    Been on Urk a lot for work on some of the inland cargo-vessels that come from there and it's like was said a few times in the video... They respect you if you work hard and /or deliver a good product and overall they're nice people and nobody tried to convert me to anything, maybe coz i'm from another old fishing village x
    called Scheveningen... What's really good, work done... customer satisfied.. payed in full immediately on 40 to 50K jobs/equipment...

      The Urkers dialect as far as I could understand, he does not pronounce/articulate well:
      He really had the boat for 12 years by now, it began in Amsterdam. He sailed with it to Friesland/ Vlieland (unsure). There was a plan for 4 years to sail it to England, but alas/ sadly that did not happen.

    Wikipedia: There are fewer than 30 confirmed patients known to suffer from this disease; 22 of them are from the Netherlands and 14 are from Urk.[3] Whilst previously an island in the Zuiderzee, in 1942 the land was reclaimed.[4] However, the residents still remained a closed community, and the centuries of isolation have led to a consequence in almost exclusive intermarriage. This has increased the risk of certain hereditary disorders such as Van Buchem's and has promoted several hereditary characteristics within Urk.

    There is a certain beauty that the people are pretty much as you would expect, given the back story. You can watch this from Japan and realize that if you were born in an insular location, you would also have developed similar small-town traits, skewed towards your own country. What I mean is we really are one big family and not all that different. Credit to the guy filming.

    5:50 really depends on the sea/road traffic and the bridge itself. the closest one to my home goes is between baarn and bunschoten which goes over the Eem(small river) and is about 20 meters long(the part that rises) in the cases of this bridge its one deck so it all goes to one side but you also have double deck where they have decks of about the same length going in either direction.
    in the summer it might take a long time for it to go down again due to more boats being active there due to fun trips with higher boats. while outside of the summer when it goes up you might only have one boat that goes past and it goes up less regularly.
    for a single boat i think about 2-3 minutes before the barriers are back up
    25:00 the shot they have here is a Flügel, german(its a dutch drink tho) for chicken its very popular here in the Netherlands at parties

    Kibbeling is acually a by product from the skandanvians. They used to catch Cod fish but trew away the heads. the Dutch fisherman in that area, bought up the heads and cleaned out the cheeks. The fried cheeks its the orginal kibbeling, now its also Cod filet, but that the history. nowadays dutch fisherman still fish and buy fish in Norway.

    i had a friend at school that came from another very self isolated village, Bunschoten.
    and she had to test her partner, from the same vilage, to see if they were genetically compatible and have kids without any hereditary diseases. solely due to originated from an area with a small genepool.
    also got an aunt that comes straigh outta katwijk!
    that also has a population originating from just a few families.
    which would explain some of my nephews' moronic viewpoints.

    The Wieringermeer was the first polder that was reclaimed from the Zuiderzee, and the land was added to the province of Noord Holland. Initially its creation was planned before building the Afsluitdijk, but the need for agricultural land changed the plans. In april 1945 the Germans blew up the dikes to prevent invasion by the allied forces. By the end of 1945 the inundation was already reversed, and reconstruction was done very quickly

  • @dutchyjhome
    @dutchyjhome 3 місяці тому +5

    As the vast and convincing majority of The Netherlands is not involved in any religion, or they are atheist, it usually are the small fisherman communities or other rural communities in which religion plays a dominant role in daily life. When you're not from around but you're of good will and you're not aware of how the dominance of a religion or church may be locally one can easily get into conflict with offended locals. I mean when a lady wears a bikini and a typical beach dress and she wants to visit Urk on a Sunday like that....well a riot is guaranteed, since dressing like that on the day of Christ is offending to the max locally, while in other (non religious) coastal areas women dressed like that will not even be noticed since all women are dressed like that on any day of the week so also on Sundays.
    Now this example is a reason why the people of Urk and other Strong Religious Communities have that reputation of being disrespectful / even violent towards people for whom Sunday is like Saturday a weekend day off; so nothing special, although this way of dressing is a constitutional right every woman has all over The Netherlands, and jet rejected in Urk and comparable Strong Religious Communities.
    So atheists are therefor limited in where they can go and how they can dress and what they actually can do.
    Their Religion is so dominant that an other way of looking at things, a more liberal way for example, is resolute out of the question and so this rigid opinion could easily be explained as strongly dismissive and inaccessible. This by the way was reason number one for these strong believers to leave The Netherlands back in the day of the founding fathers and go seek Religious Freedom in the USA, which they actually still do in 2024 since these religious communities belong to the very minority groups of The Netherlands and they feel the Atheist pressure from outside their communities.

    The man speaking dialect is talking about his boat, places he took it to, and how he wanted to take it to England, but that didn't happen in the end. It's not even a very difficult dialect tbh, most words are the same but pronounced with more of a drawl. A few letters have a slightly different sound.
    Edit: I was just reminded that the following happened in Volendam, not Urk... left it here anyway as an example of why "youth of today" narratives very often have causes you know nothing about. I do believe every fishing village, which Urk and Volendam both are, have some very stressful stuff going on, what with that being a somewhat uncertain and dangerous way to make a living. But that fire was indeed somewhere else. End edit.
    Coke island is what happened after a horrific fire in a café called 't Hemeltje maimed a lot of the youth living there at the time. The cops had trouble dealing with those youths afterwards because burn wounds will often stay painful and whenever they tried to physically remove youngsters from wherever they were causing mayhem, the youngsters would cry out in pain. Many of them were also very depressed about losing friends in that fire and being maimed themselves. As a result, drug use became common. It would seem it stayed that way after that.
    The café where the fire happened was called 't Hemeltje. Meaning little heaven...
    Berenburg, the drink they mixed with cola, is a very well known Dutch jenever or gin.

    Wouldn't call Urk a city.. Not even a town. It's just a village on a former island.

      @woutersplinter4981 the original inhabited island part is only about 10% of current Urk. With 22.000 people, multiple shop centres and ridiculous amount of churches you can safely call it a town

      @@SlashProducts as I said, I grew up in a village, of 24.000... but nevertheless a village. Leeuwarden or Gouda for example is a town, eventhough we call it a "stad" in Dutch, is the English term city not fitting. Calling Urk a town is an insult to the beautiful towns of the Netherlands.

    It's not just Urk or Volendam. If you want to move to the Netherlands as a conservative, go and life in rural areas. I'm from Drenthe.

    De taal is niet te verstaan zelfs voor een normaal sprekend nederland is het niet te verstaan ze zijn erg agressief ze gaan gelijk er op gelijk slaan of schelden, maar ze kunnen ook heel vriendelijk zijn dus dat nieuws is ook niet zo vriendelijk dus zelf ondervinding de serie die wordt uitgezonden is gewoon een spiegel dus in de werkelijkheid is het heel anders 😊

    For the pronounciation of Flevoland, see it like this. Flay (like clay) -vo (like volVO) -land
    So Fle (flay/clay) vo (volVo) land
    Fle-vo-land
    Good luck to anyone trynna learn pronounciation👍
