AN AMAZING 24 HOURS IN ENSCHEDE (our life in the netherlands)

[@WoutervanJoolingen]

I worked at the Universiy of Twente for 16 years in total. Enschede is one of the most underrated cities in the Netherlands

[@80Mrblueeyes]

Why is it underrated?

[@maxdehaas6776]

Only underated for dutch people, the germans take over the city during the weekend or any dutch holiday.

[@sixdotssoftware]

@@80Mrblueeyes People have often low expectations when going to this region. All because it is not in the west of the Netherlands and it's right at the border with Germany. There's so much to do there that it is quite surprising.

[@OMGWTFITSJESUS]

@@80Mrblueeyes probably because netherlands is quite different in all over the places. Like u cant compare west netherlands with east netherlands and u cant compare the east with south or north either. people always seem to focus on west netherlands when they wanna visit netherlands, and i understand them but west netherlands in my eyes is far from what netherlands actually is. in my opinion to figure out what netherlands really is like is when u stay as far as possible away from western side of netherlands. If u ask a guy from west side of netherlands will tell u a different story. which might be tru or might not be tru. but majority of netherlands will agree with me that u wont see much dutch culture in the west side of the country, rest of country isnt really promoted though

[@blauwebanaan4756]

Been living in Enschede my whole life and it's great to see it getting some recognition on KZbin like this. Frank and Charlie has been my new go to place for breakfast/lunch since it opened. The 'Oude markt' is still one of the 'gezelligste' places to sit and have a drink in the Netherlands for me. Thanks for giving Enschede a try!

[@jumpingpiggie422]

Thank you for standing still at the monument, as it shocked the nation. And still brings back memories. But also good to see that Enschede gave you such a nice time, and local treats! Local beers are always a good thing to get if there are any available... Much love, as always.

[@YouriHL]

I live in Hengelo, a city nextdoor of Enschede, as well and I was just one block away when SE Fireworks exploded. We were almost hit by a containerdoor that slammed into a car (and demolished half a house) straight in front of us.

[@YouriHL]

@@hawthorn187 Hengelo sucks

[@blueredbrick]

Both the local government (gemeente Enschede) and extra in storage fireworks products in a heatwave summertime gave the final trigger for this disaster. I feel most pity towards the firefighters but also to the many people that were simply not allowed to get their pets. I thougt this was common knowledgde but apparantlty not: the firework warehouse and business (not factory) was long build before the houses were built close next the warehouse wall. and began doing its business in a save manner. there was even a brick and mortar wall surrounding the largeish area such a warehourehouse would need and it was agreed upon that not new homes were to be bult too close to that area. But over decades and decades that hapened anyway. That is incompetence on the cityplanners and complacaincy on the warehouse company that saw tis happening over the many years. I specifically went to Uiversity Twente to go get an the proper academic degrees in chemistry and physics so I woud then be able to do actual research and develleopment for better quility fireworks and that would also include relocating certain buildings and changig procedures. however I was studying on that specific hot sumer day at my parent place as well as builiding a more streamlined computer based fiiring system tat could be synced with audio or lasers etc. I had helped the local pyrotechnician, great guy and old fashioned a mentor of sorts, and helped him setup up and perform the firework displays on the campus several times per year. There used to be a semi adequate eucation to become pyrotechician in Utrecht (not the ui, but the one below that). Several years earlier the last actuals good quality firework factory that made mostly fountains was pressured to shut its business. After that debacle the whole politics and police did not know what to to do. Easiest and wisest was to look at how fireworks are dealt within surrouding countries such as Germany. There is a healthy pyrotechnics educatios system in place, good regulations, it is part of the culture that also the factories and pyrotechnicians are respected. Enschede could have taken this as a chance to self improvement and built a better and healthier industry, like offering Pyrotechncians education programmas with some financial fraction to be set to the persons who were greatly affected in the city part - Roombeek. At first t was promised that if you lived there before the explosion and the devasting fires that destroyed so many properties of a not too wealthy section on the city you would be able to return to the same house or close to it for the same price as before. That got eroded quickly and when a new tenant would move in they suddenly had to pay the over the top prices that only the ultra rich could afford. No affordable houses were built a new there. The trauma of the event itsef competes to the trauma of the aftercare and broken promises. I obviously could no longer pursuit my fully coherent plan to become an academic Pyrotechnician, but luckily I found Nano materials science alsmost as interesting so i went in that direction. That day it was a hot summer day, but it was it was a dark day weeks and months in the Neterlands. My sincere emphaty to not only the actuals ppl who died direct or indrect because of that explosiom and fire but also to the many more misplaced families and animals that also were were hurt. Enschede had a great fire a century before this event and nearly the whole city was leveled. Commitees and elbow grease rebuilt the city to a better standard including every socials class. there is a bronze plaqette on the big market area near the Hema describing and remembering that century old disaster. Readig that compared to the plaqette dedicated to the Firework waehouse disaster leaves a weird taste in the mouth. Still I love Enschede otherwise this would have not stirred so much emotions from all that time ago.

