Peanutbutter on oliebollen? Me as a Dutch person, my body screams NOOOO. But somehow I also want to try it. 😂

This comment section is soo positive it makes me wanna cry! Thank you so much for being friendly and good people! The negativity almost makes you feel like the whole world is a bad place with a lot of bad people, when actually it's the complete opposite:)

Hello, I have lived in the Netherlands (Utrecht and Amersfoort). Now I live in Spain but I try to go there every year. I love the Netherlands, it is my second home!!! Thank you for your videos, I am so happy to watch them!!!!

This video was pretty inspiring, thank you for keeping it real and sharing this vibes with us! 🙏

Cant wait to come and ride bikes. Thanks for information

This video just makes me even more motivated to move to the Netherlands. I used to travel there almost every year (sometimes more than once) and I absolutely LOVEEE it. I can definitely see myself settling down in this country. Hopefully, by this summer, I can get my visa to finally live like a local! Love your videos by the way!

I appreciate the content and the quality of your video. The B-roll is very nicely shot and pleasant to look at. Good work!

I want to move to the Netherlands after the pandemic to study my PHD and I'm so happy that I found your channel and LOVED the videos😍👌keep up the good work💪🙌

The city looks beautiful. Keep posting more.

This slice-of-life stuff is not just fun, but hugely informative. Thanks for sharing these frank glimpses into your lives!

Hello! I loved the video. The Netherlands is really amazing! I am gonna do my Erasmus there next month

Hey! Just found your channel. This video is super helpful and gives us a great insight on life there! We are moving to the Netherlands this year and I'll be watching all your videos to get some pointers on the move. Great channel and content! Loving it so far!

Hello from Seattle, I just found your channel and I like it very much. I like your enthusiasm with the olliebollen !

I love your youtube channel! It is very inspiring and makes me want to grab my camera and start filming! keep going!

Lovely insight and lovely editing 👌

Awesome video, I am planning to study there. Sooo, thanks .

Hey! I really enjoy your content. I am coming to the Netherlands for my further studies in August this year and your videos are making me more and more excited about it.

Good to see how you are adapting in Netherlands 😇😇keep posting we are waiting for more videos👌👌

How well you shot it cinematic 🙏🙏, i am impressed.. I too want to visit Netherlands

Hi Adi, love your videos. (and let me say, I envy your phisic :D) Awesome you are liking it till now. I moved here and am enjoying it quite a lot. Actually, i don't live far from you guys, almost down the street. The quality of your videos is awesome, and this last ones about the Netherlands (and specially the Hague) makes view thing in another perceptive, which is awesome. I will continue to watch your videos for sure. keep going and good luck for the future. Regards for you and Myra

I've also moved to the NL about 4 months ago, in Bergen op Zoom. The Hague is beautiful, and I really enjoyed your video. I also miss all the opportunities to go out, travel, but as you've said, all we have to do is wait it out. Good luck and can't wait for the next video! Also, my favourites are the Bossebollen 😉 try those as well!

I just want to know about countries .This is the best video I have seen about Netherlands .Thank you so much.Wish you good luck!

I was born there lived there till I immigrated to US at age 23. It’s nice to see you’re adjusting. I grew up in Nieuwerkerk a/d Ijssel between Rotterdam and Gouda. So much has changed in 30+ years tho!

Love the video! Super helpful. I plan on moving to the Netherlands next year, perhaps a video in the future on Cost of living and budgeting would be super helpful!

I have lived in the USA for a couple of years. My American Friends loved the cookies: Speculaas and Jan Hagel. There are a lot of different kinds of speculaas. Thin ones that can also be interesting on a slice of bread, with or without shaved almonds. But there are also very thick ones with whole almonds on them.

man! your footage really wondeful, really enjoy ur video and give me an insight about how to live in nl, i move there next year with whole family

Your vlogs are so cozy. I also want to move to The Nederlands..

Hi Adi and Myra, I love the pictural quality of your videos! You have to be a professional cinematograph ! Nice to see you (Adi) enjoy the Netherlands even if you do sometimes things in a different way ;-) No-I did not say "wrong".. Please could you also show the "other" parts of The Netherlands? The main cities are usual overrepresented in RU-vid videos but there is (even though being a over-populated country) so many beautiful and peaceful spots left! Just go to Nieuwkoop and its wetlands and lake region. You can bike around beautiful places ! And pretty soon the flower-fields near Lisse and Hillegom!

Thank you for this video a lot of knowledge I am American but want to explore The Netherlands looks beautiful

Yooo wth peanut butter op oliebollen?! I NEED to try that out, sounds delicious! Glad you're enjoying the netherlands!

Fantastic video and comment! Tip! When the oliebollen are cold they are a bit "rubbery" 😂. Put each one 25 seconds in the Microwave and they are like reborn! Congrats with your Dutch girlfrend! Blond, long typical Dutch. Have fun and enjoy LIFE !

I love these videos. We are neighbors so I relate quite a lot.

Loved to see your video, good quality . I was born and raised in Amsterdam, now living in U S state of Florida Part of me misses my country and have not been able to go back for a visit ( all my family and friends are there) because I do animal rescue and have no help to take care of them. Therefore thank you for this video it's nice to see my country.

