Another thing with "going Dutch". I like to go somewhere as equals. You don't owe me anything and I don't owe you anything. I think for Dutch women it is also a thing that you can take care of yourself.
So, about the cycling under influence.. officially, it's not allowed to participate in traffic under influence. But, for walking and cycling they're not going to fine you or anything unless you're being like super dangerous and/or super annoying.
I rode my bike in the States... to the mall, to the hospital for clinicals, through the drive-thru, to school, to the movies and grocery store... and once to the airport... the faces of the Americans: Priceless!😂 One of my teachers was like: I saw you riding your bike downtown... my response was been doing that for 4 years. But you were in a cast: well that was 6 weeks (wasn't able to drive as it was my left foot (American size 9.5 men's) and I had a stick shift, couldn't get the clutch to work). Yeah, but it snowed: I answered 3 days 😝🤣😂🤣 in order to get onto the road walking, it cost a lot of energy and was slippery, with my mountain bike I had plenty of traction on the snow, so way easier to get around then walking. Due to knee injury I am unable to ride a bike and have enough speed to balance enough to get forward. On stationary bike I ride against 1 Newton(the lowest possible setting) and if I go higher my knee can't take it...
Fun fact , the netherlands has to gether with iceland the higest percentage of peope with green eyes in the world. Quite amazing as its one of the rarest eye colours as only 2% of the world population has them . 18% of all dutch woman have green eyes . dutch men about 10-14 % I
I don't even have a car, never needed one, have 3 bicycles, a regular city bike, a mountain bike, and an E-bike. I go everywhere in the Netherlands and sometimes I take the bike on the train.
i am 6 foot, and always been one of the smallest kids of the class way back when i was in school. And be prepared, if you make a joke to a dutch person about their length, you will be mocked back! Direct, remember :P When going on a date, i always paid. When in a relation, you rotate or split, depends a bit, also on peoples finances. I can take a friend out and pay for it if i know they dont have finances. And you cant be drunk while being in the streets, not on foot, not on the bike. you might get a ticket, but when you dont make a hassle or stand out in the crowd, then its ok.
@@MoreAussieTashthere are places you can get drunk, but they are putting restrictions in a lot of places because the drunks make a total nuisance and annoy the public....
I'm a woman and 5,5. Here in the Netherlands I'm pretty small not even average. It's quite sad if you think about it. Also you can get a ticket for drinking and driving a bike. Mostly the police kind of ignore it though. That's why most people who want to drink go by bike. The police only step in, in really bad situations. About the directness and spending your money wisely, that's very true. We just are butally honest and like to spend our own money efficiently. Also everything is quite expensive here, we are one of the most expensive countries in Europe eventhough, we do import stuff we mostly sell our own products. Here are also some important things some Dutch people have invented: - WiFi -Bluetooth - the stockmarket - submarines -telescopes/ microscopes - the eye test - casettes, CD, DVD, Blue-Ray - Fair Trade and let's not forget, the orange carrot!
I think most people in The Netherlands speak English at a a2 or b1 level but I think not that many get to the c2 level. but we are not afraid to use it even if we are sure we make many mistakes. Our focus on being able to communicate attitude sees to it that we do use English... even if it is not quite correct all the time.
i am 100% direct, when i am in a discussion with someone and i disagree with his/her position they hear that directly from me. i don't like wasting time uselessly. sometimes people start shouting or talking louder, then i make it clear to them that very weak in there mind. even my ceo had something like that with me once, after a cooling off period he came to my office and apologized, he made it clear that he appreciated it directly honestly, 1 month later i was rewarded with a promotion because my opinion was clearly better than his and the company had saved a lot of money and he now values my input more. (ps: i,m dutch)
Morning Tash I enjoyed watching this video. Love how honest the Dutch are. This was fun looks like most stereotypes are right as they are with most countries in the end lol. Love me a tall man 😂 Have a super day🫶
Even some Germans thought I was very direct hehehehe. But yeah, we are direct. In my opinion it is a good thing, as you do not waste time on things. You hear what you get. Nahhh not going Dutch, only double Dutch ;) ;) ;) All I will say about the use of soft drugs, a coffeeshop is not a place you go to for a cup of coffee. Yes you can drink and ride your bike, however police can stop you and even take your drivers license if you are pissed out of your skull. (Nice expression in English :D ) And before someone says something about this, I actually read this in a local newspaper. It surprised me to be honest. If you have training wheels at age 4, the other kids at kindergarten will laugh at you. By that time you should be able to properly ride your bike. Tash, you forgot to mention what stereotype you have about The Netherlands, whether true or not.
I've been hearing for most of my life: Hey! It's cold up there for a long time. I don't think they paid attention in school. Warm air rises upwards. And what is it again. Frost on the gond! Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.
