Dutch Culture Shock: An American’s First Week In The Netherlands

Our American friend visited the Netherlands for the first time. At the end of the week we talked about his experiences and first thoughts on Dutch Culture. Did he experience culture shock? What was his first reaction? We share it all in this honest discussion.

  1. This was a great video. I loved hearing Peter's impressions of The Netherlands and its people. Of course, anywhere that's "quirky" is immediately added to my dream agenda! I have several Dutch friends irl and online, and every trait Peter attributed to the Dutch certainly applies to my friends. They are "the four Fs"–friendly, frugal, funky, and forthright. 🥰🤣 Wonderful people with their priorities straight.
    As an aside, I'm happy that you pronounced "van Gogh," Dennis. Now I have proof for my American friends that I've been saying it correctly all these years! 👍😂

  3. I never realized this, but we do have a whole range of variations on "joehoe" and "yo" sounds that all mean goodbye, aside from actual real words like "doei", "aju", "tot ziens", tot de volgende keer" enz.

  4. what will fun for some time is to bring them to Maastricht and let them eat Limburgse Mosterd soep, Oud Amsterdam Kaasballen and Limburgse Zuurvlees that's something way different then the standard food they ate like stroopwaffels, Kroketten, Haring and that kind of food. What you also can do is let them taste some food from the North of the Netherlands like: Arretjescake, hete Bliksem, Aspergesoep, and my favorite Groninger Mosterdstip what's a thick Groninger mosterd soup where you can dip potatoes in. This are kind of Dishes i am Really sure a lot people never heard about it even some Dutch civilians i am sure for they never heard about it.

  5. Je ziet gewoon dat hij zo bezig is met nadenken om positieve dingen te zeggen. Terwijl je hier gewoon jezelf mag zijn. Misschien is dat wel het grootste verschil tussen Nederland en Amerika…
    Ja de Nederlanders hebben wel iets meer ‘meegenomen’ uit Indonesië. Niet alleen de pindasaus. Foei😂

  9. Just wanted to point out that Amsterdam is not a representation of The Netherlands as a whole. I'm from Maastricht. Here in the south, culture is very different from that of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is loud compared to Maastricht. It's much more quiet here and people are more laid-back. Less crowded, though increasing over the past years.. Amsterdam is 750 years old, Maastricht is from around 50 AD. It was a Roman settlement called "Trajectum ad Mosam" at some point, which translates to "crossing at the Maas/Meuse". the city still has walls around it in certain parts that were built in the 1200's.. we also have the country's oldest survivng city gate, called the Helpoort. It translates to Hell's Gate. So, Amsterdam is nothing like the rest of the country and it kind of is a false representation of the country as a whole. Amsterdam is a tourist destination and therefor everything there is geared to promoting the city as much as it does.. creating a lot of stereotypes that are not entirely right..

  11. Doeiiiiii🤣🤣🤣🤣
    But seriously, how nice that you did this. Nice to have a friend from another country. Exploring each other’s cultures and environments. It makes you a better person and aware of other cultures/worlds

  13. I wished people would skip Amsterdam and visit the rest of the country. Personally I hate Amsterdam, there are so many beautiful towns and villages to visit, a lot better than Amsterdam.

  15. we also have a better tower of pisa…. is located in Leeuwarden 😛 i am a count w.j.j. van den berg(h) if you get the chance … please try suggerbread from Friesland
