Top 10 Places To Visit in The Netherlands - Travel Guide - REACTION

[@patrickhendrikskingston9303]

You're Harlem is named after our Haarlem. Just as new York was originally new Amsterdam, brooklyn was named after Dutch town of Breukelen, coney island named after konijn eiland (rabbit island) flushing was named after Dutch city of Vlissingen. And even Yankees was a slur for Dutch colonials who often were named Jan, Kees or Jan-kees (that became Yankees)

[@jeanleveau7904]

Don't forget that The Netherlands was the richest country in the world in the 17th century. It's a small country with a rich history. They built New York initially New Amsterdam that's why you have Harlem in NY named after the city of Haarlem or Brooklyn coming from Breukelen near Utrecht. I'm French but I've been living in the Netherlands for 16 years near the Hague and Delft. By the way they forgot Delft in the vidéo which is my favorite city

You were wondering about the food, "D", here you are: "Dutch Food - 10 Delicious & Famous Dishes in Amsterdam" - Traditional Dishes (on YT) At around 20, I was an au-pair in Amsterdam. The lady originated from Indonesia (formerly the Dutch East Indies) and she was cooking divinely. Sunday brunch consisted of an array of specialty breads - some, I remember, made with onions, seeds, ... - and as many different kinds of cheeses (in the USA, you only know the Gouda but there are so many more that I wish you'll be able to taste some day) and jams. Then, particularly when there were visitors, there was a "Rijsttafel" [a rice table], which consists, in good Asian fashion, in a huge bowl of rice and a dozen or so dishes (meats, vegetables, sauces), all absolutely delicious. After a couple of weeks at her home, I could no longer zip up my jeans! And when I left a few months later, she told me that it was time because my appetite was beginning to weigh a little in her food budget... :o))) Eet smaakelijk !

The "waterbridge" refers to an aqueduct, and in the Netherlands, we have three types: the aqueduct, viaduct, and ecoduct. The ecoduct enables animals to cross from one part of a forest to another without encountering traffic. Great reaction! Thank you for appreciating our small country with its huge history!

[@marktegrotenhuis]

Aquaduct you mean. Not Aqueduct. Just saying.

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Most of the good foods on a market are from Spakenburg. Next to Amersfoort. Wy have a 350 Mobil fishshop on market 's in the Netherlands and Germany and Belgium. And then wy have that whit olmost 500 Mobil bakery 's. Greetings from Bunschoten-Spakenburg next to Amersfoort.

[@mirjamvond1731]

Can you imagine tourists come all the way to the Netherlands and sometimes hardly leave Amsterdam, when all of this is location not even 2 hours away

[@randar1969]

The Netherlands founded New York but it was called New Amsterdam till the english bought and renamed it ;-) Who you think gave Harlem it's name? Indeed named after Haarlem. We sold it to the English in exchange for Surinam because 2 english settlements north and south of the area where already creeping up due to (hudson) river and we didn't want to go to war over it. But the people stayed so the english had a lot of people with dutch names like jan and kees... Now you know why new york is the home of the Yankees ;-)

[@AB-fy7zw]

I live 1 Hour from Netherlands ,my Favorit is Giethoorn.

[@DiniKusuma]

All clips shown here are gorgeously amazing, especially the Tulips farming one ... It looks so beautiful and neat from above ❤️❤️❤️ btw Mr. D ... would you mind reacting video titled "Why you need to try Indonesian food in the Netherlands" by DW Food channel as Indonesian, I think this video tells another unique story of Netherlands ... 🙏🙏🙏

[@LalaDepala_00]

It's not German architecture. It's Dutch architecture. They are not the same. Our Harlem was there first ;) The Dutch used to own New York.

[@gerbentvandeveen]

New York, was the New Amsterdam. And Haarlem and Breukelen/Brooklin. Are named afhter Duchts cities. I,want to shool in Amersfoort. It's 5 miles from Spakenburg. On my bike and moped for hyshool. At a shool after the centr of Amersfoort. That, was my ride to the Koppel Poort.

