If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much.
it aint much if it aint dutch
Nice. I'm gonna steal that one with your permission.

Goeie!👍

You forgot one.
Your very own *Arjan Anbeek Alley.*
You know, for putting this list together.
We're all so proud of you.
7:30 Dutch engineers actually did propose some ideas to tackle the flooding problem in the US. But US citizens think that the costs are to high and prefer rebuilding every time over and over again. When you sum all those times up it will actually become more expensive in total instead of one single expensive project to safe the cities for good.
Here is a video about it ua-cam.com/video/awYq5Ys4jKw/v-deo.html
Yup, whether it’s the Mississippi, New Orleans or New York, Dutch engineers suggested solutions for them. Costs money though.
Yeah, the Dutch really don't understand the American attitude of letting things flood and then rebuilding. Or letting hurricanes and tornadoes blow houses away and then rebuilding them. If the Dutch lived in Tornado Alley, we'd have invented the most indestructible houses in the world.
The conversation 5 min into the video was a savage burn. The american reporter:"$500 mln dollar is a big investment for something you use sporadic". Dutch waterengineer:"150 bn in damage in New Orleans, do I need to say more?"
We made the biggest dijk we could make to close of the sea and make a giant pool where we made awhole province out
I mean dam
Yup. It takes money to build and maintain such infrastructure, and it seems Americans don't like taxes to pay for such things.
Yeah, you know how it is.
The Dutch: "we need more land"
The Sea: "Ah fuck, here we go again"
😄
🤣
i am Dutch , i am so proud of my litlle country . and YES , i am 193 cm TALL . ( LOVE YOUR REACTION ) .
Me too
My height isn't very representative of the country 180 cm
shorty
Niles Cooper Shorty? Get the Hell out

What about inventing: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, the telescope, National anthems and 3 horizontal striped flags.
We have the oldest national anthem in the world
@@jeroenboel6489 Yes like I said inventing National Anthems
@@noahwattel4226 there is a difference though.
Wilhelmus is the oldest song used as an anthem, but it wasn’t an anthem until 1932.
Before that, there was “wier Neerlands bloed”, which was made in 1817.
At that time, other nations already had anthems like England, Spain and Denmark.
Basically, if I drive the oldest car in the world, it doesn’t make me the guy who came up with the idea of driving really old cars.
@@misterkami2 Yet we were the first to write one it just wasn't called a national anthem only after that other countries also started making songs/anthems for their countries.
Wilhelmus was already written around 1568.
So sure we were the first others kinda copied it or did something similar and at some point when it really started to get popular someone else said: hey! let's make this a thing called national anthems.
Not sure, but I believe Bluetooth was invented in Denmark, named after the first christian (Danish) king Harald blue teeth or something like that. WiFi, I have no idea
this tiny little country is the second largest exporter of foods in general on this planet after the US, and the number one exporter of flowers and plants in the world!! and Netherlands has half the size of one of USA smaller states:Kentucky
that is becose crossing with other plants that are growing the best so you get plants bether
Also the biggest xtc exporter 😌
@@yeetskie That's all Brabant
Any idea why the Netherlands are great at farming and agriculture? Everybody knows the delta of the River Nile in Egypt. The Nile slowly takes lots of sediment to Egypt. That happens to be a very fertile country. Famous for good crops.
Well, the Netherlands IS THE DELTA of the River Rhine. River Rhine slowly takes lots of sediment to the Netherlands. We don't have any pyramids here, but farmers produce lot.
@@voornaam3191 The Dutch are good at farming and agriculture because of innovation. There is little space and thus all kinds of techniques where developed. There is a documentary about it. The surplus get's traded.
We've offered to help many times but the US said they didnt need help with flooding. BUT, recently New Jersey accepted a plan to rebuild the shores from a Dutch engineer so maybe thats going to change soon
Ill be a billionaire before Americans will ever admit to needing help
Yep, the Dutch tamed the water, but when one snowflake touches the train tracks, no train leaves the station on time.
Fun fact: The Dutch already sent engineers to the US after the Katrina disaster as New Orleans has somewhat similar conditions compared to the Netherlands and also suffered it's share of floodings. Don't know if we helped out Texas though. Also in recent time, we sent some huge water pumps to the UK, which had a small valley flooded and we cleared that of water a.s.a.p.
