My grandfather was in love with a Scottish grandmother in his 80s. He brings Dutch gin and cholade springels and cheese and goes home with Scotish Wiskey every month. He says Scottish people are a lot like the Dutch. English people are a bit different. Proud that at his age he travels a lot to Scotland for love.

"There's no such thing as bad weather" Ok so what is your dressing code once a tornado or tsunami whoops your tushy?

So there is a thing called bad weather from many different perspectives. So there goes your: look me being wise attitude.

Watching all the videos where people from all over the world reacting about The Netherlands, makes me feel kind of special. Also funny how some think about the things they react to. Born in The Netherlands it is all so normal to me. And actually we Dutch wonder about things from around the world too. Why do it the hard way where there is a much easier way, like using a bike to use for transportation where it was actually build for. When I was in the USA to work at a Summer Camp, we had lunch. I got myself a slice of white bread, put some butter in it and then peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles. All of a sudden I had about 50 children around me and they all said: “I want to see you eat that…” And I did and enjoyed. Two days later all these 50 children were doing the same and enjoyed it too.

[@FrankHeuvelman]

I put one drop of mayonaise on my peanut butter sandwich. Americans are fond of peanut butter jelly bread. Brrrr..., the thought alone makes me wanna puke. It gives me nightmares about me being forced by Trump Inc. to chew and swallow Jellyfish 24/7.

The Dutch accent comes out when she say's words with the Dutch G in it. We call it a soft G "Zachte G" common in the South.

[@Dannyvhulst]

To add to this, only Limburg (the province she highlights about the vlaai) and Brabant (the province north of us, which you might know from the New Kids movies, although they are more popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany) have a soft G, because of Spanish, French and German influences.

The three kisses came only a few decades ago. In that time, it gave a lot of confusion. No idea where it came from, no idea why it became popular.

In the south of the Netherlands it was always three kisses and when Dries van Agt, born in Geldrop, became Prime Minister he kept kissing three times and eventually everybody started doing the same! 😁✌🏼

[@jannetteberends8730]

The term skirt day comes from France. It’s a movie, “La Journée de la jupe”. The word was introduced in the Netherlands in 1996 by author Martin Bril. He was a bit of a sexist. It’s not an official day, it’s an observation. It’s a day that suddenly a lot of woman decide to wear a skirt. So skirt day can only be established after the fact. The apple syrup she mentioned. She called it stroop, but that’s stroop is made of sugar. Not of apples. And putting cheese on apple syrup isn’t typical Dutch. It’s typical for the province she coming from. The cheese the use is originally Limburger, also called Hervé. The Dutch have a lot of different cookies. The word cookie comes originally from the Dutch word koekje. There is also lot of different kind of candies. More variety than in other countries.

3:24 Cycling in the rain and a force 7 headwind, I survived! I was a bit damp 😉...I could wring out my clothes🌨

[@d3al3rplays68]

My Dad used to ride his bike (later brommer) to or from work early in the morning when we still had really cold winters. When he came home he would take of 3 layers of clothes and his beard was rock hard from the Ice which had formed in there. But every time he braved the elements again.. He only had a fall with his bike once... and it was when he was upended by a sliding Car on an icy road...

[@richdannys2906]

I grew up with 2 Dutch parents in Canada.. And we often had appelstroop. But I have never ever heard of throwing cheese strips on top of it! I was more of a hagelslag guy. And got a lot of strange looks from my classmates when they found out that my sandwich was made of pure chocolate.. Either "sprinkles" or flokken (flakes).

[@Frankie_alaplaaja]

The worst weather I cycled through was probably back in '90. There was so much (head)wind I couldn't get ahead, so I had to walk. (11 Bft, 5 C, no rain).

