  • Natalie Tran should do more for Lonely Planet

  • what kind of bicycle they are riding? It so unique.

  • @1extenderpro most people in the netherlands ride "omafietsen" (grandma bikes)

  • Not border by France

  • Pretty soon it's going to be Islamsterdam.

  • Amsterdam is one of my favorite places to visit. I have done several segments on day trips out of Amsterdam as well as some fun and unique places to see, like the "cat house." No, not that kind of cat house a real live floating canal house with a cat sanctuary on it. You can see it on my youtube channel "couplestravel" or my webshow "scattertravetv"

  • Nice video of Amsterdam, albeit a bit aged. However it does not do justice to the many aspects Amsterdam has to offer, even though a few were named outside of the well known tourist traps. Heck, I do daily videos from Amsterdam and even then, I get to discover new details and fun things about the city like every other day. The best experience though is probably by visiting for yourself. I recommend doing so between April 28 and May 7th with usually nice weather and 2 major one-day-festivals.

  • blij dat ik daar mag wonen (glad that i live there)

  • she is a lonely planet author so she should know her stuff

  • MORE THAN A TRIP - FROM INDIA TO NEPAL

    An Incredible Video about an Incredible Trip

    Enjoy it

  • OMG give the woman a break 1 she is AUSTRALIAN not american in a strange continent, SO she got a few details wrong, YOU Never have huh, try discribing your view of australia or one of its cities 2 she was trying to post a little segment for her friends and other australians and the rest of the world , All she is doing is giving amersterdam a glowing report on just how nice it is , nothing more .

  • Nice to see how a stranger looks at a very Dutch city. Thanks!

  • Why does everyone have to fight and prove a point all the time..why cant you just watch the video. I was looking for nice comments and I scroll down and its just people fighting. Chill.

  • "Amsterdam is bordered by France"

    So, here´s a woman who has lived in Amsterdam for years, and despite that doesn´t seem to know that:

    1. Amsterdam is a city and therefore is not borderd by any country.

    2. The Netherlands, the country of which Amsterdam is the capital, is bordered by Belgium in the south, not France.

    Damn.....

  • @HomoYoutubus And the Netherlands is also not bordered by Luxembourg :)

  • @HomoYoutubus Well spotted mate

  • @HomoYoutubus : Netherlands and France have common border in St Martin . may be this could explain why she said that .

    by the way : Amsterdam is great !

  • @HomoYoutubus

    The distance between Amsterdam and the french boarder is about the same, as between Amsterdam and the german boarder: 250km

    Paris is even closer to Amsterdam, then Berlin..

    But you are right: The Netherlands do not share a boarder with France. There are about 50km of Belgium in between ;)

  • i Wish to live in Amsterdam some day ....

  • amsterdam more than coffeshops? yeah...dont care, i came for massive amounts of weed .

  • Amsterdam is so beautiful. I went there recently with my wife we booked our trip with Easy Military Travel and they were really helpful. I suggest going to Amsterdam as soon as you get the chance!

  • Amsterdam is definitely a place to go and like a lot of European cities full of nice old buildings and the whole bicycle thing gives it so much personality. it's crazy most of people from the Netherlands speak a lot of different languages.

  • If there is one really ugly and unsexy sounding language in Europe it is Dutch, at least the obscure dialect they speak in Amsterdam and The Hague. In Ghent, where I am now, it sounds very cultivated.

  • @luxembourger

    but that's in belgium.where like in the south of the netherlands they speak with a soft g.it's the sharp g they speak in holland that makes the language sound ugly to foreigners i think.

  • Una ciudad que quiero conocer

  • I have been there!

  • There is no such thing as dutch culture. That has extict a long time ago. Long live Dutch culture (sob).

  • A country who can't even protect one of their greatest and legendary van Gogh (whose grand son was killed by some radical lunatic) deserve no respect.

  • Porn and cannabis capital of the world. get high dudes....

  • Nice video about Amsterdam !

  • 4mins of total bullsh*t... Amesterdamn has only coffee shops and red-light district worth of checking out :P

  • Yep, been there!! check!

  • iv been to amsterdam, and people down there are rude and ignorant as fuck..

