Habits I've learnt from the Dutch 🤭 

I remember the story from a Dutch lady originally from Suriname, going on holiday to Suriname, taking the buss, and getting angry at the buss stop, the buss was 5 minutes late....lol At that moment she realised she had become really really Dutch.

I like learning about The Netherlands even though I live in Peru and I have no plans to go there in the nearly future, but it seems like a country where people are generally happy and I believe some of these habits would contribute to be happy even in our very diffferent culture. Speaking our minds, trying to save money, punctuality, being less stressed about being the center of atenttion otherwise you are a loser, men and women doing the same activities without gender predjuice... Some of the great Dutch habits that I appreciate.

Welcome new Dutchy (and Delft resident as I saw you cycling through the university district "-)) you are an enrichment for our sometimes a bit gray society. keep on cycling

You radiate freshness Josephine! I am sure it is because you cycle so much ! 🙂

I really want live in the Netherlands and your videos make me feel like i already live there!!!❤

You're really becoming Dutch!

I really enjoyed your video. Thanks ps. Your husband is a lucky man with such a beautiful woman.

That of directness, I can attest to that🤣🤣 That's a good vlog🙌 Keep it coming😍

Without becoming direct! Love your vlog! 😊👍

Punctuality in the Netherlands is still not what it is in Germany. We always have the excuse "de brug stond open", at least in Holland (the west of the Netherlands). Always comes in handy, bridge or not.

Hey Josphine, Nice to hear we could inspire you to adapt some habits 🙂 About being fashionable.. I do think this is person dependant what you will call fashionable..? Is it about wearing make-up and female sexy dresses or is it about wearing big brands? Or do you define things differently? If you listen to American expats (ask Fie..) Dutchies are usually described to dress smart (as gym and sports clothes are common in the USA) where Russian women just wear high heels daily and consider big lips and big silicone boobies the highest achievable fashion goal. (I travelled a lot to Russia for business in the past..) So maybe it is not about Dutchies being less fashionable but just having different opinions on what they consider fashionable !?

The avondshow is amazing! Did you know Its on tv Monday - Thursday 22:10, on the channel NPO 1.

I don't know if doing things yourself is Dutch. I saw plenty of DIY shops in other European countries. Maybe it's a European habit. Because taxes are high and wages are high, it is too expensive to call a handyman for small problems.

Je kunt ook een spoed cursus bij je man nemen, die spreekt uitstekend Nederlands 😁

Hahaha directness. Well honestly I can be very blunt, but it always helps me getting to the point and setting my boundaries. But when I I am around people from other countries, I try to be well be more subtle. Cycling is just a good thing. Since I have a care I became very lazy.

I really don't find them to be direct at all. Maybe because I am Jamaican 🇯🇲.

Dutchies don't want to waste time or money. They want to be efficient. They want be independent and focus what is really important in life.

Lovely video

I don't know about other dutch man, but when I look at a woman I don't mind them looking good, but in the end I need to know that I can take her walking, hiking and cycling. If she looks like she couldn't or wouldn't, I don't bother.

Like your fresh view of things your smile gets everytime bigger super mega watti leuke video's en meid Nederlands leren zelfde als wij Engels leren Nederlandse tv met engels ondertitelt nog 1 jaar en jason bestelt voor je

Babe you are looking more beautiful ❤❤❤

i love cycling

You will only realize to the full extent how Dutchified you are until you visit your country of origin. In Surinam they would call you a bounty.😂 Just like my wife. And it can’t be undone…..

I think it is😂because German s are also like that😂

Lekker op de fiets met de wind door je haren, inderdaad...

since you're learning Dutch. its : my husband and me (not i and my husband) mijn man en ik

I think being self reliant without a handyman is not typically Dutch. I have seen that all over Europe. As for the rest, yes, you are slowly being cheesified.

Seems you have given birth my dear Josephine.

When the Dutch do behave, humbleness in fashion is the fashion originally. Telling lies was a big NoNo, so honesty is the cause of the directness. In the last 50 years we are drifting away from our Christian roots, so we get less direct, more into fake, bling, and fashion, and lies. Sadly :(

It’s adutch habbit