[@MLWitteman]

Greetings from the original Haarlem! My city was the namesake of your Harlem in New York. Back in the days that it was still controlled by us, and New York was called New Amsterdam. I’d love to visit the Harlem in the US though! Loads of history in that area, especially when it comes to music. But do visit Haarlem too! You’ll love it, I’m sure. About Haarlem: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarlem

[@arnaudlevoyageurhorrifique]

the Netherlands are surely at the top of the list of countries to visit for me, if I wasn't a hermit I would visit there and I can go there by car since I live not very far away.

[@Holgi1904]

7:55 I lived exactly there in the mid90‘s as a student👌

[@WatchingTheWorldWithD]

OMG and you LEFT????

[@Hanseaat]

Good reaction! And that Flag-thing, it is the other way around: What was the French or Dutch flag before? The Dutch flag, in use since the 16th century, is the older of the two. The French flag in its current form only dates from 1794.

[@Hanseaat]

Oh and the waterbridge over a higway is called a Aquaduct

[@Maxence1402a]

@@Hanseaat A naviduct, to be precise! And aquaduct in Dutch is aqueduct in English ;-)

[@8888ronaldo8888]

You saw this maybe thanks to a Dutch invention called WiFi as we did invent the microscope telescope CD DVD blue-ray bluetooth and yes the stockmarket , the one in New York on the then Dutch waalstraat (now Wallstreet).

[@pietergreveling]

17:24 In this one you see some crappy places, but that's subjective! 🤪✌🏼 Not Just Bikes Even Small Towns are Great Here (5 Years in the Netherlands) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKXTlIqLprujf8ksi=j4I2jMlEicrJ!

[@aorta538]

10:00 only 4 miles from here... 🌷🌷🌷🌷 -love Noordwijk aan Zee 🤗

[@robbieceltic1036]

NY's harlem comes from our haarlem when it was new amsterdam!!!!

[@ErwinStechapfel]

Do you know what I always think when I see these videos - there are super rich people who secure a place in a space rocket and go on a "holiday" in the ISS. It is certainly a great experience, but as we see again and again, there are so many wonderful places on earth that one lifetime is not enough to see and appreciate them all, to spend a reasonable amount of time there. If I had the money, I would see all these places and stay everywhere for at least a month and do nothing else except marvel at the beauty of our nature and the architecture and cultural creations of the people. But since I don't have the money, I think these videos and Google Earth are great. 😂

[@letheas6175]

7:45 Yes people are living there, I live a little bit further away but still city center. And no I'm not rich, I'm a student with a 2 bedroom appartment as part of the social rent system (for which you just have to be lucky or spend a lot of time for to find something, but it definitely is possible). So rent is like 750 per month as it's protected (from getting too high) by the system. But yes, if I had to buy the property, that would be at least half a million.

[@letheas6175]

Also fun fact, that castle was created by Cuypers, one of the most famous architects of the Netherlands. He also created arguably 2 of the most iconic buildings in the Netherlands, the Rijksmuseum and the central station of Amsterdam. Later, his son also became and archtict and he and his son designed the cathedral (one of my FAVOURITE in all of Europe, and actually, in the top 5 largest more recently constructed cathedrals) shown at 8:28. Such a talented family! Imagine being able to create stations, churches, museums and castles all while creating the best buildings in each category

[@rmyikzelf5604]

1:19 on the flag. It is actually the other way around. The Dutch Republic was arguably the first modern nation-state (no king, not governed by the church, not part of some royal family's inheritance). Their flag (funnily enough called the Princes Flag, because the Prince of Orange was considered the leading force in the 80's years war of independence against the Spanish Empire) was the first tricolour (national) flag in the world. Originally it was Orange/White/Blue but the orange tended to quickly faded to red under the influence of the elements, so it changed to Red/White/Blue fairly soon. That flag can be seen on many paintings of Dutch ships and naval battles from the 16th century onwards (maybe even before that). The French, the Russians, Luxembourg and a few others later took inspiration from that flag. And all modern tricolours (flags with 3 coloured bands) can be traced back to that Dutch Republic flag.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

6:30 yes, that's just the lens distortion.