[@fromthemill5145]

Love to see my hometown on your channel. i was 15 when the explosion happend. Thanks for putting a little bit of it on the show.

[@hiskelogtens664]

Yes, also my hometown! During the fireworks disaster I actually lived in the States, as an exchange student, in Pennsylvania. Remember vividly talking to my parents back then shortly after it happened, who lived about 2, 3 miles away from it. Enschede will never forget🙏❤️. Thanks for visiting!

[@kreazintv]

Hi, I am glad that you show people more than just Amsterdam. Twente is wonderful. But I have another tip for you. Go see Zutphen. It has one of the biggest Librijes. And is a historical monument in itself.

[@ValkryNL]

Nice historical city center too! Has very medieval European village vibes. A lot of spiritually aligned people and shops too if that's your fancy. Supposedly the city is on a ley line.

[@raginggoats2496]

in 2005 when i was a wee-lad i came to live here in enschede, i love it here and probably will never leave. its such a nice city. there is plenty to do even tho its not a big city. and as a metalhead its fun to see that after some dry years metal is making a huge comeback

[@filipnecinski773]

Thank you for visiting (finally) my city. As a proud resident of Enschede, I missed this moment until now. It's great that you enjoyed it despite the bad weather. I'm sure you will return here someday because I think besides the food, the city has more cool places where modernity meets tradition in this not-so-old town called by some a big village (low buildings might explain it?). Enjoy your exploration of the Netherlands.

[@pieterblanken4709]

Nice video of my city. I saw you filming on the station square and actually assumed that you had also been to Van der Poel for an ice cream. That is really worth a visit! Great that you appreciate Enschede.

[@Scythra]

14:25 I agree! There is always room for improvement. :D I actually made the construction drawings for the renovation of Frank & Charlie café back in 2020, is fun to see that the restaurant hosting there is SOOO well received. Lovely owners Nicky and Leoni, also great video!

[@carlinfan-m7v]

That bread is Turkish 😁 I was born and raised in Enschede and still live there. I lived 200 meter from the explosions, will never forget how my windows came blowing in. Enschede is a very nice place to live.

[@micklumsden3956]

Greetings from Enschede - really pleased that you enjoyed our city. You obviously liked the food. But I never saw you get on a bicycle - so it did not seem at all like the Enschede that I know in love. Next time you come, I recommend that you hire bikes and then you’ll be able to get out and see the real city. The countryside around is also wonderful! And on the dedicated cycle paths, you don’t have to fight with noise in motorcars. A final recommendation is the Marktplaats - so many terraces surrounding this Market Square. And it’s so peaceful without the pollution from motorcars.

[@anneliesschouwink-hovestad5297]

Enschede has been my home for 12 yrs now after moving from Florida. There are quite a lot of restaurants here and lots of sights to see!

[@Steffen2k7]

At one point in history during the Textile boom, Enschede was the richest City in Europe. Now it's one of the poorest but gezelligste in the Netherlands. A bit farther away and pretty hard to get to is the Marcook's restaurant, they serve the best ribs and great 20 hour smoked Brisket. On a sunny day the oude markt is one of the best places to sit and watch people go by. Also great nature spots around the city and great little towns like Ootmarsum and de Lutte.

[@cynthian420]

It’s not one of the poorest by far though

[@nikkivanderuit2286]

If you really like special beer, next time you visit Enschede you should go to De Vluchte, its the bar my parents own and we have a changing stock of over 200 different special beers, AND we have a walk-in fridge, so far we're the only cafe in Enschede with a walk-in fridge!! 🎉

Things not mentioned: Enschede was one of many small cities (3-5k inhabitants hence the relatively small historic centre) out in the countryside and then industrialisation hit in the shape of the textile industry. Go see Ootmarsum for instance to see such a city that didn't make it into the big league. It also was the last city in the Netherlands that burned down (wars excluded), in 1862.

