Don't worry. I've told tourists that our (Dutch) tapwater is as clean as our mineralwater in the bottles. They looked at me (exactly like Dramatic Chipmunk does in that gif) and continued hoarding waterbottles from the store with a distressed face. Because there was no way that we had clean water.

I always wait until a few before birth and then I gift something. Also, if the mom is sick or weak, I do not celebrate until both are healthy, unless requested by the mom.

@catherinetodd5163 While we're at it, THANKYOU Canada! :D I heard the Netherlands (I'm Dutch) send tulips every year to thank Canada. I get so frustrated when I get told by Americans that I have to be 'respectful' of their 'superpower country' (god knows who invented that term, but several people have used it to me) because if it wasn't for them, we would be superdead, superbombed and speaking German and so on. (I do speak German, btw, but that's because I learned German. I love the German language.) There's empty threats from keyboard-warriors that say; 'Well we won't help you in the next war then!' and 'Careful, we have nukes! Don't disrespect us!' and all sorts of similar conversations. I always check if it's an empty troll/spam-account and it hardly ever is, which makes me sad. And the Canadians are too polite to ask for their recognition :) So, here you go, again; THANKYOU CANADA FOR YOUR HELP!

Liam Neesson (I believe I wrote his name right) told Graham Norton (I believe) that a woman thanked him for making the movie Taken, because now she realised that she'd never let her daughter anywhere near Europe. She didn't realise how dangerous it was, and how you can be kidnapped and sold into sex-slavery at any moment. ...add to this the plot of Despicable Me 4 (married off to a cheese-loving weirdo with a pig), the LizzyMcQuire-Movie (admired by a cheating and lying Italian) and all the other movies that involved the American women being harassed, kidnapped, hurt, violently taken home by local farmers that think "picking up girls" just means picking them up and dragging them home and there you go, nobody wants their women to go anywhere near Europe anymore.

We (Dutch) have Rememberance day on the 4th of May, which is quite a serious situation. I mean, we're 2 minutes silent, we lay flowers, the whole country takes a moment to remember every soldier, victim or any loved one or anyone that has died (during wars or otherwise) and any refugees that are currently on the run or wars that are going on. And I've met a few Americans (and one stupid German) that felt that was it totally uneccessary for that to be planned on Star Wars Day.

Yeah I've been emailed by a lady that asked me (in the Netherlands) if we had internet. It was an email-response via the Postcrossing-cards (she emailed me a thankyou-for-the-card-response.)

@candicemonique5927 That doesn´t mean that Dutch tapwater is just as Flinty as US tapwater.

@camembertdalembert6323 He's doing alright, he has a CD out. Just Youtubesearch; Adi Hetz 88 And you'll get his greatest hits, his Youtubechannel, his intro, everything.

@joaocanabrava8500 It´s a reference to the Flint-water, yeah, the main reason, I think, that so many Americans are (still) terrified of tapwater.

@allister.trudel Wouldn't make sense, because we don't have that in the water. I just said that.

Oohh I've heard that one too. They feel we should definitely celebrate it in the Netherlands.

19:55 Sorry to sound morbid, but first thing that came into my mind was; "...except for small children crossing the street."

21:23 it is not more dangerous, crime went down. Trucks are dangerous though

It's also to do with the weather. If it's humid and hot, you might wear bigger, unflattering pairs of short trousers. Usually that is not the case in Europe, so we wear skirts or..I don't know, a dress. Also, the Dutch tend to wear simpler clothes (I've been told) and we don't wear make up most of the time, which is also because of the practicality, because it rains about 99% of the year. So people just accept it and have some warm clothes on and..youknow, you can always make yourself look pretty for parties, you don't have to over-do it for work or something. But I've never seen a normal person walk around here like American tourists do.

I've only had Starbucks chocolatemilk and it's like gulping down some lukewarm sugarwater with milk that someone pre-drank in their mouth and then spit back in a cup. Because of the (melted sugar) slime that's in it.

@Luubelaar Hahaha ahhww how nice :P Mine comes from a very (very) old story I wrote when I was 14, about a Native American and a cowboy somehow finding out they were twinbrothers. When the cowboy asked the Native American (in Dutch) why he has a big scar on his hip, the Native American said (in heavily fantasy-accented Dutch) "Widde kuu." It was supposed to sound like "Wilde koe" which means 'Wild cow." When I wrote it, I pronounced it out loud, the Dutch way and thought it sounds so cute that I later exclaimed; 'Widdekuu!" when my ex asked me for a Youtube-profile-name. It's been about 14 years I think, since it was made haha.

`They were so beloved...` Well, no the army might love them, they were very practical. The soldiers however, called them ´the secret weapon´ and would get violently sick when eating a little too much of them. Better than nothing ofcourse, but they absolutely did not love them, they were a last resort. Source: QI, with Sandi Toksvig. If you youtubesearch 'chocolate vomit' right behind "QI" you'll find the video.

@Luubelaar Haha, coïncidentally, are both of us (and your son) from the Netherlands, by any chance? :P

@Luubelaar Aaahh okay, haha, I thought, because of the name. '-laar" refers to 'the one that is-" Like giechelaar, that means the one that giggles. I thought maybe Luub would be from "luub you', like 'luubelaar' the one that luub-s haha.

The tourists in my country haven't realised it yet. "Why don't you Dutch people just stop speaking Dutch and switch to English? You speak English anyway, it's much easier for us tourists if you just change the whole language, like what does it matter, you'll still be able to understand, it will be so much more inclusive to everyone visiting!" "Why don't you just celebrate Christmas more like the Americans do, more in the American way? It is so much more fun that way, bigger trees, more lights, more food, more-" "Have you ever heard of an E-bike? We've created it. Maybe it will reach your country one day...I hope it does, you might be able to afford one, one day." (My mom has had one for the past 12 years or something.) "Just so you know, if we hadn't saved the day during WW2, you'd be speaking German now, sunshine. Leave it to the superpowercountry to fix it. You better show some more goddamn respect to us, because if you don't, we won't send anyone the next time you need us." (not a tourist, but a conversation via internet.) "So, like, I just saw a man bleaching the floor of the airport. Hm. That's nearly up to American standards."

1. Bread is not bad, in small amounts 2. Europeans are not all thin 3. We move a lot more than Americans 4. Probably have different bread Haven't watched the video. I am just an ADHD easily distracted hyperactive lady that is commenting shit everywhere without looking at the video, sorry.

American tourists in the Netherlands are bigger, dressed like they don't care (baseball cap, wrinkly shirt, shorts and slippers) VERY loud, and look paranoid and scared, as if they think that they can be kidnapped any moment. Also, waterbottles are clutched in their hand. They don't trust to drink óne drop from our taps. Not even when you assure them of the high quality.

She has an American accent, because all the movies (that are pushed to us sometimes) are American-accented.

The french are thin because they let everything slide off of them. Other people's judgements, opinions, wishes, expectations... the french don't carry that. They just shrug with a nasal "AUH" and go on their way.