For a small country, we certainly don't refrain from taking the big approach.
ASML makes the machines that make the chips in your phones and basically all high-end electronics. VOC is the richest company ever to exist. The Dutch navy defeated the English and Spanish, they were the richest country with the best navy and a lot of those mills were actually sawmills enabling the production of a giant navy fleet.
Funny thing about the Orange aspect: William was german, but made some kind of lord in France of this place named Orange. The town, however, wasn't named after the colour or the fruit (tangerines) but the name actually came from an old celtic watergod. (Which is funny, considering our relationship with water)
So many Dutch princes and princesses were German. Throughout the centuries. Let's keep it simple and only mention the 20th century here: We have Hendrik, Bernhard and Claus. More recently we are hiring from a South American country....
One of my ancestors was born in New York not long after it changed the name from New Amsterdam to New York. So he was actually one of the first real New Yorkers!
Or one of the last New Amsterdammers! :) Just kidding! Greetings West-coast Netherlands!
Just a little fact... there are a lot of places in America with a Dutch name or a Dutch name translated to English. Here is a little list for you:
Bowery Lane (Bouwerijlaan)
Bridge street (Brugstraat)
Broadway (Breede Weg)
Brooklyn (Breukelen)
Bushwick (Boswijk)
Coney Island (Konijneneiland)
Flushing (Vlissingen)
Gravesend (Gravesende)
Greenwich Village (Groenwijck)
Harlem (Haarlem)
Hempstead (Heemstede)
Holland (veel gebruikt)
Long Island (Lange Eylandt" by Adriaen Block, 1614)
New Utrecht (Nw.-Utrecht)
Rhode Island ( "Roodt eylandt")
Spuyten Duyvil Creek
Staten Island
Stuyvesant (named after Peter Stuyvesant)
The Bronx (>>Jonas Bronck)
Wall Street (Wal Straat or Waal Straat)
Yonkers (Jonker)
Yankee originated from Jan Kees, which are two very common Dutch names.
Dollar originated from Daalder, which was a currency used in the Netherlands at the time.
Fun fact: The Tulip (that Dutch flower you mentioned) was the cause of the very first stock exchange crash in history. (1st stock exchange in the world was in Amsterdam)
Are you familiar of the history of Mesopetamia? Or the Maya times in South America? Or China? Civilisations come and go, and when literally NOTHING is left behind, that does not mean nothing happened in prehistoric times. People have existed, what is it, millions of years? And you say there was no stock exchange before Amsterdam? You got Coentunnelvision?
Fun Fact: there's a city in Michigan called Holland, it was founded by a Dutchman in the nineteenth century, and there's still a lot of Dutch people living there today. We even shipped over one of our old windmills there.
So on the Delta works there is a kinda museum thing called Neeltje Jans, and on the side of the building it says "here the tide is ruled by the moon, the wind and us" (and it rimes in Dutch "hier gaan over het tij de maan, de wind en wij")
Man this made my Dutch heart feel really good ayy
"Doe normaal" is poorly translated though. The Dutch verb "doen" is something like the English verb "to do". The saying can't be translated literally. But it means something like "behave yourself" or "get your it together". And it's almost always used informal.
For example, if someone is rude you would say "doe normaal". Meaning you expected better from them and that their normal behaviour is better than that.
It means; Steek je hoofd niet boven het maaiveld (polical correctness in the Netherlands is not a fad; it is the state system)
@@arposkraft3616 It has nothing to do with political* correctness. It's just the only definition of "Doe normaal" that I knew.
It's possible that I'm wrong, but I'm definitely not the only one applying said sentence this way.
See for yourself: context.reverso.net/translation/dutch-english/doe+normaal
Then again, I could be wrong. Or there could be multiple meanings for that one saying.
@@ronaldtempel Yep. It depends on what group you are in, when 'doe normaal' is said. And 'group' is a bit abstract. Some people think it's political, others think it's just a warning somebody is pushing the limits. And Dutchies love to disagree and think only they are right, so they must start a discussion.
the extended version is something like: Just act normal, that's weird enough ~ doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg
@@Defhrone I think that's the version arPos Kraft ment. I was thinking more along the lines of "Doe effe normaal". There the extended version doesn't apply. Anyway, we're kind of proving Voor Naam's point here.