[@lisabakker8331]

Please please please react to more video's of the Netherlands. It is a very small but beautiful country. We are one of the only countries in the world who overwon the sea. Half of the country is below sea level but we made it a place to live. The Netherlands is helping out New Orleans (and many more places) with the fight against the rising sea level. The Netherlands from above: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6PckmmDbbaNoLM How the dutch created the Netherlands: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2rXdnR4q9N5jtU Oh and about the food?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHfUqXmNnqZob5I

[@marktegrotenhuis]

At 6:40 -ish that leaning of the buildings is just the effect of the wide angle lens on the camera.

[@rob2hae445]

Amsterdam has a policy that 30% must be social housing all over the city. So also in the canal erea.

[@patrickhendrikskingston9303]

Actually the Dutch flag is older than the French flag. Only the Danish flag is older in Europe.

[@Nico3039]

les alentours du stade de l'ajax c'est pas mal pour une visite en ce moment ^^

[@patrickhendrikskingston9303]

😂😂 that's where the Adams family lives 👍👊🏼

[@nukubulibre]

In a Defqon video you said that you wanted to pay 5000 dollars to fly from America to the Netherlands just to go to Defqon. I think you'll want to stay a while after this video.

[@ConnieIsMijnNaam]

I am from the Netherlands and last May I stayed in ‘your Harlem’ for a month. It is easy to dis on Harlem because of poverty, drug use and other problems. But there were also great people who cared for the poor in their community, interesting history and art, a church on every street corner etc. The history of how tens of thousands of black people fled persecution and discrimination in the south, came to Harlem and created great art and music in spite of desperate circumstances is not less valid than the story of the Dutch fighting the water for centuries.

[@freddyfrieza6742]

Bro !! 😂😂 the first part about the French flag took it and turned it around.. they actually freaking did that 🤣🤣🤣 look it up

[@femkeklijn4802]

Just move to europe for some time and visite al things you want to see. Get a house and a job here and you wil get the european holidays 3 a 4 weeks a year. Take a tent and visit all the things you want to see.

[@meeuwtje]

This video shows you a town called Bijlmermeer. Earlier this town was considered to be the Dutch getto. If you want to compare Harlem with our Haarlem. Please compare a US ghetto with a Dutch ghetto. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4fbnWSGd7eZmJI

[@palantir135]

As usual they only show places in the west and middle of the country, around Amsterdam and Utrecht, as if the rest of the country isn’t interesting enough but that isn’t true. These places are just farther away from Amsterdam where tourists use to flock. Maastricht and Heuvelland Limburg, Den Bosch, Nijmegen, Middelburg. If you use a wide angle lens, everything at the side of the frame is getting tilted. Your Harlem is named after dutch Haarlem.

[@krakakapaul]

Just book a trip, don’t stay a month. 5 days could be more than enough for a Netherlands trip. record your trip and make a several experience video’s. If you plan and don’t stay in Amsterdam it won’t cost over 1000$.

[@pietergreveling]

Ryan makes great videos! 👍🏻 But the best "first" introduction video for the Netherlands is by Rick Steve! 👌🏼🤞🏻✌🏼 Rick Steves' Europe The Netherlands: Beyond Amsterdam kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57Nomivht-Bn6s

[@rmyikzelf5604]

7:42 if those houses are still peoples homes (most aren't because no-one can afford them, so these days many are businesses) they are indeed millionaires or more likely old-money billionaire families. They were built in the 17th and 18th century by some of the richest people on the planet making shedloads of money from controlling world trade.

[@schmidtchristian1401]

Europa ist 👋👋🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱🇪🇺😊

[@mandje2002]

5:45 ??? what are you saying now?? German architecture ? you won't make any friends with this comment. Dutch and German architecture are quite different.

[@Ikmijnnaam]

[@Hanseaat]