  • @HashSmokerDude420 i'm affraid the whole world is turning out that way

  • @HashSmokerDude420 Ye, well have you ever been to Paris or France in general...?

  • @omoplata5 Amsterdam is in Holland... idiot

  • @HashSmokerDude420 umm I know that? but just saying that if you think that people in amsterdam are rude then you should visit france

  • amsterdam is quite a messy city in parts and loads of trash everywhere. there are better places to visit. I personally am dissapointed with europe compared to north american cities like vancouver which have much nicer scenery

  • @210482fmj Id rather do a tour of europe than the US anyday

  • @sy2pie i'd like to do both. for uk currency you get a better deal due to the north american exchange rate with your money. europe is more expensive

  • @210482fmj

    Depends on personal taste I think.

    Cities in Europe have a feeling of age. (Well... most anyway)

    When I was in the US, I missed that feeling.

    While that has its own beauty I missed it and therefore in general I prefer European cities.

    But feel free to disagree :)

  • @thedutchman01 don't forget canada. the flight to canada is amazing in itself

  • @210482fmj

    Never been there so cannot comment.

  • @thedutchman01 if get the chance go to canada. try and get a flight on a clear day as the scenery is amazing.

  • @thedutchman01 New York City actually feel's very old in my opinion; if you spend your time travelling around extremley modern and developed cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas it's a really strange feeling once you drive around Jersey Cities winding stone streets, look at the old skyscrapers which almost look like Castle Towers and the best part of course is Brooklyn Bridge. But I do Agree nothing compares to Europe, though Personaly i prefer Rome, Athens, Monaco, Barcelona ect.

  • @Hyperborea2012 go fuck yourself

  • She got married in a country that is a whore house.

  • Meeh, it´s not a superawesomemegacool city, but it´ll do. It just sucks that you have to pay for everything, even to use the restroom. I guess you can say it´s a bit overtourismed.

  • Shes lived and worked in Amsterdam and still doesnt no that its in Holland but thanks for pointing out all the surrounding countries.

  • bordered by France and Luxembourg ... right

  • wunderschön ..einfach wunderschön!

  • but i loved every minutteeeeee lol love dam want a flat there

  • just got back from the dam, very eventfull, check my page and see my lap dance club video....... boobs n all on show..... we got threatned by a crackhead with a truncheon, that was fun, and got sold terrible drugs by a black street dealer... it was like baking powder lol... 50 euros for nothing

  • @ProuDToBeDucth

    I don't hate americans as a rule. Having met quite a few who work in my town, they are for the most part great people. Sofar I have never had a bad experience with any american I have ever met. (Although I do hate that teaparty and the creationist movement, but that's besides the point.)

    Neither am I jealous of them. We've had our moment in history as a nation. But it is logical that we would not be a superpower. We are too small for that. But I am still proud of even that.

  • @thedutchman01 I was looking for information on Amsterdam and with I quick look on Wikipedia I couldn't find any information about crime, poverty or ethnic backgrounds in the demographics section. I can imagine that a lot of people migrated from other European, Asian and African countries, but what about Americans? In your opinion are there a decent population of Americans there?

  • @cyphi1

    I'm sorry. I don't live in Amsterdam. Nor do I go there alot. So I am gonna be unable to answer your questions from my own epxerience.

    But from what I hear. Crime is rather high by dutch standards. Which means it is still rather low for alot of other places. Simple rule. Don't move around on your own. And don't ever buy drugs from a stranger on the street. Aka don't be an idiot ;)

    And I have no idea how many americans live there. But near everyone speaks english.

  • @thedutchman01 thanks for answering my question. Good info :)

  • @cyphi1

    There are many foreigners in amsterdam, especially people from suriname (old colony), moroccans (the worst group of our society) and turkish (a bit less worse). If you're in amsterdam, really watch out for the moroccan youngsters because they will rob you and beat you for your money, and that isn't exaggerated. There isn't really poverty in my opinion, but there are neighbourhoods outside the center with many non-western immigrants which are poor.

  • @azfantje2006 While me and my friend were on a train to the efteling amusement park from amsterdam we stumbled upon some Morrocan/Turkish dutch young looking fellow's. We are both young adults and they were threatning us on the train to give them our money. With a knife! I refused and told them to leave us alone. nothing happened after that.

    you are right about them being punks. they were going on and on about how amsterdam sucks balls and harlem is for the win aswell.