My great grandfather was one of the 5 head (hydraulic) engineers of the Afsluitdijk.
Tulips are actually not dutch we really liked them in or colonial times so we took them with us to the Netherlands but originaly they are from the middel east
Klopt komt uit Turkije. Hetzelfde geldt met Delfts blauw die uit China komt.
turkey right?
@@AafkeBrinkman Delfts blauw komt gewoon uit Nederland hoor, het was bedoeld als imitatie van het duurdere Chinese porselein.
Yeah the thing about tulips and the netherlands isnt that they come from here but we had that crazy thing going on with them when they would sell for a complete "grachtenpand"
Middel ligt ergens bij Zwolle. Geen tulp te zien daar.
Dat Middel East van joe ligt vast meer richting Winterswijk.
Phillips actually started out with light bulbs. I was always so fascinated listening to story's about Phillips origin told by my grandpa.
Correction: WADDEN ISLANDS not walden.
Walden; or, Life On The Islands, yeah I remember that book by Henri David Thoreau 😉
@babbling Along
U mean life in the woods? Look up what "wadden" or "wad lopen" means. Then u know where the name wadden islands came from.
@@tamaras3959 I was trying to make a joke but it didn't land, oh well.
@@tamaras3959 I actually heard a story when I went on a Wadlopen trip, a few years ago. A story about the Romans who came up with _Waden..._ or _Wading_ in English. Over time that changed to Wad and much later Wadlopen.
@@EdwinvandenAkker interesting! lopen means walking 😊 wad walking😄
Great reaction video, you gave your own input and shared your thoughts!
The word Yankee(s) actually comes from the Dutch name Jan-Kees.
Nee, joh, het is Jank-Kees. Orang huilie huilie. Just kidding....
You are awesome as well man! Keep up the good work - as a Dutchman I have to say this is very amusing while refreshing. Sorry Mexicans for Robben-2014 though (not really, for NL it was such a relief 😁) but still I can understand the resentment of that time. Anyway, I like the way this channel is going content-wise!
Thank you! And yeah, that’s how I got over it, thinking “if the roles were switched and Mexico won the same way NL did, I would be cheering, soo fair play” lol.
Robben the real flying dutchmen😁
Cool you watched it.. I miss a couple of imported things but it's pretty good :)
keep in mind that the dutch engineers also helped develop dubais's palm island.... in fact dubai contracted dutch company's to direct the building
Fun fact: while school teaches us we traded New Amsterdam for Surinam, the Britons actually took New Amsterdam and the Dutch had done the same with Surinam and they just decided to not fight to get the land back. Surinam is now independant but Surinamese citizens have special status here, and can work and follow education here under similar conditions as Dutch citizens.
That last part is not true anymore, it has'nt been for years now. My family from Suriname have to follow the same regulations as immigrants from other countries. And it is way worse to come here from Suriname then from Palestine or some other "warzone".
@@ilparil5236 oh I'm sorry I didn't know that :( I must have been thinking of Curacau and Aruba sorry ❤
Nice reaction video! Greetings West-Coast Netherlands! And there are a lot of Dutch water engineers working in the U.S!
I'm Dutch and proud of it and I'm also tall for a lady, I'm 183 cm.
Love your reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
13:28 we recently got a couple of wolf packs on the veluwe
Yes, German wolves. Germany is larger and less populated, they managed to have some wolf packs in the wild. When those packs grow larger, each year a handful of young wolves is looking for a new home and a partner.
There was a lot of discission about wolves and sheep. The Germans have high fences and two sturdy dogs to keep their sheep safe. Well, in the Netherlands most fixed fences were taken away, for open landscape reasons. Sheep are kept behind low fences. No match for a wolf. Should wolves be behind a fence, in a nature reserve? Or should the farmers protect their sheep and claim when a wolf had a lamb sandwich? And how about safety of our small children? A lot of discussion for a few wolves. Can't blame farmers they don't like wolves. For nature, a wolf pack could be very good. Question is, how to solve the problems. It'll be okay, I don't think park rangers will grow a pack of hungry wolves, feeding on surprised tourists.
