streets clean kinda ruined that, especially in the bigger cities.
The reason the Wallen exists is partly because of the tax revenue it generates from the girls themselves and the building owners.The curious tourist bring lots more in bars and restaurants and shops..... it's a win win situation with a very good and much overlooked side effect.The health and safety of the working girls who have to have regular health checks and work in a safe environment having security at the end of a panic button, and don't have to risk their safety in a strangers car......
Not to forget that the Wallen also works as a form of countering the propaganda that stimulates (hardcore) porn and everything around it. After visiting the place, you will see and get to experience that porn isn't everything. Like a bucket list thing.
Vegas baby
“He who is allowed to sin, sins less.”
Money will not save a lost soul and wickedness was never happinness
A simple litmus test I use to determine whether or not their red light district is a good idea, I is to ask myself how I would feel if one of those girls was my daughter. Need I say anymore?
I spent 39 months in Northern Belgium about 10 kliks from the Netherlands, We use to go into Netherlands/Holland on a daily basis. Beautiful country and people. Found the same thing in Belgium. I still have friends there.
True but Belgium and Netherlands are different . It is like saying that Americans and Canadians are the same
@@1individeo Uh, when I said I found the same things in Belgium as Netherlands, I was referring to the people, friendships and that close to the border, there were similarities. You start heading south in Belgium, that's when you get into the area that is more French influenced, and they tend to be total d*cks. Not all, but some. Northern Belgium speaks Flemish and Netherlands speaks Dutch. Some similarities, but each town there has a slight difference in accent, so me not being fluent in either would find it difficult to tell the difference.
@@johnstraub7494 Thru that is the reason why Flamish People want to be independent.
very arrogant-double dutch...
People measure in kliks outside of Sci-Fi?
I clicked on your video because of the title. I have been to the Netherlands and have to say that they are the most civilized and dignified people I have met. The country is beautiful and you have highlighted some of the museums, parks and towns I would like to see the next time I'm there. As for the dark side of the Netherlands, it doesn't look too dark to me. They have a regulated sex industry that is monitored successfully for sex trafficking, they allow people to die with dignity. They do not hide their dark past but display it so that people are aware that such atrocities were commited in the past and must not be commited again. When confronted with a problem such as a lack of land or flooding they find a solution around it. Perhaps aside from being a big player in the flower exporting market, they should also be actively engaged in exporting their mindset and attitudes to other countries that would benefit greatly from it.
My thoughts exactly
Huge drug traficking/abuse, huge divorce rates, hundreds and thousands of unhappy children, public porn all over the place, believing in the bb/evolution nonsense, all kinds of heavy criminal activities, allowing hundreds and thousands of medieval barbarians into the country, etc. etc. etc..
So "most civilized and diginified people"? Indeed, that's very comical only.
As a descendant of the Dutch your comments are received with a warm heart. Thank you!
Erm... _"the most civilized and dignified people"?_ LMAO!

Hollanders behoren tot de meest botte die er zijn in Europa, tot aan ronduit onbeschoft.
Been in Netherlands about 30 years ago. Most impressed by their politeness and friendliness . A great role model. God bless.
There’s nothing dark about the Netherlands it’s an incredible country , my wife is Dutch and I’ve been always impressed what a great country it is
i agree, as a born South African i have Dutch?German/British blood in me, as during the 1600/17/1800 thousands of Dutch people left for South Africa making today a large white population of which they are great farmers, keeping the country fed, only dark side is they were the forerunners of starting with the apartheid story, DR Hendrik Verwoerd who is classified as the father of Apartheid in the 1960s was born in the Netherlands
There's alot of darkness in the Netherlands, believe me.
Most of it is either related to drugs or human trafficking.
Netherlands is the biggest importer of cocain in Europe and the biggest exporter of mdma worldwide.
Maybe dig a bit deeper and you will realise it was the british that after the boer war started the apartheid / segregation story and not the afrikaner, verwoerd was for seperate development for each nation hence been taken out as he also opposed the mining giants oppenheimer/ ruperts etc and wanted to raise the taxes
@@user-et7rm8fx7u all were guilty, and yes the British started it already in the middle to late 1800,
@@eisbeinGermanystrange you think a country which was part of apartheid and disgusting inhumane behaviour towards black South Africans has no darkness 😮
My daughter and son in law both work at The Amsterdam Dungeon. Nice to see that there was a small section about it.