  • @Jobnik100

    Yeah we've got that here most of the time ;(

  • @thedutchman01

    bitch even if your country was twice the size of russia you'd still be the trash of the world because you're stupid

    seriously look at south Korea !!! we're not much bigger than netherlands and we're one of the best countries in the world producing many popular world class brands like Hyundai, KIA, Samsung, LG, Daewoo etc. all you dumbasses produce is cheap whores and shitty phillips that no one outside of europe gives a shit about

  • @MrKra7as

    I am alos not sure what the size of our country matters in anyway. Nor do I know why you even bother bringing it up. It is a small country? So what? Is that supposed to insult me? It's fact. I'm not that insecure about my country that I have to hide where I am from. (Unlike you I might add looking at your reaction to Paul999)

    In a recent study by the UN the Netherlands was voted to be the 3rd best country to live in across the world.

  • @thedutchman01

    and that's because you have low standards, you think having a job and something to eat and a house to live in is PERFECT !! oh and insurance !! yeah our life is so perfect !! if you ask an american ( 100x better than any country in europe ) he wouldn't seem happy because he has a higher standard of life and expectations beyond your european comprehension.

  • @MrKra7as

    "all you dumbasses produce is cheap whores and shitty phillips that no one outside of europe gives a shit about"

    I suggest you go to your local hospital and ask if they have any phillips equipment. Seeing as how they are one of the biggest and best suppliers of medical equipment in the world.

    Beyond that I can point out ING, Royal Dutch Shell, Ahold, Océ, Unilever, etc etc.

    We are also the worlds biggest exporter of vegetables. If admittedly Mexico is hard on our heels these days.

  • @thedutchman01

    yeah I will go tomorrow to see if there's any fucking phillips why use shitty phillips if we have LG and SAMSUNG and DAEWOO huh bitch??? HUH??? shell isn't that the fucking oil company? guess what we only import oil from two countries in west asia Iraq and Iran we don't need your beer infested european oil in our country.

    ahold has no assets in asia

    Oce doesn't operate in asia

    and I just looked up ING, i gotta say the building in amsterdam looks pathetic it looks like a clog rofl

  • @MrKra7as

    "guess what we only import oil from two countries in west asia Iraq and Iran we don't need your beer infested european oil in our country."

    Uhm... Shell is a major player in the oil business world wide. There is no oil in the Netherlands itself anyway. Gas we got plenty of though. And we export that.

    You asked for a few dutch companies. I couldn't care less if they operate in your country or not.

    And what does the looks of the ING building have to do with anything?

  • @MrKra7as

    Now I do wonder... Why do you even bother coming here spouting this stuff 3 months after last we discussed here?

    Are you that sad, and that hatefull of my country that you can't let it drop? That you can't stand that my country excells in certain knowledge? Like solar power? Watermanagement? Medical equipment?

    You are nothing more but a sad bigot. And I feel nothing but sorry for you, for your hatred of a country you clearly know little about.

    Human educate thyself.

    And stop hating.

  • @thedutchman01

    and the reason i came back is because that fucking idiot ( by idiot i mean typical european ) paul999 replied to my 3 months old comment a few days ago and I remembered how pathetic your country was so I decided I should make fun of it some more. and I don't hate your country specifically I hate all of shitty europe except the UK and Ireland

  • @MrKra7as

    "(by idiot i mean typical european)"

    And this is exactly why you are nothing more then a bigot.

    YOu hate all of europe besides the UK and Ireland. This only shows you know nothing about euroepe besides a few preconceived pictures. You are looking for things you can hate. And I am sorry this makes you such a hatefull person.

    I suggest you grow up and get over your hatred of anything. I once despised the US. nowadays I just see things that are wrong with it, and things they do good.

  • @MrKra7as

    I suggest you grow up and get over your hatred of anything. I once despised the US. nowadays I just see things that are wrong with it, and things they do good.

    Aka. I grew up. I learned. I taught myself, I talked to americans living in my local town for work etc etc.