Enjoy my home country, Adi! You just made me homesick ;-) Living in a different place myself I know it is hard to get to know a place. I am sure you will make it a success! Warm regards from Brooklyn, New York, USA

Thank you for this video! The NL is one of the places I want to visit. I live in Brooklyn, NY and I use my bike for pretty much everything! It looks so beautiful and the oliebollen, looks delicious!

I live in Melbourne, Australia - have been thinking about moving to the Netherlands to do my Masters (Irish citizen also). Love the B-roll footage of Melbourne!

Netherland very beautiful,and good people!Thank you!🙂💗🙏

Try some Speculoos spread on those little yum yums!! Great video! Thanks to my dear friends, Michael Carmine and Lisa Assante for recommending this awesome video!!

Thank you for being so transparent. I am hoping to move this year to the NL, but I am scared of the job situation, because of Covid. I've started to apply for jobs now, even though I want to move in the Spring/Summer. I was actually supposed to move last Spring but the pandemic messed up my plans. Now I just feel frustrated for still being in the UK.

Subs count doesn't matter I am watching you guys You will shine one day , the day is near ❤️🔥🔥

Love ur video! Planning to move there but I know nothing about this wonderful country!😊

Some supermarkets, especially in rural areas, are great with that bonus card, the staff keep one at each checkout, and if you don't have one, or forgot yours, they will just scan their own. So you always get those discounts here :D

ive lived here my whole life idk why im watching this but i guess it motivates me to stay ;)

very nice video, greetings from a dutchie

Hello, welcome to the Netherlands!

I like peanut butter on croissants, so yeah, not surprised it also tastes great on oliebollen. Personally I prefer the oliebollen without raisins, and put some home made 'room' (A very thick type of custard) on it. yum!

Nice im coming to live in the Netherlands next year it will be our forever home with my family looking forward to our big move eventually.

lovely video :)

Still figuring out to get those bonus cards .. Lol.. loved your video

i've been to NL from '15-'16 and i would love to go back there in the future

We (I and my wife) are planning to move to Hague by next month. See you around

Tip!! If you forgot your bonus card at the Albert Heijn, ask the cashiers if you can use theirs! They are more than happy to scan it for you

Peanut butter, lovely. Oliebollen, also lovely. The combination is a big no for Dutch people but if you like it, just do it your way. You have to learn Dutch to really integrate and learn to know the country. Try the Appie app in AH. You can use it to scan your shopping. If you fill in the Bonuskaartnummer in the app, if will automatically give you the bonus. Suger usage depends on the individual. I don’t use sugar at all.

You create fantastic content! Enjoyed so much!!!!!👍

Once you have decided to live in another country, especially in a country on the other side of the world, you will go through all the steps of grieving: you say goodbye to family, friends and everything you are emotionally attached to in your original country. And don't underestimate it; this farewell can be compared with saying goodbye to someone who has fallen away from you. In addition, the home country and the conditions in the home country as you left it will not be the home country and the conditions in which you will find the it after years abroad for 2 reasons: 1. Your home country and the people who live there (family and friends) is/are subject to constant changes and evolution's, however small as they can be which you hardly notice when you live there, but all together most likely will provide you a completely different experience of your home country and that this is the reason that after years of absence your home country does no longer feel like your home country and your friends and even family the way you left it/them. 2. Like it or not, you'll still get used (socially, politically, climate-technically and more) to the host country where you stay for a number of years and this habituation changes your perspective with regard to many things to your homeland. Being critical in your home country with regard to matters that you previously never would have discussed in your home country will therefore occur more often than you would like. And you simply cannot have both; you will have to make choices. Structural choices that give you a future in your country of choice. By choosing a certain country, you distance yourself and say goodbye to the other country, including the people who live there, and you welcome the new country, the new language and the new culture and the new norms and values ​​and the people who live there just like yourself. Even if you would fully accept the host country or new country and you would fully integrate into this new country with the new language and the new culture and the new norms and values, you still will go through the complete grieving process of parting with regard to the old country. It is absolutely not possible to keep everything you had in the old country without hindering your integration in the new country. This really is a Black or White situation, you've gotta choose...so it's all about choices unfortunately. You simply can't have both. The grieving process is inevitable, but don't go into the grieving process without giving yourself a real chance of success in the host country or perhaps during permanent immigration; the new country. These are unfortunately the facts as they are. I wish you wisdom at your choices.

Wooo At the 1:14 mins of the video, that's Hawthorn in Melbourne!! The neighborhood where I used to hang when I went to Swinburne Uni. OMG, I miss Hawthorn, haven't been back to Australia for a year now. Also, planing of moving to the Netherlands in Aug with my partner. How is the weather in the Netherlands compare to Melbourne?

Great videos and more over I love your story, similar to my own and how I met my wife. We too are considering relocating to the Netherlands from Los Angeles -but we will see how COVID will impact that in the coming year. As an architect, we will also have see what the professional transition to working there will be like. We have been to the Netherlands many times, and we feel more at home there than the many other places in the world we have traveled and lived. Great work! Keep it up!

