  • In this episode, Michelle and Alex check off a new province in the Netherlands -- Zeeland -- starting with a day in the beautiful town of Goes (pronounced "goose" with a hghghghg). Here, they visit the ONLY Wendy's in the Netherlands (or maybe all of Europe?) and try the famous "Zeeuwse bolus".

    I want to highlight the Zeeland coat of arms which you only briefly mentioned. It is a lion standing in water up to its hind legs, and the Zeeland motto is "luctor et emergo" (sp?) which translates as "I struggle and emerge/rise above", both of which are really poignant considering Zeeland's history of fighting the water. A very cool combination if you ask me.

    • @TheFreshEC

      It comes from the battle against the Spanish during the 80 Years' War. The full length of the motto is ''Autore Deo, favente Regina, Luctor et Emergo'' which means ''By the authority of God and the favour of the Queen I will struggle and emerge''. It's a common mistake to think it's about the fight against the water.

    Yay! You’re in Middelburg! My birth town.. Oh I love it there, obviously bc I still know every street and alley in the city, but it’s just a great little package of a city, with old stuff, interesting architecture, pretty parks, canals, it’s a stone’s throw away from the beach (basically a couple of kms in every direction). You should definitely visit Het Smulhoekje, my go-to snack joint after school back in the 80s. It used to be a very small wooden shack, but it got an upgrade a decade or so ago, so now you can even sit outside and enjoy the friet oorlog!

    Nice to see you visit my province. If you still there I would highly recommend going to Domburg or Oost-kapelle and go to the forest and beach there. In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful parts of the Netherlands. Also you have a park called Neeltje Jans, it's a park that teaches about the Waternoodsramp from 1953 that killed thousands and a lot about water in general. I think you would really enjoy a visit there.
    I'm from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, you need to go trough the Westerscheldetunnel to get there (and pay 10 euro 2-way) but might be cool to see that tunnel and visit Zeeuws-vlaanderen, the beach side is cool and Hulst is a really nice looking small city.
    Edit: fun fact: New-Zealand got it's name from Zeeland, so we are sort of Old-Zealand.

    My go to place as a kid was French fries from a Chinese takeaway. They typically put far more fries in the bag and they took on a Chinese kind of flavour. We kind of promoted them by talking about them and they started selling more and more. At a certain point they stopped selling fries, because they were selling more fries than Chinese food and the real snackbars started complaining about that. They did make an exception for us though.

However, your intro is special, unique and last for just 2.6 seconds (I checked on UA-cam) and that is PERFECT. Its short (and odd enough) to be remembered, but not irritating.

    Not been to Zeeland a lot. Have had some good snacks and pastries in Middelburg though. The Market Square is nice and picturesque. About the same thing as in any other large town that was also prominent in the Golden Age. If you are in Zeeland anyway, there are some relics and buildings from those days that are fun to include in a sightseeing trip.
    But the real one, and frankly, only, reason that makes a trip to Zeeland worthwhile as a tourist, are the Deltaworks, those are pretty spectacular. One of the Wonders of the world, unironically. Ok, and beaches are a bit less crowded than the ones in N/S Holland, and some of the nature, like in Saeftinge, is pretty interesting, Otherwise, personally, I remember the province as eye wateringly boring: endless stretches of grass, potatoes, and sugar beets, dotted with villages that just exude an aura of "nothing ever happens here and we like it that way". I think I would have loved growing up there though.

    I grew up in a fries shop, so I got to know and eat different snacks and later my parents had a brown cafe / lunchroom and every Wednesday afternoon I went to lunch In my parents' restaurant and I come to order everything from the menu that I felt like and I didn't have to pay anything because I still lived at home at the time. Now years later, my parents no longer have the restaurant and the fries shop, but my father still likes to cook for me and the rest of the family, so I still come home for dinner regularly and sometimes I invite my parents over for dinner now that I'm old enough to spoil them.