    You see. I like to learn. I like to grow as a human. And I donot mind to be proven wrong. You have not proven me wrong though. You have only prooved that you have an irrational hatred. And that's just sad.

  • @thedutchman01 Thank you. I get so sick of the trolling babies who use youtube as their personal forum to bash the USA. It get's really fucking irritating. Everybody has something to learn from everybody, no matter what country they are from.

  • @MrKra7as Oh and a few fun facts of both our countries. South-Korea is over 2.4 times as large. Has over 2.9 times the inhabitants. GDP based on Purchasing Power Parity S-K GDP per capita $31,753 NL GDP per capita $40,764 GDP nominal S-K per capita $23,749 NL per capita $47,172 In other words... Yeah... do some research before you spout bullshit on the internet where people can easilt call you out by using such inventions like google and wikipedia.
  • @thedutchman01

    the only reason people have heard about holland is because they want to fuck your women or want to go their to smoke weed, it's a tourist attraction for idiots who want to go and be lifeless dumbasses. and when have you ever had your "moment in history"??

    seriously holland sucks your country doesn't even have a name you sometiems call it holland sometimes nederland lol admit it there are many shithole countries out their but at least they adimt they suck monkey dick

  • @MrKra7as

    Wow... It took you 3 months to come up with this answer?

    So people only come here to smoke weed and have sex?

    Fine. Not my choice. I cannot control what other people think and do.

    They are still brinigng money into our economy.

    Holland is a part of the country The Netherlands. We use holland at times too yeah. But theres several reasons for that that are too boring to explain.

    Our moment in history was in the 16 and 17th centuries, when we became the most powerfull country of europe.

  • @thedutchman01 ". But it is logical that we would not be a superpower. We are too small for that"

    "I am alos not sure what the size of our country matters in anyway."

    rofl stop contradicting yourself son of a whore

    and that UN poll is BULLSHIT ! it ranks NORWAY and DENMARK on top 2 and holland top 3 !!! ROFL!!! all these country suck ASS!! they ask the natives if they like their life and of course your simplistic dumbass will say "oh yes it's amazing !! i'm so happy !!" ..

  • @MrKra7as

    Before you criticize any research. It is probably wise yo look into how that research was done.

    Now ofcourse you won't do that. Because you are a bigot and bigots donot like to be proven wrong.

    Your loss.

    Aka, it is not a simple matter of asking how happy people are. They look at healthcare, income, education, etc etc. Put those numbers all together and come to a decision. And the Netherlands came in third.

  • i'm gonna become a ductch citizen there until people wake up and see that weed isn't a dangerous drug and legalize it or at least decriminalize it.

  • i hate the red light,dirty fucking place...

  • @fUCkyOUbL0WM3 yur a looser if you dont like to party then why go there get a life

  • @MrQi19 fuck you you stupid asshole,the red light has the worst coffee shops in amsterdam,everything is way over priced and there stupd dick heads like you everywhere around there.I hope you get thrown in a canal and catch aids

  • I LOVE AMSTERDAM AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE YET

  • Since when is Amsterdam a country and bordered by France, Luxemburg?

    Hmyeah, hilarious it is.

  • @MrAronymous exactly. why didn't she say that Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands? lol.

  • 2:43 -scary non-stereo laughter

  • @Ambar88 yeah heh, slightly Erie

  • the moment i my first step out of the central station, i fell in love with the city of Amsterdam.

  • @ProuDToBeDucth

    1. i'm 100% from NK

    2. wtf is belgen

  • @ProuDToBeDucth

    rofl all asian countries are richer than the netherlands. you only have a lot of money because your country is as big as my shit and because your lives are so boring you just don't know what to do with your money so you just leave it laying there in your banks.

  • @MrKra7as : ahaha you insult Europe because you are a fucking transexual asian motherfucker who got fucked by europeans all you fucking life.

    Fuck you slit eyes asshole ! go hang yourself ! GO EUROPE ! DOWN WITH THOSE FUCKING UGLY CHINKS !

  • AHHhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!I cannot wait to go to Amsterdam in 2 weeks! i won a first class ticket there and back for free on xploreu.com//invite/David Lam101450 just by filling out an application and being a college student. Coffee shops and delicious food here I COME!!!

  • cant wait to get there, gotta be eager cuz im there in one week...