Im from the netherlands, some of my family members live in houston, and i was at the airport a day before the flooding. I think Texas actually did ask for help from dutch water management experts, or something like that.
Ahh that’s cool! I was also at the airport the day before the flooding! Wonder if it was the same one xD.
@@datboireggie5285 Haha, that is really coincidental!
It was the George bush one I think. I dont remeber the name, that one just looked the largest on google maps.
@@-gemberkoekje-5547 haha yes! that was the one I was at too! Small world!
@@datboireggie5285 We almost finished New Orleans with a real wall. (not a fence) On the case in NY after Sandy as well.
www.texastribune.org/2019/07/15/can-masters-flood-help-texas-protect-its-coast-hurricanes/
And when we finish Texas? ISS will be able to see it from space. A single levee rock moves? Your going to know about it. They all come with GPS now.
How to stop the North Sea from rising? Yea we dam it. The entire North Sea. Cos ... why not? ;-)
I enjoyed this, learned some things about my country as well.
I miss the bikes in this program. The Netherlands is also known as the most cycling country. With special cycle paths from city to city. You could also watch a you tube video about this.
Great reaction.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Yes we are very famous for our bycicle safety. Bysicle lanes are often seperated from other traffic. Snd the bycicle is taken very serious by other traffic. No toy thing here but a serious means of transport. Look at what people ate transportong by bike without falling over, it’s hilarious🤣
I'm from holland and i am 1,93m tall. Its kinda annoying if you go to another country. When walking in a crowd i feel like a skyscraper lol.
Yeah, what about hotelbeds...always too short!
My son didn’t even fit his tent while camping..his feet would stick out , so he always had to sleep like a curles up baby 😜
I stumbled onto this and loved it. And here a fun fact. Among the famous people he says michiel de ruyter. He was a dutch sailer that once went into the london thames and blew up the english fleet in their own harbor
Dutch people speak english very well and understand every word. Why? their television is english 50% there is a lot of english movies, series, channels from usa england. And they speak german and french as well many of them. So average dutch speaks 4 languages.
dont forget we got subtitels on tv ....not like many countrys voice overs
Also another new fact: this is already a video that is a few years old. There are a few more other regional dutch languages from other regions that are also now excepted, those are Gronings, Drents and Limburgs
Dutch tech is actually very famous around the world, albeit not always known to be Dutch.
Our water technology is being sold worldwide with examples like all those islands on the coast of Dubai, shaped like a palm tree and such (yes Dubai had waaay too much money on their hands lol we're not cheap :P) Also they are helping the New Orleans area to fix their flooding and aged water network problems. (could be put on hold under current political influences, am unsure on that, cause.. again.. we not cheap, our national knowledge comes at a price)
We are active all over the globe in water management in any way or form, even if something impossible needs to be salvaged from the sea, its often a Dutch crew doing it.
And i am not even going to mention the same kind of know-how in agriculture, science, technology and transportation we are part of globally, in detail, because that would make this posting a lot longer hehehe
Thnx for the react Reggie :D
That’s awesome! The more and more I learn about the NL the more I like it! I saw in a video recommended by someone in this comment section that the NL has the worlds only water ambassador! That’s pretty cool! Lol
@@datboireggie5285 yeah i like our weird little country, maybe some day you will visit and see the sights, if you do i bet you will like it :) (and yes, we do have a water ambassador :P if its wet, we are around it somewhere hehehe)
Re salvaging things from the bottom of the sea.., Remember the Kursk? Russian nuclear submarine?
dude you nailed that pronunciation of eredivisie
Lots of love from the Netherlands!
🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷💚🌷
Dutch engineers did some work for New Orleans in 2017 , didn't fix the complete problem because that would mean infrastructure changes, but they did what they could
Fun fact: clogs are indeed an early form of safetyshoes. Nowadays there are wooden clogs available with steel soles which have an official S3 safety shoe classification. Not cheap though, as they are made to measure.
I am Dutch. I speak German English French a little bit Polish and am now doing a Chinese language course. you should look for more information about making Flevoland because Urk a little island is now a part of the main land during the make of Flevoland. the Dutch also made many artificial islands in Dubai. I think you will also find it interesting to look deeper into how we deal with water, which is unique in the world. thank you for viewing our little country. like we always say: Tot Ziens
It really grinds my gears that they named it the Walden Islands.
