What Happens When a 193cm Asian Goes To The Netherlands? REACTION! 

hello. Thank you for watching my video haha

Dutch grew vertically while Americans grew horizontally.

He must have felt like the mothership just beemed him up. My people! 😂

As a Dutch man who is 5'7 (171 cm) this is making me want to visit his country so I don't have to look up constantly.

I'm Dutch and am "only" 1,76m and always love the reaction of foreigners when I tell them that my height is below average in the Netherlands 😂

I am small for a Dutch woman, only 163 cm. When I went to study in Canada it was weird that I was a more average height, instead of being the small one. There were smaller people than me, also bigger, but it was weird to be average.

I discovered this video yesterday and I’m glad you are reacting to it. I’m a Dutch woman of 185 cm tall (6.1 ft) .My “little” brother is 215 cm tall (7 ft)😂

He experienced such culture shock his personality did a 180. From getting annoyed by strangers asking his height to asking strangers about their height 🤣 Good for him tho man. If it's up to me he's welcome to stay here. I'm just 6' (184cm) and even I know the struggles of countries not being designed for your height from vacation. Constantly banging your head into stuff and not fitting in beds are so annoying.

Haha, I can just smell his confusion. Myself being close to 195cm I am just a little taller as he is. Went to Japan years ago together with my equally tall brother. While there one day we stumbled across a last minute ticket sale for a stadium concert called "A-Nation" that would be the next day in Osaka. As it was cheap we looked at each other and thought "why not". We didn't know any of the artist (there were a bunch) but we were already there and figured it would be the only time we'd experience something like that so we bought the tickets and we went. We ended up somewhere on the field about a third of the length away from the podium so normally you'd have trouble finding back the spot after getting a drink or going to the toilet or something. Not us.. It was like a sea of small people with 1 towering above them in the distance. Looking over the crowd was like.. _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ where _ would be a random head and * would be my bro sticking out like a sore thumb.. To funny. On average I'd say 1.93 or in my case 1.95 is above average so people here also consider me to be on the tall side but I'd say everything above 1.90 and below 2m isn't to uncommon. People might say you're tall sometimes but not like "WOW you'r so tall". That starts at 200cm+ I guess. You can see it clearly in his last shot while he's walking across the square. He's on the tall side compared to others walking there but not crazy tall or something and there are more that height walking around.

I work in prefab concrete myself. But in the Netherlands. The dimensions of a normal doorway are 211.5 cm. And in public and group buildings. Such as hospitals and nursing homes 231.5 cm high. The 1.5 cm is the edge where the door falls into. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands.

In the Netherlands I am of average height,186, I used to play volleyball and I was always the short guy. But when I travel abroad all of a sudden I feel big.

And then imagine beds where you can stretch your legs!😂

My 19 year old nephew is 2.00 meters. My mom, his grandmother, is maybe 1.55. He can pretty much rest his arms on her head. He loves to call her Kabouter (Gnome) 😂😂😂

haha i love this for him. As a dutchie who is on the shorter side i have problems with chairs or toilets being to high that my feet can't touch the floor anymore hahaha

I think he’s gonna shop in the Netherlands for clothings 👍 .. lovely video😃

I never really gave much thought to this. I'm really only the Dutch average of 175 as a female, but I might actually have some trouble with my height if I were to ever go to Korea (although my weight would probably be the bigger issue). Interesting to see an outsider's perspective on things that are completely normal to me. Makes me realize that our standard isn't the standard everywhere. Intriguing.

Yeah dude we are BIG. 😂😂😂😂.

I loved his video when I saw it. I am so glad you reacted to it. I am only 1,62 so I am quite short for a Dutchie. But my attitude is larger than life 😅🤣🤣

Yeeah, he fits in perfectly☺️

I’m a Dutch woman at 1,65 and am a midget compared to people around me! I used to live in Kenya where I was above average in height, bij on moving home I found out that I was quite short! . My late husband was 1,90 and most things in our house were designed for his height. It’s a fact I have a little plastic step next to my toilet because it just too high for me.

My friend's cousin is 2.14 meters (7 feet). The first time i saw him, he was getting out of the car. You know those scenes where a guy gets up and the other guy has to tilt his head to follow him up? That was me. It seemed to me like he never stopped standing up. We were going to a car show that day. We were barely in, when a girl went standing behind his back, to measure herself to him. She barely reached his shoulder blades. We were dying laughing and he didn't know why 🤣

It is indeed amazing how tall we have got in the Netherlands.I am 75 ,and in my youth they call me the tall one..And i am 1,80 meter!