  • im going to be there 28th of july 2011... holla if u will b too

  • @PaulyThaDon

    holla

  • @PaulyThaDon Yep

  • and as the old saying goes "if you are dutch, you aren't much"

    this is actually true, there's not much special about being dutch. yet the stupid dutch twist it and say if you ain't dutch you ain't much, yea right, you ain't much if you're some badass american drag racer, you aren't much if you're a korean taekwondo master, you aren't much if you're a rich arabian prince, aren't much if you're a chinese shaolin master.

    yet somehow you are much if you're a stoned, drunk lifeless dutch bastard.

  • @MrKra7as

    And the comment about our saying "If you ain't dutch you ain't much".

    It's a joke.

    We don't take it seriously, because it's a joke.

    And we don't expect anyone to take it seriously, because it's a joke. We know and understand that our country is a small country of little true importance. But why should we not have the right to feel a little bit of pride over it?

    Also that joke is not saying we donot respect other countries.

  • @MrKra7as

    And last but not least. I have no problem with immigrants. You got those kinds of idiots in every country in the entire world.

    But can we feel offended when somebody comes here and says the things you are saying about our country?

    Also, I donot use drugs, and I have said this before. But the dutch are among the people who have the lowest amount of drugusers in the world. And the highest amount of those are occasional users only that stop soon. More so then in other countries by %es.

  • @alleswatikleukvind

    Mwach. Ik vind het grappig om zulke idioten met de neus op de feiten te drukken.

    Daarbij heb ik geen respect voor racisten, en hij is overduidelijk gewoon een rascistische idioot die nog nooit in Nederland is geweest, ondanks alles wat hij zegt, en dat vind ik ook grappig om te laten zien.

    Daarbij het meeste van wat ik zeg is niet eens tegen hem gericht, maar tegen anderen die eventueel hier komen en lezen wat hij schrijft.

  • @thedutchman01

    first of all - I'm not a racist, I don't hate white people or any of the races that make up the dutch community, I just hate the lifestyle, mentality and idiocy of the dutch people as an ETHNICITY and not as a RACE.

    secondly it looks like some people agree with me, my comments are getting thumbs up. And look who's standing to defend the netherlands, only the dutch people.

    pathetic.

  • @MrKra7as

    Ah... so... Rascism can only be between races? Forget the fact that you can be rascist towards muslims in general, who can be of any skin colour/race?

    What is the difference? You clearly hate dutch people, and our country? I fail to understand how this is anything but simple rascism.

    Secondly, I don't see any thumbs up on your comments. But that can be due to YT messing up.

    But assuming you are right. whos is to tell me that's not simple you yourself thumbing it up?

  • @MrKra7as

    Ow and p.s....

    Even if you are getting thumbs up more then me. So what?

    That doesnot make you right all of a sudden, That is an argument ad populum and thus holds no water because it is a logical fallacy.

    Even if 90% of the people who came here agreed with you. That fact alone still doesnot make it any more or less true in any regard. It just means some people agree with you. That is all.

  • Comment removed

  • @amp984

    What are you even talking about?

    Even despite the fact that you are blatantly not british, because no proper brit would ever call it soccer.

    How am I criticizing the UK in that post to which you replied? Which was about the logical fallacies of an argument ad populum.

    And I would think that any proper teacher would applaud it if one of their students could recognize such a fallacy.

    And that is despite the fact that they are part of the english language, even if they are latin by origin.

  • @amp984

    Beyond that. I am now compelled to ask, why my country sucks compared to the UK.

    Because we have lower murder rates per capita?

    Because we have lower crime rates per capita?

    Because we are richer per capita?

    Now note to everyone else. I am not saying the UK sucks. I am just pointing a few things out that contradict what this particular person is saying.

    So, what do you even know of my country? Why do we suck compared to britain. Which we may very well, but proove it.

  • @thedutchman01 I'm from Sweden and I TOTALLY LOVE AMSTERDAM! I've never been there, but well in Zandvoort. I was small (like 4 years) so I stayed with grandma while my parent went there, and they were in love! The canals look BEAUTIFUL, as well as the Rijksmuseum, Artis Zoo etc. The only things I dislike is the legal prostitution and drugs.