[@palantir135]

She’s a student so she may do things differently than the average dutch individual. Three kisses is only with family or friends and it’s not necessary. You don’t often do it with strangers. There you give a handshake. We indeed cycle everywhere in every weather but we also take public transport or the car. Helmets are on the rise, especially by elderly people. We certainly don’t fry everything but maybe she as a student does. We cook, bake, fry and deep fry like everyone. She shows mostly deep fried snacks and I’ve never seen anyone frying a mars bar. Rokjesdag is real but isn’t mandatory. It’s more a piece of folklore. Chocolate sprinkles are great. We also put ginger cookies on bread. Stroop (apple juice cooked until it gets thick) is great and some people eat it with cheese on top. Birthday parties are different. We usually sit in a big circle or circles. There is coffee or tea with (apple) cake. Later on other drinks are served and several (dutch) snacks are served. Yes, we in the south eat vlaai. So good. You can hear she’s dutch a tiny bit when she pronounces a G. But she’s from the south where the G is pronounced very softly. Muisjes are anise seeds covered in sugar. Snack walls are everywhere. Yes, one warm meal. Usually around 6 pm.

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Its not just with family, if I visit a friend for his birthday it is definitely customary to give his mother three kisses. Its mostly a thing with older women, I wouldnt do that with a woman my own age, they would probably not like it.

[@OmeNeil]

I am 54 years old and live my whole life in the Netherlands, but 5 kids on one bike? Never saw that? And otherwise i made a picture of it to show it to my friends hahaha

Worst weather i have rode my bike trough is a serios storm that will stop you in your tracks if you get it head on, or blown half across the road if it hits you from the side, all the while having so much rain no rain cloths protect you as it just runs trough every part it can. The plus side of it is not many other people out on the road.

11:33 its a national holiday here. The entire country goes ballistic. People out on the streets celebrating and having a good time. Outdoor bars pop up everywhere. If you have never seen it or experienced it I would recommend it big time.

[@moneilwisby61]

The dutch accent is more a kind of clarity of tone. I can always recognize it no matter what language they're speaking. There's often also a lot of "uh..." when the sentence stalls out and they're thinking of the next thing they're going to say. You see that a lot in sports interviews.

[@Bramfly]

As a Scottish man you’d settle easily in our country The Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊. Especially having seen your reactions.

[@B-Meister]

[@MerryMoss]

Here is my point of view on a couple of the items 😊 - Thee kisses on the cheeks: personally I've always hated those - it's usually with people you're not actually close to or really like that much. (it might be more of an older people thing) For me hugs are all the way, or if I don't know somebody well a simple handshake works fine too ^^ - Cycling in the (fresh) snow isn't as bad as snow that's kinda molten down a bit, driven through (so lots of lines going through it) and then frozen over again.... that. is. _dangerous!_ - Girls/women _expected_ to get their bare legs out on "rokjesdag"?? Yeah, nahh, mate 😅 I barely like to show my legs at all and often forget that "rokjesdag" is even a thing. - The typical circular set-up for birthdays is another thing I don't really like. It becomes _very_ hard to understand people because there would be different conversations happening at the same time, sometimes between people who are across from one another, so you would basically have to shout! 😂 With friends I've experienced more casual parties where you just sit/stand wherever you want & usually chat with the people who are close to you - if you wanna chat with someone else, you just simply walk up to them and stand or sit there 😇 no need for shouting, and it's less overwhelming too. --- Oh, and besides cheese and meat we also often serve crisps, nuts, etc. And usually we start off with giving everyone a slice of birthday cake ^^ I just discovered your channel and the first couple of videos have already been a lot of fun to watch! *subbed!*

[@mavadelo]

3:00 If you look more closely at the picture you will see he is standing at a crossing and is getting ready to start moving. I don't think he will be actually cycling as the kid in the middle is occupying his saddle. That said, I don't deem it impossible he has found a way to ride it. Usually it s mothers with multiple kids and multiple grocery bags. Gotta repect the Dutch moms, hauling 3 kids to the supermarket and riding home with 20Kg in groceries on that one single bike.