King WILLIAM hurt a lot more, and other people's names 😂😭
@@Avatar-Destiny When your name is Destiny, you are not allowed to complain about William. Everybody knows it is Alexander.
Destiny! Bestemming bereikt, hoi, gg-gg-gg! Nou lekker... ben je mooi klaar mee. 😂😂
@@voornaam3191 my real name isn't Destiny, en al was dat wel zo wat heeft dat ermee te maken? Vind het gewoon vreselijk dat zijn naam Willem is maar wordt veranderd naar William. Dat klopt gewoon niet!
Another fun fact: The Dutch VOC (Dutch East India Company) was the biggest most valuable company in the world ever. Adjusted for inflation today it would be worth 7.9 trillion dollars, the equivalent of the GDP's of Japan and Germany combined or the combined total worth of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, ExxonMobil, Berkshire Hathaway, Tencent, and Wells Fargo.
Hope you’ll do a video like this (+Eurovision obviously) on Norway in the future. Also I immediately knew what flower you were talking about because of a silly song called "tulipaner i Amsterdam" (tulips in Amsterdam) because my teacher in primary school kept referencing it. 😂
Hope you’re doing good 🇳🇴
Sure thing! There’s just so many countries and songs but I’ll get there eventually!(:
I Love Norway , driven many times as courier, sometimes even all the way up to Trömso... good luck on building the floating highways, hope to drive on them soon!!!
The Dutch didn't voluntarily trade Nieuw Amsterdam, we kinda had to because we would have gotten our arses kicked anyway. Also, it's one of the largest exporters of food, mainly dairy.
Hey Reggie - really enjoying your geography reactions. Thanks so much for doing them. Incidentally, you were surprised to learn Philips was a Dutch company, but you also mentioned that you knew about Dutch football. I assume that you will know of the team PSV Eindhoven? Well... PSV stands for Philips Sports Vereniging (Philips Sports Club) !!
Ahh! I had no idea!!
@@datboireggie5285 and Romario and Ronaldo started in Europe at PSV
If I remember correctly the dutch did send our water management specialists over to help after Katrina. But you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. If I remember correctly it was a finance issue.
I’m really proud to be Dutch. And I’m happy this is out cause we are more than only weed, windmills and tulips.
Also fun to know a couple of english words that originated from dutch: Dollar (Daalder), Brooklyn (Breukelen), Harlem (Haarlem), Yankees comes from the new amsterdam times when there were a lot of people called Jan en Kees about which turned in Jankees and then Yankees, also fun fact Martin Van Buren was a president of dutch descent, he was born in a small town called Kinderhook, NY, and he used for his election the 'nickname' OK meaning Old Kinderhook, still used today, but with a different meaning. other words from dutch language are Bazooka, Booze, Boulevard, Bully, and many more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Dutch_origin
That's cool brother. new West-Frisian friend here 😎
Giethoorn does have roads only around the area with the canals. It's not it doesn't have roads at all.
One thing that makes the Netherlands such a big economic power even though they're such a small country is the trading culture. Most European countries are self-sustaining if they have to. Like they can grow all the food they need on their own soil and have been able to do this for centuries. When the roman empire fell, the whole of Europe was chaos, there was no higher military power to protect anyone so there were a lot of dangerous bandits and small wars between elite houses to gain power. In that time basically all of Europe went into lockdown with self-sustaining villages trying to protect themselves. All of Europe except the Netherlands that is, because the Netherlands was not able to be fully self-sustaining they were the only country that kept trading with the rest of Europe. So when the whole of Europe stood still in development and economical power, the Netherlands actually grew in power and technology. This basically created the trading culture because we know we need others to succeed. (This was a rough explanation of our history, it's been a while since I had history class)
Like the problem with dijk are that they will take a huge part of the beach and will ruin the view if your on the other side, but from above the dijk it looks awsome
Prince Willem van Oranje was not a king but a Stadtholder (more a military leader).
The governmental power was with the Parliament and the Raadspensionaris (leader of the government like nowadays Prime Minister).