This makes me laugh so much. I have two adopted daughters from China. Our oldest is only 160 cm. And she always says, with a wink: That's my fate. Adopted as a little Chinese in the land of the giants :-) She doesn't suffer from it, by the way. I'm not very tall for a Dutch person. But older Dutch people are about my height (184 cm). Many young people are much taller. When I first came to China in the late 1990s and walked down the street, people wanted to take pictures with me. In some villages they had never seen a white man and having such a giant in a photo was great for them.

At least he doesn't have to bend over going through a door. Especially in newer buildings doors are 220cm high.

Well, for a Dutchie I'm pretty short. I'm 5.5. My daughters are even shorter. I think because I don't drink milk haha. So, there are a few short people in the Netherlands left. No worries. Never had any problems with toilets.

It's like heaven for him

I am 183 cm. Some of my family members are much taller then i am. I love that guys reaction when he was in our country and it gifs also a lot of joy to know that we can help People also with the things they want at there hight. But even here in the netherlands for some People it is difficult to get close at a normal cloding store because they are to tall here in the netherlands. They need to go to other stores.

You should look up the picture of Oliver Richter (The Dutch Giant 2,18 or 7'2) in Korea he was in a Korean McDonalds (or something like it) The counter is so low he could have stept over it if he wanted. Olivier was seen in the Indiana Johnes dial of destiny movie he is the tall guy.

I’m a neighbor of the Netherlands (Belgian) and I’m 182cm (5ft 11,5in). Although our average height is a lot more than the Korean average, we are not quite as tall as the Dutch, so I love going to the Netherlands. Luckily I live about 15 minutes from the border 😊

for me it was the other way around, im 1.89mtrs tall and im from the netherlands, and i lived in asia for a couple years and it was funny to see so many people shorter than me, started feeling like a giant at times ;)

I saw this video happy dutch person here🙂🇳🇱

Yeah I'm asian height because of my mom, she had the counters made lower for her use. I'm a little taller than she was at 159, almost 5'3" but in the last place I lived I had to stand on my toes to look in the bathroom mirror and to take the shower down from the wall. I'm chestheight with most people. I can't reach thetop shelf in the store but they usually have some 2 meter tall teenage boy very willing to help out if I can't climb and tweedle something down. (if it's a rack you can sometimes get it from underneath to the front)

A lot of men in the Netherlands are 193 cm or taller, only for an Asian man it is rare. I am 178 cm tall and I am a woman. I glad that my son is not that tall, he is only 183 cm. My brother is as tall as the Asian man, he is 195 cm. Being taller than 200 cm is not so nice, but as long as it is below 200 cm it is fine.

Are you allready thinking of coming to visit the Netherlands? Spring farm duties are around the corner! Also i'm 186 cm, nice and average.

Small Dutch guy here; 192m 117kg.

That's my height also 193cm and it's nothing special in the Netherlands 😜

I’m 170cm Dutch female so average I suppose.. but I was in Korea 2 weeks ago and the sinks are so low I had to bend a lot. Beds were short too. I was glad to be back home 😅

It is so funny seeing this. I lived in the uk for a while and let me tell you. As a 180 cm or 5.11 tall woman, yoi stand out... not to mention the amount of times i hit my head in the old pubs with very low ceilings😂

I live in a rented house and six months ago they renovated my kitchen and bathroom. and because we are getting taller, the standard dimensions have changed. the countertop is now 10cm higher and I can only see my forehead in the bathroom mirror. I am only 1.57 m tall

The average heigt is 6.2 for the total mail population includes maroccan and turkey origine. The next generation is going to be taller. 18-20 year olds are now 6:5 ft

mijn engels is niet zo goed maar ik ging stuk als nederlander hahahahaha geweldig dit.

I was a bit surprised to see him board an airline most non-short Dutchies avoid because of the lack of legroom.

I'm a 161 cm (5ft3ish?) woman from the Netherlands.. I see my hair in mirrors..that's it.. lol. I moved to Vietnam and now I'm the tallest in the elevator. I went to a concert AND WAS ABLE TO SEE THE STAGE!!!