Haven't seen her video before, allthough i am even Dutch! And now i am also going to try the thing what she likes on bread! What i did aome years ago was Nutella and cheese on bread, or Nutella and "ossenworst" (don't know what is that in English) but it is delicious! 😊

[@SuperPassionflower]

haha your Scottish accent sounds very much like one of my two expat neighbours, one is English from Sheffield area the other Scotsman from Edinburgh. This Laurie Robyn girl speaks a very almost perfect "proper English". Her name indeed is not a usual Dutch name but perhaps she's born from 1 or both British parent and raised bi-lingual. Her Dutch accent definitely is Limburg, with "soft G" ao.. I am Dutch, Amsterdammer to be precise born in the capital 67 years ago, and used to be Britofile-Anglofile so I can relate to Laurie in a way. The Dutch customs what can I say. About the cycling pretty much true but I don't cycle at all anymore. We don't fry up just about everything anymore, but yes loads of deep fried snacks we have. The 3 kisses on cheeks actually hails from a French catholic habit that probably came to NL in the times of Napoleon but not sure about that. It mostly is used among family, relatives, good friends and acquaintances. all sorts of stuff on bread like sprinkles. Depends, there are many who don't crave that and would settle for a slice of ham, salami, cheese instead of the sweet stuff. We don't eat much toast, rather slice of bread or a bun. We do like toasty though! Perhaps she means round shaped rusk where she says toast.. we call that Beschuit. with blue sprinkles when a baby boy is born and pink for a baby girl, that is a habit. Diabetes type II absolutely is on the rise in Netherlands!! Also obesity. Snack walls, ah yes. Best known franchise is FeBo. Originally from a small bakery-coffee corner in Amsterdam Ferdinand Bolstraat famed for its croquettes. Hence FeBo. The circle of chairs and snack table at birthdays is a bit old fashioned but yes, still a custom in many families. Personally I have never heard of Rokjesdag, but that's just me I suppose. Kingsday is a national happening. Monarchists will decorate everything in orange for sure, and even republicans may join the variety of ways to celebrate. Free markets for adults but also specially for children selling their old stuff, then buy other people's junk to sell the next year. Crazy habit haha. music festivals everywhere, pubs overcrowded and people dancing and drinking on the streets incl. city centre areas such as the Amsterdam canals and squares. Oh and Vlaai, oh yes that is typical Limburg, but much loved everywhere else in the country. It IS delicious. Laurie hasn't mentioned Vlaggetjesdag, which is also a big thing. If you like herring, that is. First day of the new catch, usually somewhere in June. this year 2024 Vlaggetjesdag is 22nd June and I cannot wait!!!! One can wake me up any time for a delicious herring and forget about the onions!

But i love cheese and strawberryjam together on a toast 6. Hate those birthdays. Me and my friends always celebrate it a bit different with metal, beer and a nice bbq with lots of meat. With my son i go to an amusement park. For the rest i don't celebrate my birthday with my family because i dont have none anymore. 7. I am from Groningen which is in the northern part of the Netherlands and our nr1 food is the eierbal. A deepfried egg in a ball of ragout. She is correct about the vlaai though... they are delicious from Limburg!! 8. Yes, beschuit met muisjes is a thing but we made a pie in the blue color. And nope im not celebrating Kingsday, just because they dont have decent music anywhere :p its just horrible :p 9. Yes, the FEBO walls, they are great! 10. I eat 2 warm meals each day because of some health issues that is a bit much to explain in english.

[@OneTheAndOnlyOne]

About the Dutch accent, I think she meant when she says words in Dutch.. I immidiatly heard she's from the south because of her Dutch accent (when she talks Dutch) her English has a "English accent" as we learn in schools here in the Netherlands (My accent isn't proper English though).