In 1814 Willem V became Willem I King of the Netherlands and that included Belgium and Luxemburg, at that time.
Later the Belgians revolted in 1839 and France came to their aid.
Originally The Kingdom of 1814 was made this large to have a more "powerfull" nation north of France.
The flower you mean is a tulip but its actually from turkey but for some reason us dutch ppl get the credit
The first windwill u see is along the Hoofdvaard in hoofddorp ;)
We also invented things like the speedcamera or what ever its name is in dutch we call it an flitspaal
@4:35 what is far more interesting is that that small island of snt maarten has 2 airfields (ours the coolest one maybe coolest in the world bar saba) which are located about 6 miles apart divided by literally 1 road
Fun fact: the first stock market allowed the dutch east india company to become the biggest company ever to exist. In todays terms it would be 7-8 trillion USD.
ASML also builds the maschines you use to make microchips.
Come to think of it, we've got a lot to be proud of ☺️
After Katrina dutch engineers where asked the make a plan for the protection of the usa coast line. It was deemed to expensive, by the gouvernement. They said they would rather pay to clean up the mess. I have no clue how human lives fit into that plan 😳
We Do somethimes have floodings. Especially round the big rivers in the south. They changed some policies, but there are places where there are to much build up in the natural river flooding areas.
20:49 G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Hallo my friend, how nice I am from the Netherlands and I come from the same village of Jan Smit the Host of the Best Zangers (he is also a singer by the way). . . . Love from VOLENDAM🇾🇪🌷😘
Verkeerde vlag man
Thats a nice flag of yemen there
Jan Smit is not a singer he's just a dude who's trying to be gezellig. Rapper Sjors is the best singer of the Netherlands
The dutch usually aid the rest of the world including the US during floodings, the option of having us build dijken in the us has been on the table for ages, but it keeps being voted out because it doesnt make beaches etc as appealing if there is a hill type wall..
U should look up the flooding of the netherlands in 1953, that was a bit of a disaster.
William of Orange inherited the title Prince of Orange of his cousin. His own title was count of Nassau (Germany). Orange is a city in the south of France. With this title he became a weallthy boy/man. under his lead the 80 years war with Spain started. After his death this resulted in the republic of the 7 provinces, under the lead of the Orange-family but not as kings.
wow I didn't know houston had such a problem with flooding :O taught me something new here
AMSL, WIFI, OORT-cloud, KUIPER-belt,
CD, VIDEO-cassette,
and a lot more invented in the 16hundreds.
If you ever come to my country, please don’t just stay in Amsterdam, otherwise you’ll get a wrong view and impression of the country. We’re more than that city. Only people who live in Amsterdam like Amsterdam 😂 Visit Utrecht (my city ☺️), Volendam, Maastricht, Den Haag, Keukenhof and Kinderdijk which they mentioned in the video and so many other places!
wrm zou je volendam bezoeken als toerist wil je toc niet naar jan smith of nick&simon kijken ze moeten naar rdam gaan aangezien het de meest moderne stad uit nederland is en zoals je zei idd ook utrecht enz maar volendam nah
You can visit the city of Alkmaar. There are historical buildings and during summertime every Friday morning a cheese market. From Alkmaar you can visit the beaches or other historical towns like Enkhuizen , Medemblik or Edam. Near Medemblik you'll find a polder, Wieringermeer. At the top of it there is a former island (Wieringen), the only place in the province of Noord-Holland where Vikings landed.
Today announced: De Beste Zangers edition 2020: Miss Montreal, Suzan & Freek, Stef Bos, Milow, Tabitha, Diggy Dex and Wulf! Hosts: Nick & Simon.
Shouldn't make a 2nd season the line-up is so much below the level of the first.
@@steveluth3139 2nd? Number 12!
i am from Holland to yea man nice to see thats not only we leuningen much form other country's
i love to see that when i play a game with people from other countries they dont know the netherlands. but the are using things we made everyday.
some dutch inventions are: WIFI, Bluetooth, submarines, CD's, Python code, microscope, stock market, fire hoses, 4WD cars, speed camera(sorry), electrocardiogram (heart beat sensor), dvd/blu ray and golf (colf) so do you know us now?