I have been there and have seen and enjoyed every moment
Its important to note that the euthanasia part is really tightly controlled. A doctor goes through a pretty long process before its allowed. After a doctor performs it, the doctor is always charged with murder and then acquitted if all procedures were followed and the reasoning was tight. Its really not a light process.
Compare this with Canada...
Due to our EU involvement a lot of our progessiveness has already been limited when it comes to euthanasia, soft drugs, prostitution and so forth.

And Child support scam.
De Wallen is to be fully closed in the near future,(locals who live there are done with it) they wanna have it all in 1 massive ërotic" centre building somewhere at the outskirts from A'dam...greetings from the Netherlands
The vrolik museum is intriguing located in a hospital it is the worlds largest collection of human oddities. definitely worth a visit when in Amsterdam
I live here and never heard of it, ironically, I live in the street named after him, it appears now 😂
The museum and house of Ann Frank was actually "dark" when I was there. You should have mentioned it.
All long a they make people aware, that the ball point pen was invented shortly after her death ("her" journal was written with a ball point pen).
Amsterdam (and The Netherlands) is not in danger of being flooded because of sea-level rising, the city is in danger because it's still sinking - just like its neighbour across the sea where I'm from... southern England, and in contrary to Scotland in the north where the land is actually rising. It's all to do with... yes... tectonic plates, and not as most may assume, global warming. Interestingly enough, there was a documentary explaining the above just a couple of weeks ago.
sounds like global cooling to me
someone who thinks for themselves
Also the last ice age involved. KIlometres of ice is quite heavy so land forced down so now rising up.
Wales is half underwater, but it's because of all the rain.
I am Dutch . When the video started I thought yes, we're going to have it again. The red light district and euthanasia are once again familiar so-called difficult subjects. Once I have seen it, I think it is a reasonably accurate video about the Netherlands. There are also a number of things in the Netherlands that you could consider the dark side of the Netherlands. However, we accept the oldest profession in the world. Furthermore, it is a given that people who really no longer want to live will actually leave their lives at some point. In the Netherlands we offer these people the opportunity to do this in a dignified and civilized manner. Furthermore, this process can also examine whether someone simply has depression and treat it with therapy or medication. In that respect, lives can be saved.
All in all a good accurate video, my compliments
Thank you for posting your comment! You provided a clear explanation of the difference between suicide and euthanasia. I live in Québec (Canadian province) where euthanasia was decriminalized a few years ago but we're still waiting for Canada to do the same. We're also stuck with north american puritan laws regarding red light districts and substance use, although there is hope because our when our PM desperately needed votes he legalized cannabis... And we're voting again this year ;)
I don't forget the taxes because this is a real big problem there. It is extreem how much people need to pay.
Zeg dat wel🤑
I don't care. I don't mind paying more if the country that I live in will be even better. Paying tax is a good thing as long as the tax money is spend well.
As a french, i Can relate from not so far
dont forget about the Mutter museum in Philadelphia. it is pretty amazing as well .
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has full-length slices of human bodies between sheets of glass. It doesn't get much more gruesome than that.
What is dark with allowing prostitution? It should be the normal situation everywhere.
Quite right!
It pretty much is legal everywhere except for within the US, barring a couple locations in Nevada.
@@rpruneau68 Also not to forget, that in the US itself it was legal once. But than came the goodwilling persons and as they always do destroyed this too. That is the problem with persons not having an own life, they involve in that of other.
are you for real? would you allow your daughter to be a prostitute?
@@horeageorgian7766 It should be allowed in the more remote areas of a country, not where families live and people study, have their business, go to work. Same thing with drugs trade/abuse.
I went on a European vacation 25 years ago and one of my stops was Amsterdam. Loved it. Great city, great country, and great people. The (cough cough) coffee shops weren't bad either. 😏
Wow interesting… thanks for sharing good things as well. Respect
If it was actually accurate... 🙄
I live next to the sea and in over 50 yrs I have yet to see it rise from anything other then the tide. Once they started claiming global warming I personally have kept a pretty accurate record myself and guess what....high tide is still in the same spot as when I was very young
Global warming talk is a load of horse 🐎 sh.t . The temperature we live with today is no different from the ones i experienced at school and i left school in 1973 so i know what I'm talking about.