The 3 kisses is fairly recent (if you're old, like me) and came from Brabant province I think. Western Brabant I gues, because I'm from eastern Brabant and no kissing whatsover. Bike-wise: we have bakfietsen (bin-bikes) which used to be freight-bikes, but are now used mostly to transport children. Rokjesdage is not really a thing. And yeah, adults eat all that stuff, I'm not one of them. Ok, I have eaten garlic cheese with honey and that's great. The birthday thing is tragically true... Vlaai is from Limburg and some parts of Brabant, like were I'm from. Limburg on the other side of the river Maas (Meuse in French/English) from where I lived.

You said (probably by accident} that the netherlands lies east of France but we are located to the north-west of France. And the 3 kisses are simple. As kids we are taught when crossing the street to look left, right and then left again. It is the same with the three kisses your head goes left, right, left. Rokjes dag is not sexist, and usualy it mostly means that you have to wear sunglasses even if the sun is behind the clouds. But it's a nice tradition. Appelstroop you can compare to marmite for consistency only then with a good taste instead of a bad taste. The mice she was talking about are anise seeds with a sugar coating.

Cycling? there's very few weather types that would prevent us from cycling. For years I worked in Haarlem while living in Amsterdam which is about a 16 mile commute. I rode that every day by bike, even in blizzards with about 4-5 inches of snow on the ground. Regarding speaking English, we Dutch are considered to be the most proficient in speaking English of all non-English speaking countries. If she is a foreign exchange student in England, she probably would have been on the upper end of the proficiency distribution to begin with, and through emerging into the language 24/7 she would have improved her proficiency even more, even to the point of losing her accent.

it's not strange to find similarities between scotland and th netherlands... all through the 16th, 17th and 18th century the netherlands was the main european trading partner with scotland. there were even a couple of dutch ports that were mainly populated with scottish merchants, and probably a bunch of smugglers too.

Kissing you do, when greeting a woman. Otherwise it is a handshake, but not a sweaty, barely touching handshake, bit of firm grip is expected. However it is true it is 3 kisses, left, right, left. Most other countries only do 2 kisses. If your kid is 4, he can ride his own bike, besides you on yours.

I'm Dutch but what??? Chocolate sprinkles with cheess on top? She's weird

[@willemgeboers]

To be honest man- she is bragging about not having an accent. There is none. Chapeau for speaking English that well- and she knows it- and than saying; you can hear i'm from the south. Pretty cocky if you ask me.

The three kisses are fading out. It is very formal and many changed to just one or two. The deepfry thing is absolute nonsense, i can assure you. No idea where she got that from @ all. On rokjesdag woman are not expected to wear a skirt or dress, but they can if they want to, and many do. Kingsday is a day off for everyone. Sure its the King's birthday, but most just celibrate the day off in Orange 😉.

This person is not so much telling you truly Dutch things, rather her things. Some things are Dutch, but then she tends to be misunderstanding the concept or product. It's a bit odd, to be honest.

Wij hebben wel muziek en wij lopen wel rond op verjaardagen, is dit iets dat in Limburg gewoon is?

[@d3al3rplays68]

Nah.. denk dat het in de rest van het land aan het verwateren is. Ik heb zat foto's van vroeger waar de cirkel prominent aanwezig was.. en dan ook de 'timer' elk half uur naast iemand anders zitten... (Kom zelf regio Amsterdam). Tegenwoordig zie je dat volgens mij niet meer in onze regio of iig niet zo prominent als vroeger.

Verjaardagen bij mijn familie is heel vaak zoon kaas plankje in de woonkamer. Als t goed weer is versprijd bet een beetje binnen en buiten liggend aan hoeveel mensen er zijn maar de cirkel bestaat wel. Ik kom uit flevoland voor context.

@@killer30556 Bij ons in Rotterdam ging alles aan de kant en werd er gedanst en muziek gedraaid. Als er iemand zat dan was dit wel aan de kant, een kring werd er wel gevormd tijdens het eten, want dat kon niet anders, de huizen zijn erg klrin.

[@OmeNeil]

A birthday without music? Never be to one of that. Maybe a birthday of her grandmother?