William of Orange never was king the first king was lodewijk Napoleon when the frensh took over and Willem I was the first dutch dutch king
@1:00 Pretty cool you started with bands, I think its an often overlooked but decently good part of our dutch culture, dependent on exact music taste theres some nice things to find. also some big ones people usually have no idea of.
Philips started in dutch city Eindhoven. as lampmaker. My grandpa worked there
@7:30 ow ... we know... don't you worry.. we know... various companys also offered contracts but no bites some things been done around new orleans but the current solutions won't be up to spec for the type of flooding in the gulf of mexico north with hurricanes, it requires quite big breakers which so far noone is willing to fork up the money for opting for lower level solutions instead
In the netherlands they collect royal bloodlines of each country in the world.
Dutch engineers actually are working right now in Houston to tackle the floodinghazards
I am dutch and I really liked this video!!!
Fun fact dutch engineers are called in for most projects that include water. tbh for most scientific projects too...
Actually.. the windmills where for different purposes:
- Sawmill sawing wood to planks and beams, often whole trees in 1 go with multple saws going at same time on the tree.
- Water mill to move water to higher elevated waterways to keep the lower land dry.
- Milling flour, from grain to flower between two big millstones (about 3 meter, ~8 feet diameter)
- powering mechanics, tho very rare.
flour, not flower
@@sogghartha yeah, was past my bedtime, and was tired :)
i never understood why the us didn't ask the dutch for help with the water issues. after the hurricane katrina there were a lot of engineers who wanted to help.
In Amerika kunnen kunnen de mensen hun heil ergens anders zoeken omdat er genoeg hogere en veilige gebieden zijn. De Nederlanders zijn verplicht om hun kleine leefgebied te beschermen! Hun enige alternatief is om Belg of Duitser te worden.
20:20 ..he forgot to mention The Netherlands has the best Symphonic Metal Bands in the World, Golden Earring ( who exist longer then The Rolling Stons, headlined for LEd Zeppelin, had KISS, Van Halen and Aerosmith open shows for them)
Not dutch and I wear my clogs to go put out my rubbish and sometimes to do gardening because wooden shoes actually are comfy.
There's a town called Amerika as well as a lake with the name 'Canada'.
We're silly like that.
Dutch found new zealand. Abel tasman found the land but never got to land he just named it. He went to australia and of course tasmania which he both named. He came from Zeeland, terneuze n
We're also quite difficult to insult, and very forgiving. Very caring of each other, high appreciation rates of living and productivity on the workfloor with a healthy work/life balance. Love The Netherlands.
As seen on TV every night, very friendly people, well behaved and polite.
You are always welcome in the netherlands after the corona shit. We have so much little gems. If you are interested in ww2 stuff visit Westerbork or Vught too. Grolsch is dutch beer too. 27 april is kingsday. Then we wear orange. Listen also to within temptation - angels
All of theses museums are a 20 min drive from my house lolz
What about the New Years diving also known as nieuwjaarsduik
Well I'm from a town called groningen
And in my town there is always a bar open (and so it will be again once covid is dealt with)
So come visit and you will like it
Make sure too ask around the locals will know where to go when
And like a zillion students
Bassicly spring break but all year round
There are still Dutch bands you haven’t reacted to.
Ayreon. Try, as a starter, The day the world brakes down. Floor Jansen is in it and Simone Simons from Epica. After that react to songs from one of the two live concerts:
Ayreon Universe Live (Floor Jansen and Marko Hietale from Nightwish among several other well known musicians.
The electric castle live and other tales (Simone Simons and Mark Janssen from Epica among several very well know musicians.
Scarlet Stories is a new band. There are connections with Ayreon.
The Gathering.
I live in the dry part of the Netherlands.
Very strange to hear how little Americans know about the Netherlands (and Europe).
We learned more about the Americas than you about Europe.
I speak Dutch, German, English, a little bit of French and a few Dutch dialects.
Clogs are ideal to keep your feet warm. Most people don’t wear them especially not outside.
Most Dutch names and words are pronounced wrong. Gouda was ok.
Since Trump the friendship with the US has cooled down as with almost every other European country.
God created the world but the Dutch created the Netherlands.
I subbed boi :)