Yeah small country big people😂😂👍👍

I'm 2.03cm myself my mom is 1.80cm and my dad is 1.96cm so it's still common for children to be even taller than the parents

In 1995 I played a basketballtournament with a team of the dutch tall people club. With my 2.06m I was but 1 player the shortest. The tallest was 2.21m

He's so happy to be normal height. It is great to have that many tall guys here. When I can't reach something up high at the supermarket for instance, there's always a tall guy around I can ask. lol.

I (Dutchie) grew up as a girl with three older brothers. Two were 2m, one was around 1,90m. We always called him the shortie. My brothers always put stuff on "eye level". So, on top of the upper kitchen cabinets and places like that 😄 Pretty annoying for me and my mother, who are both around 1,72m, so pretty normal. My two tallest brothers are pretty tall for Dutch standards though. They do stand out in a crowd a bit (which is pretty convenient) but maybe not as much as this Korean guy does in his own country. I think Dutch men on average are about 1,80, and women around 1,70? Maybe a bit shorter in parts of the country with more people from immigration backgrounds.

He would feel at home :P Blessing from the Netherlands

As a Dutch woman who is 169 i am considered the smallest person in my family 😂

I find always a bit odd when we go to a foreign country and my head sticks out. I mean I can look over a crowd, but not at that level.😂

This was funny to see as a dutch woman. But to see the Korean woman reach up in the train, I wondered why she didnt use the yellow railing underneath the window..we do keep in mind all heights in public transport.

For a native dutch guy age 33, I feel like I'm a bit on the short side with 1.84m/6ft. I once had a classmate who was put on growth hormones, because she was so extremely short. She was 1.65m/5'4ft

We are evolving from living below sea-level, so if the dijk breaks and everything floods, we can just stand straight up with our head above water level 👌 Haha, I'm just joking! The real reason is because parents use those medieval stretch beds on kids. With the ropes on every limb that pull and stretches them 😄

Where a small country can be big😄

My son (15) is as tall as his dad,6 ft. Here in my home town are students from Asia. One of them told me once that they go to the children's department to buy clothes.

I hope for him that at least he has a bed and bedding big enough for him in his hometown

When I joined the military, I suddenly was on the short end of the row. What the 🤣 I am 1.82 Still, wearing my heels makes me able to look over crowds. Came in handy when I got kids. Coloured my hair ridiculous for every gig with the band, so my children were always able to find me in crowds 👍

A giant in Koreo. Just a regular bloke in the Netherlands 😁

I’m a short Dutchy with 173cm but my wife is from Indonesia and she is 153cm. She faces the problems of this Korean guy in Korea in reverse in the Netherlands.

I can imagine how it would feel. I'm 1.82 and once I went to a classmates home to work on a project and her family was very short for dutch standards and I felt like a hugh giant, because the pictures and mirrors etc. where way below my eye level. 😂 it was surreal.

Spoiler, he had a comfortable vacation, three suitcases full for his wardrobe and zero bumps and bruises

So funny! Dutch woman here. 1.82 tall. My two sons and my husband are around 1.95 and in my familly only my mother was short (1,74). Never considered myself tall, just normal height, untill....I went on a holliday to the south of Spain. I wasn't prepared for the height difference and it never came to mind that it would be an issue and that people are much shorter there. I was unpleasenly suprised that the beds were to short and was also shocked by the hight of kichen counter tops, hight of the toilets and batroom mirrors...thing I'dd never have thought about. It was like going to a childrens toilet at a kindergarden. But it helped me understand the issues that tall and short people have.

That guy must feel a bit like Gulliver, but at home instead of on a strange island inhabited by little people..

It's a lot of tall men and boys like him in my country, Norway

My brother was 193 cm when he was 10 years old😂 the teachers were scared of him, he also was really strong at the age of 10. He could pick up the teachers...

Hiddink in korea is a nice documentary.

Dude I’m Dutch and I’m only 1,75 and I feel so small, but visiting America it was weird being taller than the average teenager 😂

I'm exactly the national average length, 183cm or 6' exactly, but where I live in the south of the Netherlands people tend to be a bit shorter than the national average, so I'm not short by any means in my neighbourhood. When I go to the western provinces (Holland) however I'm short by comparison.

I'm the smallest of my family at 174 cm. My entire family is taller and the tallest is 218 cm. The one after that is 211 cm. I don't even know why I'm the smaller one, where it came from lol. I feel short a lot of times, which is funny because I'm not even that short. I have a friend that is 154 cm. Now that is small... She's mistaken for a child a lot of times even though she's halfway in her 30's.

the biggest small country ;D

9:05 I'm a dutch woman, 185 cm tall. Living in the Netherlands. Fashion still hasn't adapted to tall dutchies here. Womens clothes and specially trousers are always too short...