Do you want a biscuit or something?
I was thinking about living there for a year (maybe two). A couple of locals told me don't, the cost of living is too great. They suggested an extended vacation would be the better choice. It is agreat place for a holiday though. I miss it.
Cost of living might be too great. I don't know. I'm a Dutchie living in the UK but, in the Netherlands most things are efficient, clean and overall good. In the UK it has gone backwards. simply becasue we are developing a low income nation so not enough taxes thus not enoughmoney to properly support the things that we all need. Greedy untility companies( the profits from power companies is just extortinate), water companies that are not doing what they are supposed to do (fix the water network), allowing sewage to be pumped in the waterways, road surfaces are diabiolical, train transport is also a disaster and so on and so on. Why do I stay: I have a lovely family here. But honestly, this country is run by morons and corruption is rife. Sunak is worried about immigration, maths tests etc. Maybe he could do something about energy prices, develop a solid energy plan for the country? Make sure we built more AFFORDABLE HOUSING so that people can actually buy one? Sort out the NHS. We spend a fortune on casual labour (via agencies) because we can't get the staff. That is nonsense BUT they should be paid better and a program of training should be developed. Did you know the NHS has appox 120,000 vacancies? Just a joke! Ahhhh, ofcourse, there is no money for that. REALLY??? I could go on and on. Such a mess. Incredible. And I love this country and it's people but this stupendous class system is driving the country into the ground. Mick Lynch is a person who is capable of wording things very well and is very knowledgeable. Just to mention one. not these lying bastards called tories.
Yup you're right. I live in the Netherlands and it's expensive. I have 2 friends now who are leaving this country because they can't afford it
Outstanding video, thanks for sharing, subscribed! 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
As a Dutch person, great video, nothing in it was wrong, but compared to some of the other dark side videos I think this one was a bit too light. Of course as a developed country that has been developed for a long time our country has fewer glaring issues than fast-developed countries like China and Korea or underdeveloped nations, but it isn't flawless. In recent years the political situation in the country has been more and more difficult and problematic with a huge housing crisis and the toeslagenaffaire(look it up), as well as a rise in polarisation, xenophobia and extremism. Places like Amsterdam and Giethoorn also face problems with the extremely high amount of tourism, which was briefly mentioned in the part about the wallen but could gave been explored more in depth, especially with the tourists Amsterdam attracts often coming for drugs causing many to fall and drown in the canals while intoxicated.
Again, while these might not be the biggest issues compared to other countries and we are doing quite well, I think they could have been mentioned in place of the (admittedly creepy)museums we have here.
all countries have such places, as a born South African i have Dutch/German/British blood in me, very few people know that in the 16/17/1800 thousand Dutch people moved to South Africa, they make out the biggest white population in the country under the whites and are excellent farmers, if not for them there would be very little food, very hard workers, Dr Hendrik Verwoerd who is branded as the forefather of apartheid was born in Amsterdam in 1901,
Is it true that the Netherlands still ignores animal welfare rules; continuing to use "rape crates" for pigs and stalls where the sow can't turn around and often accidentally crush some of their piglets? Is it also true that calves are almost immediately removed from their mothers and fed only milk? So, up until the day of slaughter they never eat grass or hay and the meat remains white and thus be expensive veal?
@@eisbeinGermany Someone would have to be very dim not to realise the connection between SA and old Holland, you lot practically speak Dutch in Afrikaans and half of all names in SA are descended from Dutch.
@@krashd there are many people across the globe 🌎🌍 who does not know this, not only Dutch Holland names, many towns in South Africa are named after German and French,
@@krashd no Afrikaans language is far from Dutch, buy yes originally in 1800 they still spoke high Dutch in South Africa,then in early 1900 those Dutch speaking people decided to write ✍️ their own language,if a Hollander speaks Dutch we cannot understand them, maybe if they speak very slowly, Afrikaans was only recognised as a official language in 1932 I think,
Did you know that there's a difference between a windmill and a wind turbine? A windmill is used to mill, or grind, grain to make things like grist or flour, while a wind turbine uses the wind to generate electricity. The difference is critically important.
