So I have to ask, what do you guys think the craziest thing I’ve seen in the Netherlands!

[y.v.l.]

I do not think Max Verstappen meant that the Dutch are such good drivers, but just that we are used to driving in the rain, which stands for slippery roads and bad vision.

[MrTheoJ]

I really love your editing, it's this almost invisible skipping of locations, where you just keep talking while everything around you changes, it's beautiful!

[leendersc]

In America you get a license because you are allowed to drive.. In the Netherlands you get your license because you know how to drive. Big difference

[EdwinMartin]

I’m impressed you can tell a coherent story told from so many different places in Amsterdam 😄

[jessicacarnley]

I’m from New Orleans moving to the Netherlands next May and you make me so excited! We also know never to honk your horn at people bc of so many incidents of people shooting in traffic. Crazy. Can’t wait to live somewhere safe!

[ImausrI]

I'm Dutch and i would Never in a million years want to raise my kids in the States.
All the freedom, permutations and safety the kids and us would need to give up is literally a No Go.

Detroit guy here, who also happens to be Dutch and lived in Amsterdam in the mid 70s. I agree with most everything you say, even the "the United States is not that bad". And yet we've had 372 mass shootings through the end of July in 2024. In 7 months, we've only had 63 days where we DIDN'T have a mass shooting. Heck, most of them don't even make the news unless it's at a school or university or church or something. I know that countries like Switzerland (where people who leave military service can keep their (sometimes fully automatic) weapons if they want to), Canada, Austria and Finland also have high gun ownership but they don't have the gun violence problems the US has. I believe you are right that it's something bigger than just gun ownership. Perhaps the legendary wild west mentality US Americans have been raised to REVERE where EVERY problem was solved with a shootout and someone lying dead in the street. Thanks for the video.

As I wrote before: I've heard a story of this black hiphop-guy who got arrested in Amsterdam bc of some minor s**t and he was full of surprise that the police where kind and gentle with him, even to the point that the policeman held his hand between the frame of the police car door and the guys head... He was so baffled by it! Btw: of course there are some (racist) a**holes in the policeforce over here as well, sadly enough.

"Cause I'm Dutch" - you start out as a 4 year old on a hand-me-down kids bike with warn tires. It goes downhill from there. You get your scraped knees and elbows. And sure, you learn to ride your little bike in the summer when it only rains 25-30% of the time... But then you have 3 other seasons (Americans - think mildish Canadian weather). From 16 you can drive a moped/scooter and at 18 you may start driving a car. All second hand with warn tires on wet roads.
For Max it was a little different. He got in a cart (small racing vehicle at a young age) but faced similar conditions, and would have experienced the same things other Dutch kids would have otherwise.
Imagine you're 18 years old. You're driving an adult bicycle in non-great condition. Snow has fallen two days ago. Yesterday the sun was out. Snow melted. In the afternoon it started freezing again. So roads turned into ice. And during the night it started snowing again.
It's now 6 a.m. and you have to get to school. Fresh snow covers the ice so you drive carefully. Now you get to a small bridge...
Are you going to go to hospital or are you going to be Dutch?

we had a American friend over, and she was amazed by the fact we have the sofa in the living room with the back towards the front window. she would not think it was safe to put the sofa there lol

[koek]

One HUGE reason that Dutch traffic is so safe is the infrastructure!
- Bikes and cars are separated by a patch of grass
- Car lanes are narrower to increase perceived speed
- Sidewalks are raised to slow down cars
- A TON of roundabouts
- Chicane to slow down cars

If you don't know it yet, there's another American that moved to the Netherlands that is explaining this in a very nice way. The channel is called: Not just bikes

I enjoyed your video too. You got a new sub!

[AdvdW]

I think unhappiness in the US is the most important factor for the (mass) shootings. These six points seems very important to me and should be changed. 1. Pushing to be the best, in all times. 2. Live to Work instead Work to Live 3. Polarization and Racism in/of society 4. Not having a Social Safety Net. 5. Feeling unsafe in Everyday Life 6. A lack of Social Interaction.

[erwinelbracht]

Nice to see your numbers going up! You deserve it my friend
Enjoy the good life here....

Doing an abroad study in the Netherlands next fall, very informative video!

[micheleg.]

So happy to see the growth of the channel! So happy for you!

The light flashing happened to me, I drove in LA and saw a car driving without lights so as a reflex I flashed. It was some big American 60's cars and I heard his tires squealing when he made a U-turn. At that point I realised what I done wrong. Luckily I drove a Ducati 888, and just raced out of there, took the first onramp on the highway and only got off the throttle when I was 100% convinced I lost them.

[cheffyss]

I really like your videos, i am from Canada, live in the states, my parents were Dutch, ...I like what you say about the

[manon]

I just came back from my first us trip to dc and the south. People there drive like they have free health care. That's all i'll say about it.

[ChrisMorray]

As a Dutchie I think you have a very interesting take! Personally I'm fascinated and appalled at the same time when I hear things from the US. Like, there's so much news it's like a constant flashbang, and I think the total size is a huge part of that. Born and raised in the Netherlands, I'm honestly too scared to even go to the US. The gun violence seems extreme. When you talk about not wanting to talk to cops, it sounds like you've been through a lot! When I think of our local cops, I think of a story from years ago, when a mother collapsed while making dinner, and cops arrived, saw the mom, had her taken away in the ambulance, and they stayed for the kids to make sure they got their dinner and they even did the dishes. Cops here really do believe in the "serve and protect" mentality. They're rigid and strict when they need to, but they really do want to help people.