What a coincidence. I was in Enschede just the week after you went. I arrived on April the 20th. I ran the marathon the next day and took a week vacation after. Enschede itself was not that much, as most of the centre burnt down in 1862. I cycled a lot in the surroundings and the countryside around Enschede is very pretty. I do see that I missed some interesting visits in Enschede self.

Enschede is a very popular shopping and fun city in the east of the Netherlands and particularly with our eastern neighbors due to its location close to the border which gives it toghether with the University and Saxion and more than 160 nationalities a very international vibe for a dutch city this size. It is also a beloved student city and therefore there are plenty of cafes and entertainment venues in the city, especially on and around the Oude Market in the city centre. Especially on busy Saturday market days you can walk over the heads of many different people who come to the Enschede market for the ''Hollandse Vis'', lakritz (drop) and coffeeshops.

After a few years working elsewhere I worked in Enschede Roombeek again for a few years until two years ago. The Twente area and nearby Germany are also nice to explore by bicycle. I recommend The castle of Bad Bentheim, the city of Münster. Oldenzaal only for the carnaval.

[@DenUitvreter]

This reminds me, once on a trip with two friends we were really hungry and drove into some random village for the local Chinese or something, and the only thing there (Zeegse in Drenthe) was a Texas steakhouse. Those friends are food snobs and all the lighting was with huge American flags, I got a bit worried because rural Dutch doing Americana are usually also into dirt racing, tractor pulling, Dutch language country, competitive belching and hardly ever are accumstomed to the finer things. Inside the waitresses had stetson on, jeans, prarie boots, the portable card reader in a pistol holster, peanut shells all over the floor and beer came in half a liter jugs. So we got even more worried. But the rib eye and the tenderloin were excellent (food snobs don't order T-bones), the rest too, absolutely great. Turned out the place had a repution all the way up to the city of Groningen. Never judge a book by it's cover.

You have to come back on a warm summer night and spend your evening on the 'oude markt' the centrum with the church and all the little cafe's and restaurants. There will be live music, and a lot of buzz and people. Its great ! The other thing i like is going outside Enschede en within 5 minutes you are in the 'wood's' > its very green surroundings, lots of quiet places and nature.

Let me add to this: where you were sitting eating the sandwiches, stood the old Enschede Grolsch-fabriek: there was another location in another town, but they wanted to move both locations into one. The fireworks disaster, that damaged/set fire to the factory (and almost blowing two ammonia tanks on the roof to smithereens :-S ) where you were only sped up that process. (And yes, the factory was restored in the meantime; I do not know whether they are still online, but the transport of the gynormous brewing kettles via road to their current location was filmed. It was ... quite the spectacle!)

Originally from Eindhoven, I studied at the UT (same abbreviation as the University of Texas) in the 90s and still living there. 🤷🙃

The Tardis is actually a so called Policebox, not a phonebooth.

[@buncharted]

oh shit, you’re right!

[@buddy1155]

The Tardis from Dr. Who was not disguised as a phone booth, it was a police box.

1:21 why’d you not show the alligator hide on the wall behind the cameraman

[@annewhistleketle6350]

Fun fact; Enschede is sometimes also called: Pluskut. Because of en - schede , en equals plus and the rest...good one for you to look up for Dutch words :P

[@buncharted]

“schede”? is that slang? 😅😅😅

[@WoutervanJoolingen]

@@buncharted I is actually a posh word to avoid the slang and the medical latin

[@DenUitvreter]

@@WoutervanJoolingen It also means scabbard, and I'm pretty sure it is never used in dirty talk.

[@InfiniteCyclus]

@@buncharted 'schede' is the formal and medical term for vagina.

[@Blackadder75]

@@WoutervanJoolingen I think it's actually the official old dutch medical term... I have a book from 1920 about the human body, they always use that word. My greatgreatgrandparents got it when they married, I think in those days it was possible for married couples to know next to nothing about their bodies and they had to read a book to learn what to do 😅😅😅 I guess they figured it out, or I wouldn't be here
