American Reacts to Dutch Culture (Mind Blown) 

I have an electric bike for daily use, A mountain bike for cruising, my grandma's bike as a backup bike and i used to have a bike for drunk evenings out but my dad gave it away without asking me which i didnt appreciate since the saddle was amazing and wouldve liked it on my electric one.

That story about that one little refugee boy from Iran crying when he realized he was the only kid who didn't "get a visit" from Sinterklaas or get any presents was so sad! It was kind of weird to see them laugh about it and pretty hard to stomach.

Fair enough! You live in the city?

Dutch immegrant to Germany (and back) here. I've lived through the German Saint Nicklaus at a young age, 2 decades ago. The black Pete was so so much worse than in NL. In Germany, they don't wear colourful clothes, most colour are the bright red lips and bright gold earrings, absolute caricature of slaves, and they don't have this gleeful happy vibe like Santa's Elves and Dutch Petes, but are to be grumpy, stern and are the ones to "deal punishment" to the bad kids. (Where in NL it is the Saint and his bag that comes with the threath of punishment to bad kids)

All places where people speak Dutch you have Sinterklaas

​@@jezusbloodie funny a Christian celebrating Pagan fest. Bet you do Ostara and Halloween too.

@@Seyone030 ​ @Seyone030 😂😂🤪 fucker thinks I'm a desert tribe religion follower. My runic display name contains the Germanic postfix "-thryth", meaning Daughter of Thor while my original RU-vid name drives the spot with Jezus. most Dutch aren't religious, just like Christmas these "holi"days (or as transliterated from Dutch "party-days") aren't celibrated in a religious context by most. The time from traditional North European Christmas up to the New Year's are simply known as "De Feestdagen", Thé Party Days. These days serve as a time of get together and to celebrate life and being together. The epitome of the Dutch cultural core phenomenon known as "gezellig" Sinterklaas is just a partyday slightly before those specifically for childeren to celibrate. The fertility practices (which you have given?the name of a suspected Germanic Goddess, not a holy day), like masive bonfires, painting eggs and whatnotgot subsumed into Eastern holiday. Halloween's ball only got rolling her in northern Europe after much and long exposure to hollywood. But seeing as you find all that somehow paradoxical lemme have you know: Christianity is only as successful as it is because early on it (as if it were a singular group lol but for this point I'm making, kind of is) was so succeful in adapting local deities as saints and angles while keeping local traditions by putting them in a Christian suit.

hahaha makes sense thank you

​​@@Thetravelingmindshowmay sound ridiculous but its the truth you eat it raw, the culture is tilt your head backwards pick up the haring by its "tail" and just eat it like that 😂 never done it myself because i do not like fish food beside smoked salmon tuna on pizza or kibbeling

There is no other way 👄🐟👌 Just a few weeks until Nieuwe Haring!

No 1 grap hering 2 open buthole 3move hering into buthole 4 consume hering 5 spit out the hering Thats the dutch wayn🇳🇱

And the songs can be seen as warnings for a dirty old man, hence the roe. lol

As a kid, at one point I owned 5 bikes... Although 3 of those were so called "bus krakjes" Roughly translated, basically a bike in such a poor condition, no one will want to steal it. Used to bicycle to and from the bus stop.

😂

Anatolian.....Turks are an Asian ethnic group...Saint Nicholas was before present day Turkey existed... different time, different context....he spoke Greek and Latin...

Totale stierenpoep; bekijk de documentaire die Arnold Jan Scheer gemaakt heeft over de oorsprong van het fenomeen "Zwarte Piet", Wild Geraas. Hij was daar al lang mee bezig voordat lamlendige ( buitenlandse) zeurpieten het nodig vonden om ook deze traditie als slavernij en discrimminassie te moeten betitelen. Eeuwige zielepieten, die na de onafhankelijkheid van die verschrikkelijke blanken niet wisten hoe snel ze naar het land van die onderdrukkers moesten komen..... En nog steeds klagen, en Burn Loot Murder steunen, en even niet willen weten wat er in Rhodesië/zimbabwe en Zuid-Afrika aan de hand is, en waarom het daar zo slecht gaat. Ik kan nog veel langer doorgaan maar ik sluit het af met een gezellig muziekje; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g_jUtiKSf1Y.html

Its bad for Americans, who have a tradition of doing blackface. It used to be fine in the Netherlands until we imported a lot of people and a lot of American culture.

@@TheSuperappelflap Americans ruin everything worldwide....the lack of culture...

Don't worry naughty in this case just means non catholic and female , but 15000 little girls where kidnapped and put on a boat never to be seen again.

@Woekkie No them weren't put on a boat them were abused and forced to working for free. The boat don't really came from Spain

I'm kinda sure, not overly so, that he's from the eastern Netherlands (from how he pronounced "rookworst") and eating raw herring although not unkown is definitly not as much of a tradition here as in most the rest of the Netherlands. Especially among our generation (as in mine and the guy in the vid) and younger, it is pretty rare to go to a fish truck to buy some raw herring and eat it. Kibbeling would be the go to. On the Enschedese Markt I see elderly, boomers and gen X eating herring, but I think it's primarily sold to German tourists lol

Hey! Thank you so much for your generosity!! Unfortunately, (but very excited), we are going the 14th of June to the concert! Dayton leaves the Netherlands the 18th…lots of content coming up tho!

@@Thetravelingmindshow kanker chill. Hope you guys have fun! If you guys need a local Guide from Eindhoven let me know!"💪💪

Clear advice! Thank you for that!! Gonna try it soon :)

Its quite funny Americans sell kale at ridiculous prices and claim it as a superfood when here its just a traditional vegetable that everyone eats in the winter.

Nonsense, I used the K word 40 years ago and before I used it I heard it too. So maybe 50 years of using the word kkr?? I don't want to say it consciously anymore. The young people in The Hague now use it for everything (if they can speak Dutch), not just for swearing. Kkr wat een vette auto. Het is een kkr mooi feest Heb geen kkr te doen enz enz

enorme onzin, ik ben oud genoeg om te kunnen zeggen dat je keihard uit je nek lult. mensen schelden al heel lang met kanker. mn opa is van de trap gekankerd en toen was hij dood. rip.

Ik zat 30 jaar geleden op de basisschool en hoorde dat toen op school al om me heen hoor. Bijna geheel blanke school, ik neem aan dat dat is waar je op doelde? Zo niet wat bedoel je dan? Qua schelden met ziektes: pleurisgezeik (komt van pleurites), tyfuszooi, tyf op, klerelijer (kolerelijder), teringwijf, schrik me t leplazerus!, is toch juist typisch Nederlands.. Als je van vroeger opnames ziet dat mensen plat Amsterdams praten komt dit standaard in voor. Er is ook onderzoek naar gedaan. Amsterdamse notariële akten van 16e-18e eeuw kwam het wel voor maar niet zoveel. En in de 19e eeuw werd het schelden met ziektes populair, af te leiden aan die akten, omdat men vroeger dat aangaf als men beledigd was en dat liet optekenen bij een notaris die geschillen bijlegde.

@@MokumHVB alles wat je zegt maar 'kanker' of 'je kankermoeder' zat toen niet, of minder, in het repertoire.

Yes it did... I used it, we used it as children. Often. Just like pleuris, tyfus, kolere.... More than 30 years ago I was doing my military service. That's where I really learned to swear. Every third word was actually „kanker" 🫡

homie people from the netherlands are literally called dutch
