Increasing the number of Barnards here in The Netherlands. Welcome.

[@TheLindsayLaLaLand]

I'm also a South African legal professional considering moving! Please can you take us through the visa process and maybe also you and husband both adapting to working in the Netherlands versus SA :) Love the channel! Keep it up!

[@janvanleeuwen2535]

Welcome to the Netherlands, Marté. The weather here is a daily challenge but I think you are already adapting to that. And a little advice being in the Netherlands. If you have any questions about almost anything, just ask people. Others in shops, on the streets, neighbours, colleagues, anyone. Normal Dutch people don't mind and will help you. Dutch Directness 😂😉👍

It is why we enjoy and open up during the summer so much.

[@elsbethfongers4476]

Dreft is the most expensive brand for dischwasher pods. Try the Jumbo store brand. Does the same, costs 1/3.

[@martebarnard]

Thanks for the tip, will be sure to try another one! 🩷

[@bertbaur3066]

Albert Heijn brand 40 pieces 3.79

[@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536]

You shouldn't buy the dishwasher pods in the grocery store. They are often at sale in shops like ,kruidvat or action. Same goes for wasmachine pods. They are way to expensive in the grocery stores.

[@Stichelfritz]

About the cheese try goat cheese with Fenegriek (dutch name don't know the Englisch word for it) taste. Just discovered it a couple month ago.

[@globaldreamteam]

love the video!

[@alexschutte596]

Here's a free tip from a Dutchie hahaha (free, we Dutch love free) for a better cheese and stroopwafel experience, I recommend you go to a cheese shop or just to a market. This also applies to stroopwafels. They taste best when freshly baked. After this experience you will never want anything else.

7:56 I couldn't do a homeworking job. Glad I have job at printingpress and have my 36 hours work week. one week 6 am to 3.30 pm other week from 3.30 to 11 pm working

[@mvdh877]

6:16 yum looks good

[@erikslots6980]

heh, drop the Jumbo groceries for your "daily" stuff. go to the Action for your dishwasher tablets, do the basics at Aldi and Lidl and then use Jumbo or Albert Heijn for stuff where taste is important :) oh, and Lidl gets the best scores for fresh fruit and vegetables almost every year so when you're not buying stuff at markets just get it there for relatively decent prices :)

[@martebarnard]

Thanks for the tip! We had no idea where to shop the first couple of weeks - tips like this one helps so much :)

[@lumbraci]

@@martebarnard In the Aciton a lot of stuff is of bad quality, dishwasher tablets oke. Never buy tools for the garden and often they imitate stuff from other stores, but than the plastic is thinner, the contstruction sucks and so on. People are buying there a lot of stuff, whichs comes in the trash bin soon. Nothing wrong with other articles though, so use your common sense.

[@taunteratwill1787]

Yes you have to learn to avoid the scam of expensive brands! Cheaper products will do the SAME for you. 😂

[@mvdh877]

3:51 2,5 kg a huge bag of potatoes....i always have a 5,0 kg bag at jumbo but those are not bio that i have

I love how you consider that a huge bag of potatoes :D.

Hahaha I have since realized what a big bag is; that was taken in my first week in the Netherlands 😝

Dreft is too expensive. I buy a house brand 100 pc. for about 10 €

[@mvdh877]

dreft is expensive but i find dreft the best there is

[@LeandroMuntendam]

Hoekom jy het Nederland uitgekies as jou nuwe land?

[@martebarnard]

Hello! Ek het ‘n hele video daaroor (“why we moved to the Netherlands”) wat al ons redes gee indien jy dit wou kyk! :)

[@LeandroMuntendam]

@@martebarnard Dan gaan ek die kyk, en kan jy in jou next video nie Engels praat nie maar Afrikaans. Want ons Hollanders verstaan julle baie goed. Ek like die Afrikaner taaltjie, en nee, ek sal nie gaan praat oor POES nie 😄

[@petersteinmeijer519]

Or don't use a dishwasher.

[@martebarnard]

I don't see that happening haha, very time consuming and inefficient :)

[@mvdh877]

@@martebarnard my father always said a dishwasher is for lazy people lol

[@user-cw2op5xy9k]

buy an other brand much cheaper

[@rinynewton8297]

Go into kruidvat for the pods. Never pay full price for them.

[@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536]

Exactly 😂