As a 1.5m Dutch person, all the reasons he feels comfortable in the Netherlands, is why I often struggle to feel comfortable. When I visited a friend in Denmark, he told us his daughter was very tall for her age, and we thought she looked average, while I mentioned how my kids are tiny for their age, and he thought they looked average. It's all about perspective. And from a Dutch perspective, I'm tiny.

if he would only walk around in korea i would think he is 6'5😂

I didn't know you had a cat, show that black baby some more pls

My dad is 198cm. When he went to Japan, people kept asking him for pictures lmao. He was so tall over there, bumped his head all the time and needed to lean over a lot. Fun to now see it the other way around, but with a Korean person instead of a Japanese person.

I am also 1.80m and female. When i went to China i took a lot of pictures with locale people because they wanted a picture with me; a white tall woman😅

I❤ your videos about the Netherlands. I saw a video were you telling us that you probably will visit the Netherlands. If you go, I offer you a stay in our hometown near Rotterdam. I will guide you in The most Modern and impressive city of the Netherlands... Rotterdam. So remember this when your booked your trip to Europe! Kind regards, Bert

The best is when i'm in foreigh country's I can easily order my drinks in a bar without the need to craw to the front of the bar

As a medium sized guy born and raised in the netherlands.. that also happens to have very broad shoulders.. The average Dutch build being very tall and somewhat lanky means that no shirt has ever properly fit me in the Netherlands. My shoulders and neck are too big for smaller sizes. My lenght is too small for larger sizes.

I just watched his video last night. I'm korean and korean men are tallest in Asia. That guy is tall, handsome and single ❤ plus young.

haha..funny. Mega shock indeed and also nice for him I think. I am 1,80 and my husband 2 meters

4:12 is he saying "good?" Cuz it sounds like a dutch swear word "kut" 🤣

only thing that comes to mind....Gullivers travels.

Crazy thing is that the younger generation is even getting taller. My mum was very tall at 1.60 when she was young. She was the tallest in her class. I'm 1.70 and even a little short compaired to most women of my age. My son just turned 15 and is already at the same height as his father who is 1.81 and he is still growing in topspeed. Even has stretchmarks on his back because his skin can not keep up with his growth in height, and still he is for shure not even close to the tallest one in his class. With this speed in 20 years average height for men is 2.00 + 😂

Love it being only 14 and being 1 metres and 84 centimetres and still growing The doctors said i will be around 1 metre 97 tall when i stop growing

I am from the Netherlands but only 1.65, I know somebody who is 2.28, trust me that is even for Dutch standards TALL

The Dutch entry for Eurovision 2024 has been released today, hope you are gonna react to that. I am curious what you think of it cause it's my country and you already do a lot of Dutch songs/things. Its from Joost Klein and it's called Europapa. I am 6.5 btw.

I’m 180 as a girl in the Netherlands and though that is quite tall for a girl, its definitely not crazy tall, its pretty normal

My dad now starts to shrink but used to be 186. Me and my big sis are 183(6ft), mom used to be 176 and the sis in the middle is the shorts one: 174. We always joked that she was sooo short :'P. But in so many countries we look like a very of giants lol

korean girls just shop in the kids section

Im a dutchy and im a tiny one witrh 1.55cm. But the sinks are not that high since i can use them like normall too!

I'm dutch and I'm 6ft9. (2m05) so i wouldnt really notice him as he is pretty normal height for the Netherlands.

Everything big in a small country

GVB ordered those metros with taller doors then the normal model. I am 1,70m and I can't comfortably hold the top bar.

1,7m tall Dutch guy reporting for duty!

Had a 15 year old in my class who was 2,15cm and yeah I,m Dutch also girl from 1,90 at age 12.

As a woman of 170cm i was always on the taller side back home in eastern europe, but since i moved to the Netherlands i never felt more petite in my life. When i was first told that i’m “so short and cute” i genuinely thought it was a joke but nope… imagine my stress when i first landed myself in a Dutch club, and i had to elbow myself through the crowd of people and hitting their sides and hips. Weirdest feeling ever.

i am 187cm in the netherlands and i feel small most of the time, a lot of people are taller than me. now if i go to latin countries... i feel like a giant.

We have solutions for almost everything and everyone! 😉😂😂😂
