should be really interesting uh as we're you know getting right really deep into the uh series that
we're having here at foreign reactors where we're doing a bunch of videos related to the netherlands
uh throughout the period of april once april ends uh then we will no longer be doing a lot of video
for the netherlands yes we will continue to do videos for the netherlands but throughout the
period of april we're doing as much as possible meaning every day we probably will release a video
for the netherlands right so we're gonna get right into this video so um if you are not subscribed
subscribe i'd really appreciate it guys and uh if you have any suggestions leave those in the
comment section down below if you agree with things she said you let me know in the comment
section down below as well but either ways guys let's get right into it hi everyone welcome back
to my channel i hope you're all doing well today i have quite an exciting video as you may or may not
know i am dutch i've been born and raised in the netherlands and i'm only now studying in the uk
and i thought today i would tell you a few things that only dutch people will understand if you're
dutch or if you've ever been to the netherlands or if you want to go please leave me a comment
down below because i would definitely want to know where you've been or what you've seen in the lens
and what your favorite thing about the lenons is but without further ado let's go into this video
so this is probably quite well known but we do something that's called three kisses we always
kiss three times whenever we meet someone or if we congratulate them or if we say goodbye or whatever
we always give three kisses on the cheek and it's usually right left right if you ever get confused
it's always a bit of like a dance you do like i don't know which time we're gonna go to but
i'm pretty awkward i don't know why we do this but it's just like a thing we do yeah if you ever come
to the netherlands and you are given three kisses on the cheek then you're doing a very good job and
people seem to like you also the second thing i have on my list is pretty well known but we cycle
everywhere now we cycle everywhere oh yeah that's the show you know pretty well known everyone has
a bite however what you may not know is that we cycle everywhere through all circumstances is
it raining outside no problem i'll just put a raincoat on is it snowing is there ice on the
road who cares i can still cycle do i have three kids no do i need to take them all to school
on one bike easy and no we don't wear helmets looking through my list there are quite a few
there are countries in europe where it is practically um not recommended for you to
be riding without helmets i think a lot of places actually recommend riding with helmets for you all
badass bro you're awesome yeah but i think these uh i think i think um i don't know what
title has been given to the netherlands regarding um you know motorbikes bicycles
whatever i don't know what titles have been given to you guys but um y'all deserve a title for that
foodie things the first one is we deep fry everything we have this weird snacks i can't
really explain what they are they range from a mix of meat to noodles whatever floats your boat
we fry everything from snacks up until mars bars you name it we probably defry it and we love it
the next thing is rokistan so we have kind of a national day
in spring the first warm day in the netherlands is called hokkiestak which is basically
skirt day roughly translated and all the girls are expected to get their bare legs out and show
them to the world with either wearing a skirt or a dress chocolate sprinkles on toast if you've ever
come across a dutch person you probably know this as well but we eat quite weird things on our toast
the most well-known one is chocolate sprinkles these are actually really good chocolate they're
not tasteless brown sprinkles no they're actual chocolate you can have dark chocolate or more
like milk chocolate but they're actually really good we also have a more like sugary
rainbow sprinkle version of it and we also have things like scudabikis and strobe meth gas strobe
is hard to explain but it's made from apples and it looks like marmite but it's totally different
so we put that on a toast and we put cheese over it i've never tried this and i only eat
12 on my pancakes but there's a lot of people that do eat it that way or what i have tried
before is chocolate sprinkles with cheese on top was quite good to be honest the next thing
is birthdays when we have a birthday we basically make a circle of chairs and we all sit in a circle
and we have a few snacks on the table usually the snacks is just a plate with blocks of cheese
and cut up sausage that's what we do there's no music there's no i don't know if it's a lot of fun
but it's what we do i i i think i'd like that some peace of mind bro i i've never been a i just don't
i don't know i don't like people i'm just playing i am not the i don't think i'll ever ever
ever attend a concert like a concert i don't think i'll ever be at one of those maybe i'll
slide with a movie theater but i don't know i'm just not a public figure in terms of
i like to be all up in the crowd like if there's 10 people around me it should be moving people if
that makes sense moving people meaning that i'm in the public but it's not the public where i i
got to be like a public gathering i don't like that i just don't and i'm i'm really socially
awkward i might be doing all these videos and i'm talking to y'all and everything but i'm really
socially awkward i don't like to talk unless it's um like an explanation or um we're having a decent
argument about a particular topic or you know we're exchanging point of view i'll definitely
engage with you like that but the small talk it's not me it like it's not me i've said it many times
i don't know why i have so many things in common with finnish people but the small talk it's not me
and yeah it's just not me and i'm trying my best to be more social
it's just not easy i don't know why but yeah we sit in a cycle and we chat to each other the next
thing we do on birthdays and this is especially in the south i'm from the south if you couldn't
tell by my dutch accent for the dutch people watching i'm from the south and we eat fly and
fly is pretty much just a pie and it's so so good my village is near the town which kind of made fly
a big thing in the netherlands way back in time if you want to have proper goods fly you have to go
to the south just go into a bakery and you'll see tons and tons of different ones the most basic one
is basically this kind of pastry with fruit in it but you can also have very like fancy ones with
cream on top and chocolate shavings and all of that jazz and we basically have flight whenever
we have something to celebrate so it's a birthday a wedding pass an exam or if you graduated from
school whatever you are celebrating we usually get fly and you can also see this in the vlog
from when i went home from my dad's birthday i will link it up here so you can watch that as well
the next thing on my list is again food related and it is biscuits mimosas
when a child is born we usually get these round toast things which is called biscoids we
put moistures on top and those are basically little balls with a little thing sticking out so
they look like mice and get blue ones and pink ones during king's day which is another dutch
thing if you don't know it's the birthday of our king it's a huge national celebration
and you have orange ones on that day and those syllables are basically made from anise i'm not
sure if i'm pronouncing that right but hopefully you know what i mean personally i really like it
i sometimes even eat it if there's no baby born so the next thing is again food related but i guess
we dutch people like our food it's a snack wall so remember i told you about those deep fried things
and we love them usually in cities we have these really big walls where you can take the snacks
out of like little things if you have really small order and you don't want to go and wait in line to
get your food we have these walls and you just put a coin in and the little window opens up
and you can take your snack out it's warm it's fresh they just put it in there but it's just
something that makes life a bit quicker and i thought it would end this video on another
foodie related topic and that's that we usually only have one warm meal a day we only have a warm
meal for dinner we usually just eat sandwiches throughout the day and then at night we have
dinner so yeah we only usually eat one warm meal a week and if you want to be really typical you
usually butch let me tell you based off of the cycling that y'all do every day i think y'all
likely would have been some healthy folks um y'all can let me know what that meal is about like you
know what what what like what's the size what's the quantity you know because um i eat a lot of
a lot of like you know what i'm not gonna get into that but i eat a lot more than what she suggested
right but um is the one meal that you guys eat and is it large or is it like you know small
really interesting sandwiches throughout the entire day wild it is around
five or six o'clock i really hope you like this video and if you want me to do more of these
kinds of videos i really like doing them and to share my like cultural aspects of where i'm from
so if you like this give this video a thumbs up because that's the only way i'm gonna know that

beautiful video guys that was a beautiful video i do hope you guys enjoyed it like i did she spoke