Did you know that no one has been using windmills for dozens of years and will never again? Conversely, there was never a time where wind turbine sexisted and windmills were still in use. The difference doesn't matter at all.

How's any of this "dark"? It's well regulated, taxed, safe and fun! 💋
Houses are collapsing, not because of rising sea levels, but because of low ground water levels, due to excesive water consumption by agriculture.
Thanks for calling that out
I didn't see any "dark side" it's a beautiful progressive country, would love to visit!
Why is that the dark side? prostitution is one of the oldest jobs in history. Netherlands is free and while I don't agree with the choices some make it will never end so better to monitor it.
Well I guess you missed it they were talking about human trafficking and the people who were working in prostitution who did not want to and were forced to work in prostitution watch the video again
@@bwnco Got it, that makes more sense. I thought they were calling the "business" or prostitution in general the dark side. The trafficing part I can imagine is not so common due to prostitution being legal but I could be very wrong.
Electrician was first. Read the Bible man. It starts with "and there will be light"
The Netherlands at some point will have to accept that we have to live on water as cities on water will become reality.
We already working on these things but should our country ever become part of the sea then we will join the sea too on top ofcourse.
Yes, this country has some scary shit indeed, and you haven't even mentioned a lot to begin with lol.
But that scary shit is something you need to find very hard, overal this country is very pleasant and relaxing to live in..
The beauty of The Netherlands must be preserved at all cost!, and i hope that other countries adopt our brilliant infrastructure for their benefit.
Things dont need to look ugly or stressful..
the dark side is never dark,imo, then comes the bright side, beautiful country . netherlands and japan are on my bucket list visit
It's idiotic to think the Netherlands will just give up land to the sea. That will never happen. Not with the best water engineers the planet has to offer. Heck, when any country has watermanagement issues they call the Dutch. Including all the rich western or Arabic countries
U haven't took in mind the fact we have a lot of leftwing crazy dumbass traitors in our Dutch palrment. They are willing to do everything to damage the country
Best semi conductor engineering also. Ask Taiwan? China, USA?
It's idiotic to think that man has ultimate control when it comes to the elements of nature...

Dont blame Bogus Global warming when u build homes on top of the sea
I am Canadian. Canada now has the highest number of assisted suicides, or euthanasia. In Canada it is called MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying). Recently MAID has been approved for people who are suffering from depression, so I expect the MAID rate and numbers will now skyrocket. Personally, overall, I find this practise absolutely disgusting. It is one thing if a person is suffering from a terminal illness and has exhausted all possible methods of healing or improving quality of life and is in constant pain requiring expensive drugs and pain killing medication, but to permit and assist someone to die just because they are feeling depressed is evil. The WEF wants everyone to own nothing and has told us we will be happy, and we need to lower the population of the world and eat bugs. Next will be Soylent Green. Aldous Huxley's novel, Brave New World, was published in 1932. We are now deep into that world.
What dark side, looks great there!
I don't see freedom as any kind of dark side
Great Britain was way more bawdy back in the day.
Only 291 bike accident fatalities? That’s a lot better than automobile fatalities in many other countries.
I would think the height of natives has little to do with dairy and more to do with heredity and natural selection.
Lack of sunlight, ask farmers.
I got assaulted by a sex worker in broad daylight because she thought I was recording her (I’m a middle-aged woman), had a homeless person try to hit me while I was walking on the sidewalk because he thought I was in his way, my elderly boyfriend and I were waiting for an Uber and he needed to use the restroom so he proceeded to walk into the hotel restaurant only to be told by the hostess that he was not allowed to use the restroom because he didn’t purchase anything and should walk down to the train station instead, and lastly, the clerk at the hotel we were staying at,upon check-in, gave attitude to my boyfriend when he asked if the room was ready( apparently they were short staffed).
One more thing… bicycles. If you are not aware of your surroundings, you will be run over by a cyclist. The stress of it all was too much.