That is very good idea, Tash. Canada has experienced a tax boom due to the sale of Canabis. While the states in USA that have legalized Canabis have reported 30 to 60 million per year for thier taxing Canabis.
Yeah, we do not like to spend money on things we don’t need and yeah, we do like to divide the bill of a meal with friends in portions, but with my friends the bill is always devided by the number of people and never specifically calculated per person. I have never experienced otherwise … I don’t think we’re cheap or cringy either, I indeed like the word “efficient” from a previous comment. It’s no wonder creditcards never took off in the Netherlands; the motto over here is: don’t spend money that you don’t have! At the same time the Dutch are one of the most generous people on earth when it comes to donations to charities and help organisations …
Cycling under influence can result in a ticket or a "slumber party" at police HQ however it's something like softdrug in general: it's not legal, it's tolerated... Up to a certain point of course, when you start harassing people and/or have very obvious balancing issues police WILL intervene
Keep in mind with the biking that the key skill is not riding the bike but to do so in busy traffic. That requires quite a bit of experience and without this is actually dangerous. Lots of tourists renting bikes have accidents because they do not understand what they are doing (and some have barely any bike control skills either).
About the cheapness "going dutch". I believe if you're invited on a date, you can expect to not having to pay for it. But only if you don't order a much more expensive meal, than the one who invited you. Offering to pay for the meal or even just your own part is strongly positive. Paying for your own part of the meal, also doesn't obligates you to give anything in return later. Women might like that, as they don't feel pressured to have sex with the guy later. XD
I always find this strange. I understand women feel that way, but the real problem there is that guys should not expect anything "in return". If that's what you're after, you should hire an escort, not go on a date. Paying the bill does not obligate her to do anything. You wanted to take her on a date, so you pay for the date. You're not paying her for anything. You're simply covering the expenses of doing what you wanted. It's that simple.
@@jbird4478 I mean, anyone offering to go on a date with someone, does so for some kind of personal gain. Just 2 friends getting together shouldn't have one friend be expected having to pay for all of it, unless the other friend already did something for the other friend before hand.
The thing that annoys me more than any stereotype is how everyone keeps talking about Amsterdam as if it's the entire country. There are more bikes than people in the Netherlands, not just in Amsterdam.
about the riding a bike under influence you can drink and ride a bike as long as you dont form a danger to yourself or the public so if you are swerving on the road because of the alcohol then its a no no but as long as you are cycling safe you can ride your bike under influence yeah
I am the oppisete of some stereotypes, i dont like to be blunt and direct only with close friends, i always gave away my money at school amd shared it with my friends and didnt ask it back,but i am blond have blue eyes but i have the avarahe dutch female height maybe just 1 cm taller than it. I can live without a bike, i hate using it even, i have it but i use it maybe 2 or 3 times a year.
about softdrugs, they are legal, that aside, I smoke,,,but only regular cigarettes, in my youth I smoked soft drugs but usually got a laughing kick and nobody cares.
Well... by law you can not participate in trafic while beeing drunk, same goes for riding the bike. By law a glass of beer or two you are fine, beyond that you can get a fine but it does not happen alot. As long as you behave and are able to ride in a straight line you should be fine.
I know it's technically not allowed, but I have never heard of anyone getting a fine for cycling drunk. And in many busy nightlife areas you'll see cops just standing around as everyone gets on their bike to get home.
@@MoreAussieTash he is right actually... but the risk that you are getting stopped by a police officer is soooo little when you ride a bike.... so everybody goes partying by bike and not by car hahaha (I also do, having a electric scooter {no it is not going that fast}, than I dare to drink some wine, but I will NEVER drink alcoholics when I have to drive my car!)
Iemand die drugs gebruikt is verantwoordelijk voor dus , ik gebruik niet nooit gedaan waarom het stinkt vies troep voor mijn zijn drugs gewoon sporten en activiteiten moe worden en lekker slapen en gezond weer op 😊
The "going dutch of cheap" comes from Christianity. Or better Calvinism.... Jean Calvijn was a protestant Christian theologian. He was the extreme of eat sober, drink sober, wear sober clothes, give to the poor, give to the church, live a sober life and start saving. now much less, but still in our DNA i guess
i dont think thats the main factor.. its all about trauma back in 1600s Tulip Mania... like in 1929 people lose a lot of money in a very short period of time...
10:30 its illegal, but everyone does it. We are exceptional Drunk cyclists ^^ Much safer than drunk driving with a car, for your surroundings anyway.

My dad used to say; "You can spend your money only once. So think twice, how to spend it".
I agree 😀
Quote from my dad: once you buy it, thats the end of pleasure😂 kopen is einde genot.
I only go Dutch when I'm in a group, cause they're always some guys who only take and never give a round of drinks.