Beautiful dop👌👌

I would move in a heartbeat

peanut butter on an oliebol got to give that a try

You should do a special about drop: try different kinds, hard, soft, sweet, salty, from different brands. At least include katjes drop (venco), honingdrop (venco) and muntendrop (klene) if you can, find a speciality shop, and ask for original 'trekdrop' Some drop you will most likely not like: dubbelzoute drop, its verrrrrrry salty, and an acquired taste.

Me and my husband plan to go there in Netherlands. Can you make also content or tips on how to moved in Netherlands. Greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Toasted 'krentenbrood' with butter and peanut butter is excellent!

nice content :)

We are moving to The Hague in the next following months.. And whatching your videos are really helpful ❤

Peanut butter on your oliebollen? Alright, never saw anyone do that before hahahahah .. Enjoy, great vid....Grtzzzz Utrecht

I never tried oliebollen....I should remember that next time in the Netherlands -- someday after Covid19....*sigh* Den Haag is beautiful....I have been there only on a daytrip. My husband had given me the "breakfast at the seaside" - treat for one of my birthdays and we went to Scheveningen. We later decided to visit Den Haag - and I really lost my heart there. Such a beautiful place....I remember we saw the parliament and did not know what kind of building it was. So I declared proudly (showing off): "They have a king, must be his castle" :-D....okay....or the Parliament ;-) .

I think I recognize the street you live in. I’m not going to name it, but it’s in Voorburg. I know because my friend lives in the same street 😊 Anyway, I just wanted to say I always enjoy your video’s a lot. Keep up the good work 😁👍🏻

I am planning to work jn Netherlands, if not this year maybe next year!! Excited to move there! Currently I am ofw here in South Korea for 7years and counting.

After watching this video it reminds my initial days in Netherlands. I also did so many stupid things ;) it was hard to understand the few things like you mentioned bonus card ;)

I'm from the Netherlands now living in sunny LA . I miss the food and the culture but not the weather.

Hi! Beautifully done video. I would love to move to the Netherlands and am currently looking for roles within my company to make the move. Something that started worrying me.. how are Dutch people towards people of color/Asians?

I wish i could live there. 💕

New subscriber.

Cold? Put something on your head especially when on your bike 🍀

i hope one day i visit netherlands and live there its my dream contry

May I ask which camera you use to make your videos

Nice

Nice video and nice edited!!

Hello Brother! Loved this video & I understand you have moved from India. If yes, how much of a change was it, going from India. And where in India are you put up. Netherlands is just a beautiful place. Hoping to visit in the near future =)

Where did you live there? What neighbourhood? It looks nice, and we're planning on moving back to the Netherlands soon. Thx!

How did I ended up here, lol? I am living all my life in the Netherlands, but If I can I would be so happy to live in Spain. That would feel like home and it would be so much better to live in!

Could you please make a video about how your did it with your visas?m

Just wanna know where were you born and lived in during your childhood.

Bro I live in Canadian High Arctic.The tempreture goes up till -50C and 4 months 24 hours light and 4 months 24hours darkness.

I am planning to move in NL soon from Australia but scared too. I am a RN here with 2 years experience. I don’t know the job market there. I don’t speak Dutch either.

I have been dreaming about moving to the Netherlands for some years now, but I have yet to visit (does that sound crazy?). I've lived abroad in other countries (mostly Asia), but I've always dreamed of permanently relocating to Europe. Hoping to visit NL next year and get a feel for it. I loved your video though! I always appreciate an even, honest opinion about personal experience living in different countries. Subscribed!

netherlands #1 !

But kids just don't seem to feel the cold... It's the most amazing thing. I had so many layers last week otherwise I would not have survived

Hello, I am a student from India planning to pursue further studies in the Netherlands. How hard is it for an Indian to assimilate into the dutch culture? Is there a huge culture gap? I am scared to be on my own but I am in love with The Netherlands and its culture and I do hope to be studying there by next fall.

Hello friends 😎😎

I'm immigrating to nl in june I'm south african I hope it wont be too difficult!

Grate video..... We are Sri Lankan, We like to move Nedarlands. Could you please explain what are the legal requirements for move Nedarlands

Hey there, I was wondering if you can give me a bit of guidance as to how to apply for a bonus card. I am a few months away from moving to the Hague and I would like a little bit of clarity so life could be a little bit easier :)), thanks!

Is civic intergration exam compulsory to get visa for netherlands?

6-7 degrees Celsius is freezing cold? You won't last in Canada then! We are expecting 11 degrees tomorrow (March 30th) and that's like Spring to us!

My partner and I are moving to Den Haag from Canada this July for grad school! Can't wait to explore the city (with COVID safety in place of course haha.) Did you have to quarantine when you moved there in Janurary? How did you do groceries/find food every day? I'm assuming you could just order Skip the Dishes etc.?

Hey is there any language barrier over there ?? Or people are comfortable with english . Secondly is it good idea to go there for studies ??

What about the frikandellen? (Dutch snack)