Video mentions that the Netherlands became members of the EU, Well when i was at school in the 1970's (before we in the UK became members) I was taught that three counties started to trade between themselves without trade barriers - i.e. taxes etc. Those three countries were Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg - together known as the BeNeLux countries - in order to re-establish their industries after the World War 2.
This 'barrier-less' conglomerate then gained more countries and became known as the Common Market (which the UK joined), later the European Economic Comunity and then to the EU - European Union and that is where the trouble began as it is Politically governed by non-elected politicians who seem resolute in incorporating ALL the smaller - less productive - countries and states.
The EU leadership is not only unelected but does not publish it's economic records and accounts whicht is a major problem for France, Germany and the UK for it seems those three members are the only net contributors.
So the UK left and now there is a lot of problems emerging due to the financial unaccountability and 'federalisation' being forced onto a lot of member states that quite frankly, those states are not happy with.
This is fictional stuff. There are nine contributor states to the EU. Between 2014-16, Germany and the Netherlands contributed almost twice as much per capita as the UK did. Sweden, Belgium and France also contributed more per capita than the UK. In the UK many people are alas skilled at glossing over their own immense democratic failures and their staggering corruption, as well as their pervasive bureaucracy, all while denouncing and scapegoating other countries. The mainstream British press amplifies this tendency. It is possibly a deeply rooted tradition.
I have to say as a European that you Americans love to make up history… keep up the good work & one day you will be telling people how America inhabited the Netherlands in 55 - 19 bc before the romans got there…. Maybe Joe Biden was cesar @ the time
Who are "you americans" ? You mean the government? The government propaganda does not come from "Americans" it comes from traitorous globalist SCUM!
Ive been to the Netherlands a few times (most times for Queen's Day) and must say, the country is very clean, very friendly, food and drinks (beer) were amazing, train systen is great, and love their road system on the bigger roads (if youve been there you know what i mean when i say roads, bike trails, and walkways are separated). I must also mention that they also have some of the most beautiful women ive seen...even 50 and 60 yr old women. As far as the "dark side" as titled here, most of this video was positive as it should have been.
I lived in the NL for about 8 years, now I am living in Italy, the mentality is so different, all what they (Italian) want is to buy a car, go to the pub, watching TV, and eating a lot, they don't respect the environment, because of money, and cycling is very very dangerous,

Irrationally Obstinate are the Dutch, John Churchill would agree.

Napoleon wasn't in the Netherlands in the 18th century. He became emperor in 1804, which is in the 19th century.
The dark side of the Netherlands: factory farming
Exactly! I was sort of confused. That floating farm prototype, so we can grow even more cows, sounds way more dark than any of the other things mentioned XD But it was in the "good" section of the video. XD
I quit the business in 1988 because of that and the country in 2003. 27 km of extra stables were on the drawing board then.

If you think the dark side is people being free to make their own choices, then it is probably a good idea to stay put in Florida, Texas, Russia or some other benighted place, where one's morality is subjected to disingenuous, moralising governance.
Free to make your own choices? Denying of the holocaust is punishable in the Netherlands, you're forced to take a health insurance which makes it an ordinary tax, many children are very unhappy with their mentally disturbed and/or divorced parents etc. etc. etc..

What rising sea levels? If they are rising, why do the rich people continue to own mansions at sea level, like, for example, barrack obam-bam? All the predictions made a decade ago about rising sea levels turned out to be totally wrong.
Nice information dear 😊❤
We don’t have a dark side, but are very open about everything.
As for being able to choose when to die…euthanasia…wel let me tell you the truth. There are so many rules and regulations that it is near impossible! My husband had an aggressive type of brain cancer. Before his mind was corrupted by the tumour, he signed a document, had it registered at his local doctor and our public notary. Alas when he became terminal, euthanasia was denied because he couldn’t express himself any longer, (he had lost his speech) and there was also doubt if he could comprehend what was being said to him. He died naturally after 4 days in a coma, spending his last few months in a hospice. My husband was not an exception, euthanasia is not possible in most of the cases due to the very strict rules that have to be taken into consideration .
The ocean hasn't risen, what's wrong with you?
It has, but not drastically. Or did you think major cities build massive engineering feats like the Thames Barrier just because they have spare billions lying around?
