German here. I am lucky enough to live right on the Dutch border. In this way I benefit from the advantages of both countries. the Dutch come over to shop, fill up with gas and visit restaurants. We, on the other hand, often spend our holidays on the Dutch North Sea. and many cities are well worth seeing. We love the Netherlands!

"If there's any Dutch people watching..."
Don't worry. If you put The Netherlands in the title of your video, us Dutchies swarm together like flies!

Living in the Netherlands myself, I never quite understand why foreign tourists always want to come to Amsterdam.
There are so many other cities that represent the Netherlands better, such as Utrecht, The Hague or smaller cities like Dordrecht, Gorinchem and Delft.

When katrina hit new orleans , they contacted the dutch to give advice on how to , american army engineers said it was impossible to close of a bussy river, The dutch showed what they have done with the busiest seaport of europe , 2 massive doors that close when severe storms approach , they build what the dutch suggested and on dams levees dykes etc , the americans thought well we dont want to pay for to much so they left over a space and used their own dumb nitwith ways . and look , the parts the dutch gave advice on stayed dry no floods , the parts the americans made a plan got swamped with water.
1 time 50 bilion investment or 14 bilion in damages every year . your choice.

Not Dutch myself, but English, and have lived here for 35 years ! The Delta works are indeed amazing. Wait until you see one of those bike parks close up. You'll be amazed !

You talked about commuting larger distances in the US than in the Netherlands. That's true but although I'm Dutch my commuting distance is also too long, but one does not only travel to work but also going grocery shopping, visiting friends, going to the gym etc. Those are the times I use a bike, not a car. And that's almost impossible in North America (US and Canada). If you want to learn more about that there's a great channel called "Not just bikes" about urban planning.

Hi Joel, a few years ago I had to attend a couple of academic conferences in the Netherlands and I had a fantastic time staying at nice beach towns like Nordwijk an Zee and on my second trip I stayed at another beach town called Scheveningen next to The Hague, NL. Since I was at a conference, I was invited to a day-long boat ride to the Delta Works which protected the coastal areas from being inundated by the North Sea. I was also invited to a nice dinner trip to Rotterdam where we ate at a "rijsttafel" which is an Indonesian style of cooking which the Dutch inherited from their Colonial past.
In English, rijsttafel translates to “rice table.” It is both a meal and style of eating that can feature up to forty Indonesian dishes from across the archipelago served simultaneously to families or small groups. It was fantastic!
Also, because public transportation is so good in the Netherlands, I was able to travel all around Amsterdam and I took a couple of river boat cruises which were incredible! The architecture in Amsterdam is just incredible, as is the easy access from coastal areas to the area's famous Canals. I also had business in Paris, so I took a high-speed train there from Amsterdam and had the time of my life. From Paris, I went to Strasbourg, France which is where the seat of the European Parliament is located (and in my case, I needed to visit the HQ of the European Science Foundation, also in Strasbourg. All were very memorable destinations which I highly recommend! -- Lee

I was born in Noordoostpolder, where my father, a civil engineer, was involved in the expansion of what was then "Noordoostpolder" and now is Emmeloord, its central town. Do consider visiting and -like you did in Germany - not sticking to Amsterdam, but traveling beyond. NL is so small and you can get everywhere by train from Amsterdam in about 2 hours, usually under 1 hour traveltime.

Watching your reaction ... we can clearly see that once you had your Europe experience - you want to learn more about foreign countries - and how living is there.
So go on: you are young and free. And when you visit the Netherlands, you already know that it´s easy to visit the bordering countires within hours.

I've just spent 10 days in the Netherlands and it was fantastic. I started in Tilburg (I went there for a concert) and ended up in the city of Groningen to meet some friends. I travelled through 8 provinces (Limburg, Noord-Brabant, Flevoland, Gelderland, Noord-Holland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe), making a conscious decision to detour Amsterdam. I met some of the kindest and friendliest people I'd ever seen, saw a lot of beautiful places and there were zero communication problems (I had learned some Dutch, but when I got stuck I just switched to English). I already want to go back.

Nice video!
I live on that reclaimed piece of land called the Noordoostpolder, and to me it always felt like the normallest thing in the world.
But when I visted the US last year, and told people I lived around 16 feet under sea level, they were completley in shock.
Also a fun thing to notice, is that the Noordoostpolder is not even 80 years old, meaning it has never been occupied by the Germans, French, Spanish, or Romans

if you want to find out a bit more about the Delta Works system,
the video: How the Dutch Created The Netherlands. from the channel Geography Geek. has a great one.
it talks about why The Netherlands decided to build it, how it was build and the different parts of it.
and the channel Megaprojects has a good one about it to.

Joel - think big! Two boys I know decided to visit Europe. They travelled 10,000 km by bike taking 6 months and visiting more than 20 countries. The boys were aged 12 and 14. They did all the planning and organizing, including budgeting. They took their mom and dad with them who supplied the cash. The family lives in Canada.
The "little one", as he was known in Portugal and Albania, was responsible for their tour in Copenhagen, on their cycling "rest day". Out of consideration of those who might want to sleep in (mom!) they did not start until 8 am. The schedule ran until 9 PM. There were 4 scheduled meal breaks but otherwise no down time. A five-star day, apparently.

yes, you should really visit the Netherlands. It's really beautiful there. Germany is also very beautiful. both countries are quite different. I live in Cologne and sometimes go to the Netherlands for the weekend.

Hi!, I'm a Dutch myself and I really enjoy watching other people react to videos like these, if you enjoy watching these type of videos about the infrastructure and culture then a channel called "Not Just Bikes" is maybe worth a try!

If you ever want to visit the place with the many old dredge windmills, it's called Kinderdijk, and it's located near Rotterdam.
And the Delta Works, especially the big storm surge barriers like the Oosterscheldedam or the two Eiffeltower sized barriers in the Nieuwe Waterweg waterway, are worth visiting.
Fun fact, every year there is a national championship "headwind cycling", which is held on the Oosterscheldedam.

Hi Joel , I enjoyed watching this video. The Dutch border is only 15 km away from my house .I often go to Holland. I visited Delta Works (Pierre)

I love your reaction when the video mentions the 12500 bikes in the parking garage :) I live nearby, it is really huge and has an official bike lane right through the parking garage.
If you ever visit The Netherlands, please remember that Amsterdam is a great place for tourists, but it is not comparable to the rest of the country. This is said about most capital cities, but the difference between Amsterdam and the rest of the country is more extreme than average, if you ask me. Go visit Utrecht, Haarlem, The Hague and Leiden, and don't forget smaller cities like Maastricht or Groningen if you have time, and the many great nature parks like the Veluwe.

A few fun facts. In the Netherlands there are no pot holes, recycled sewer water is 100% drinkable, nobody wears bike helmets, you can speak English 90% of the time, their pancakes are great and they're very friendly and welcoming. (except in Amsterdam centre which is a hell hole tourist trap).
