I live in Albany, Ny and the Dutch King and Queen are actually visiting us today because of our historical connection to Netherlands. Every we year we also have a Tulip festival in the spring in our largest park around Mother's Day. It was previously called Pinkster fest, also connected to Dutch.

My grandparents visited Amsterdam in the early 1960s and brought me back a tiny pair of wooden shoes. I was two years old and used to wear them. I still have them and they are a treasured memory. I also have a sweet wonderful friend that grew up there. She was about six years old during World War II and rarely talks about that time in her life except that she was sent to live on a farm to keep her safe. Later my friend shared the beautiful memories she has of her country. She loves European chocolate and is picky about which cheese she eats. She later came to the US, married and raised a family and is now in her 80s. A very special lady.

[@Bruintjebeer6]

😅This was the Zaanse Schans. An open air museum north of Amsterdam

[@ThelemicMagick]

Thanks for the uplifting videos! This wasn't Amsterdam though, the footage shows Zaanse Schans and its surroundings.

[@rubenl2518]

Did you know that the Declaration of Independenceof the US is written on paper produced in one of the windmills you visited at Zaanse Schans?

[@PatrickStaal]

People in rural areas still wear clogs a lot. Even kids and teenagers. I see people wearing them (not that many though) all the time and I live in a large town of about 110,000. They're mostly worn by farmers. They're easy to put on, they protect you from mud, and if a cow steps on your foot you're pretty much safe.

[@ducttaperd]

Ahh I think I found an Oeteldonker😂

[@MariaRoza2011]

As a Dutch person I was so confused watching this after the title mentioned Amsterdam😅. Turns out you went to the countryside? Haha

[@dutch90skid70]

Being Dutch, it amazes me everytime how many tourists go to this area. In a way it's a tourist trap. Yes, the area is still active, but almost none of it is visible in our daily lives. Wooden shoes, wind mills, tulips... It's all just stacked together so people from abroad can 'experience' it during a day trip. If you wanna have a good cheese tour, go to the city of Gouda or Alkmaar or some good street markets around all of the Netherlands. Way better to spend your day looking up actual history in cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam (rebuild after being completely bombed during World War II). I'm looking forward to the next video about your city trip.

[@michielmorssinkhof]

This is true. Amsterdam is so much more fun than Zaandam

[@FeedbackPete]

My friends and I will use Amsterdam as a base to explore the Netherlands. It'll be their first time in the Netherlands. Last year during a three day visit staying in Amsterdam I also visited Haarlem and Den Bosch. That was partly for a mega RecordFair. But this time we will also check out Rotterdam for the architecture and I want to see The Hague. But photography is a passion of mine I had considered going to these Windmills. Wouldn't you say these Windmills in Zaanse Schans are great from a photographic point of view and getting really nice photos.?

[@warriori100]

I love your videos but I can tell you as a local from Amsterdam that that bus trip was completely out of Amsterdam. When you returned you were brought back to Amsterdam Noord (that's over the channel from the train station Amsterdam Centraal). The bus ride took you to the Zaandam area, which is located north of Amsterdam but is an area of its own

[@BelindaFranco-c6z]

It looks like you’re having an amazing time, but you look a little tired CHRIS maybe it’s the time zones. I know you stay up late editing. But everything you do is well worth it. for those of us that will probably never make it to the Netherlands. We appreciate it. The tours that you’ve gone on are simply beautiful areas. And the food or I should say desserts look really good. Please tell Amanda hi in Myles. And remember always take pictures such great memories. Thanks again, CHRIS for sharing. Belinda

Wanted to mention if Amanda is still staying off camera because she can’t wear makeup from the few glimpses you’ve shown of her she looks gorgeous and has nothing to worry about.

Ah, Zaandam. Technicaly north of Amsterdam. But yeah, I'm also proud our town has a mill in the centre of of it. 3:16 This is what we refer to as the polder. If you ever see a Dutch calling it that, that's it. It's like the outback for Australians, but well... Polder is like it, but not exactly. Anyhow this is what is between towns in the Netherlands. Certainly in the less populated areas. You usually see people bicycling from town to town in it. 11:37 Ah! Veenstra, Veenstra! Yeah, I've known Michiel back from when he made radio years ago and listened to many of his other podcast, interviewing radio-dj's.

I thought those pancake balls were aebleskivers (Danish pancake) but after researching (thanks Google) I found out they were Poffertjes (Dutch pancakes). The Dutch version has yeast in the batter and the Danish pancakes have baking powder (similar to American pancake batter). I have a special ableskiver pan I got in Solvang, CA. Now I want to make the Dutch version of the pancakes. Thanks for sharing your adventures. They always get me researching about other countries.

Hi your video on Efteling came up as a suggestion on KZbin today after I watched a few walk-throughs of Utrecht yesterday. It was good to see that theme park. I'm from Scotland and two friends and I are going to Amsterdam in November for a week. It will be their first time in the Netherlands but my third. My first time to Amsterdam was about 10 or 12 years then last year for three days. We will use Amsterdam as a base to explore more cities. My friend had recently asked in there was any theme parks in the Netherlands with rollercoasters so I've shared that video with him it looked impressive. Am I right in thinking with these videos you went to the Netherlands around June? We will also go to these Windmills I think. I do hope Amsterdam and the Netherlands do impress my two friends. I have a soft spot for that country. But one friends favourite place is Rome the others favourite is Berlin. So I feel like Amsterdam has to compete with those for my friends affections.

[@DavidHabnit]

I heard your story on "states", but I'll do you one better. The European Union can be considered the European equivalent of the United States of America. Each European country can be considered as an equivalent of a US State. Each province (or bundesland or canton or other European versions -not to be confused with Canadian provinces, they are more like states-) can be considered as an equivalent of US county. The Netherlands has 12 provinces (counties). There are 2 Holland provinces (North and South) as you pointed out. Europe is a confusing place with many forms of structures, so sometimes it is hard to match things up between nations.

Yes, people who speak English say "Dutch". Probably derived from "Deutch", which means German due to some confusion over it being our neighboring country. "A Dutch person in The Netherlands" in Dutch = "Een Nederlander in Nederland".
