As an older man at 69 living in Australia, my greatest wish is to go the Holland before it is to late. I was born in "The Hague" and we sailed to a new life in Australia when I was 3 years old. No regrets with my life, but I relish to see my old birth place and a country my parents always told me about.

As a Dutch guy I'm happy to read so many people like my country. Another thing for those who like it, In an episode from Europe From Above, check the episode of Bourtange. It's another piece of art and historical beauty.

Reading all those Dutch comments, it strikes me the Dutch people seem so humble about their achievements. No self praising, no boasting. Amazing.

I visited in 1985 and stayed in Dutch hotels, the type rarely visited by Americans. Around the same time, my aunt & uncle visited and stayed in only Americanized hotels. We later got into severe arguments over what the Netherlands is like. I believe he merely saw a relocated America, while I saw more reality.

My parents were both born in the Netherlands but immigrated separately with their families to Canada in the 50s and met in Ontario Canada. I love watching videos about my heritage. This was really good and I was surprised at how much I already knew about this beautiful little country.

Also WIFI and Bluetooth are Dutch inventions… And ASML is the only company in the world that can produce chip making machines with the most advanced EUV lithography method implemented, that are used by Apple, Intel, Samsung and TSMC to make the most advanced computer chips.

The Dutch aren't greedy, they donate the most to natural disasters in other countries, but at the same time, they can be frugle.

2:06 Dutch herring (haring) is not raw at all. It's fermented in the enzymes of the fish's own pancreas which is not removed at the initial gutting, and brined. The process is called 'kaken' in Dutch.

Officially we have 3 languages. Dutch, Frisian and Papiamento (a language spoken on our Caribean Islands). But we love to ride bikes. I myself go to work on my bicycle. It's a ride of 21 kilometers and takes me about an hour (because of trafic lights). My record is 43 minutes. All the trafic lights we on green so I could drive straight through to my home. I was 46 at that time. In the fall and winter, I take my car. It's nice to ride a biclycle, but there is a limit. I don't like cold and strong winds.

There are also Moluccans from Ambon/ Indonesia in the Netherlands, Indonesiabs from indonesia, Arubian from Aruba and other from Curacao, Dutch Caribian in Netherland, part that also just as Suriname was just like Indonesia was part of the Dutch kolonial history. The Dutch Caribean part as Aruba, Bonaire Curacao, St Maarten, St Eustation, Saba are still part of the Netherlands. Therw are also a lot of Chinese in Holland.

Just as the Hugonots who were persecuted by France long ago and came to Amsterdam. See also Prins Bernhard and Prins Claus were German. There are also Germans in the Netherlands and many others from Europe countries for a long long time ago.

There are also refegees in Netherlands from, boat refegees from Vietnam, former Joegoslavia, Argentina, also from Africa.


Suriname people are in the Netherland because Suriname once was a part of the Dutch kolonial history, just as Indonesia, Ambon. That is not the same history as the moslim people from Marroco or Turkey.