This current culture in the Netherlands is more a part of the NAZI occupation than anyone will admit. The NAZI's did not only work to extinguish Jewry and all Jews in the Netherlands, but also ALL Christians as well. As Christians and Christianity was viewed by the NAZI's, and particularly the SS troops stationed there, as the antitheist of the NAZI ideology and the SS "religion". Which it was to those earlier indoctrinated SS members. The Netherlands was one of the last areas of Westen Europe that was freed from the NAZI SS oppression as well. They had many years to work their evil atrocities from their real "overlord"....and I'm not talking about Hitler or any of his mortal lieutenants of his regime.
Absolute brain rotten moron. Keep believing what the TV man says. Propaganda consumer.
Doesn't seem like much of a dark side to me. At least somewhere with legalized sex work probably easier to spot traffickers because those establishments probably are inspected regularly.
They honor the sacrifice US troops made to liberate them. Nothing but love from me for them.
Surprised the cost living crisis wasnt mentioned
As a young-ish Brit who worked and lived there for a year c.2016, I loved almost everything about it. All that took me aback and cast a dark shade over my time was the degree of casual, open, public racism. Sometimes I would walk past gaggles of angelic-looking middle-class children and overheard them blithely spewing invective of the kind I've never experienced. In Britain that would never fly, we have a fairly zero-tolerance policy toward vocal racism (not that racists don't write or speak in the U.K., just that they do so quietly or behind closed doors).
Work in Netherlands from time to time. In Veldhoven. Ice Bar is fun in Amsterdam.
I visited the Netherlands for a short time,it was the cleanest country i have ever been to .
Everything you mentioned is not dark. This sounds like a wonderful place to live an much much better than Nazi USA.
The streets are not that packed. They are really busy during festivals but i have been there three times and it was never that crowded. The red light district is a minute part of Amsterdam. Some of the greatest churches, museums, breweries, gardens etc are found in Amsterdam. The dark side is how much the politicians want to head toward communism.
Bs dark side is populism in NL
NO "Dark side" -- The Freedoms to have Consensual Sex, Work in Sex Work, and Self-Determine your Death, all Faithfully Honour the FREEDOM that WW II's Allied Soldiers Fought for, and Lost Lives and Limbs for !! - - Including my Grandpa in the Dutch Resistance, who was Caught by the Nazis, and put in a Cattle Train to a Concentration Camp, he Saved his life only by jumpingfrom the Moving Train.
Is he one of those (((chosen))) that survived multiple "death camps"?
01:51 It's NOT the 'oldest profession. Adam had work and duties before Eve existed.
But all of that changed when he took a Byte from an Apple. Should have stayed with his IBM PC.
I heard a Black preacher use that example in a talk to some young people.
Adam and Eve never existed.
Sea levels aren't rising the city is country is sinking.
The reason why they are the tallest is that they have the highest intake of animal protein in the world. It is literally referred to from inside as the cheese making country. It isn't magic, hormone fueled bovines however is more likely.
You're wrong there. Hormone fueled livestock or meat has been banned in Europe for decades.
Netherlands are next on the travel list! Cute women! 😮😮❤❤
Someone commented that the landmass is sinking, they make it sound as though sea level is rising
Climate.....everything for the climate narrative
The only real darkside of the Netherlands is that we are THE masters in complaining about everything even the good things we are admired for abroad.
In general as a nation we are hard workers and go for maximum excelence and efficiency in everything.
This comes from the "pompen of verzuipen" (pump or drown) mentality due to centuries of survivalmode, living with and combating the sea.
Foreigners preceive us often as rude and cold hartet people.
We are just straith to the point and cut all the uncessary crap.
With the sea we have a weird symbioses like a long lasting marriage.
We love and fight the sea without the sea whe are nothing and to be fair i dare to say the sea can't live without us as wel ! We sail and work the 7 seas and the most fanatic enviromental groups to save the seas are also based in our country.
I am proud to be Dutch, we have a lot to offer.
We stand our ground if you look at sports, industry, banking, food production, technology, education, healthcare, safety, pensions, and quality of life.🤘🇳🇱🙏🍀
I Love Netherlands🇳🇱
German newlyweds visit here for honeymoon.