  • @alleswatikleukvind

    dutch people are so stupid it's hilarious. you use complex english vocabulary trying to sound all smart and educated yet you still fail at basic grammar.

    i also noticed that you can't even speak your own language properly. i heard many people use the word "hun"instead of "zij" in many cases. you're just so dumb you should have let the country sink long ago.

  • @MrKra7as

    So... You cannot succesfully debate me so you turn to attacking others?

    Besides. I never said I am good at english. I will be the first to admit I make many mistakes. Particularly in spelling. So what? It is not my native language so it is normal to make mistakes.

    The example you gave as to how we speak our own language bad is just a type of local dialect. Not every englishman speaks proper english all the time, they too have dialects. So whats your point?

  • @alleswatikleukvind You try a spell living in the Vaterland (Deutschland). You'll quickly learn what "pedantic" means, I can tell you!

  • ...i.e. Germany.

  • @skay48

    germany is kinda dull but I'll give you the credit of being less boring than the netherlands. at least there's some fucking height variation and there's more to do than consuming damage-inflicting materials like weed and alcohol. in germany you can ski mountain-cycle, drive on many world-class racing tracks, look at the amazing landscapes of frankfurt and munich. it's the best country in europe in my opinion, tied with britain.

  • @MrKra7as weed doesn't "inflict" damage

  • @alleswatikleukvind Teutonic pedantry at its best. I thought the Dutch wanted to differentiate themselves from their - as we all know - ridiculously pedantic neighbours?

  • Amsterdam is bordered by France, Belgium, Luxemburg...

    First off you stupid woman. The country is called The Netherlands. Not Amsterdam ffs! Amsterdam is merely the capital and largest city.

    Second. The country is not bordered by France and Luxemburg. But by Belgium (got 1 country right) and Germany.

  • and don't even let me start about the language. smierig, onbeschadigd, gemeenschappelijk, this is what dutch basically sounds like, as if you're trying to cough a tonsil stone out. and on top of all that they're still so full of shit ( themselves ) and they think they're the best thing in the world where in fact no one would even notice if the whole country sinks to the ground.

    holland is an abbreviation for "shithole-land".

  • @MrKra7as

    While I agree that my language is ugly. So what? Theres a reason we speak other languages rather well in general. Also typing it here is not a great way of getting the sound across.

    Besides that. I don't live in Holland. I live in the province of Noord-Brabant, in the town of Breda.

    Holland is merely a region consisting of 2 provinces of The Netherlands.

    And no Holland, is not an abbreviation of shitehole, as unamisng and unwitty as that is.

  • @thedutchman01

    shut up and stop smarting up on us. we all know the dutch are so stupid they don't even realize what you just said. when I went to a football match in amsterdam everyone was shouting "hup holland hup" and they weren't even referring to the province but to the whole country.

    in short your own people call the netherlands holland so don't correct ME.

  • @MrKra7as

    As my name might have suggested. I am infact dutch myself. So I think atleast some of us understand very well what I am saying. (e.g. myself)

    And yes. Very good to have noticed we are singing 'hup holland' While it is only a part of the country, it is historically, economically, culturally and politically the most important part of our country (especially from a historic pov.)

    It is a nickname we have adopted. But still only a nickname. Like England/UK is the same for many people.

  • @thedutchman01

    ok you seem like a good guy so get out of here and go do what all dutch people do, work all day long and then rot at home watching stupid soap series all night. ok? thanks pay us a visit in east asia to know what beauty is like, you're missing a lot.

  • @MrKra7as

    Oh I like to think of myself as a good guy, thank you.

    But what I did last night was go out and have a few beers with friends of mine downtown. Not watch stupi soaps.

    Furthermore I would like to point out that the dutch workweek is the lowest in western europe (on average). but we are also the most productive during those hours so it evens out.

    I know asia is beatifull. But there are pretty parts in teh Netherlands aswell. I dare you to look up pics of 'de biesbos' a nature reserve.

  • @thedutchman01

    yep, best thing to do in the netherlands is have beer to forget how shitty and miserable your life and country are.

    and I know the dutch don't work as much as the german for example, but my point is that all western europe is the same generally.

    I do have problems, but not nearly as much as the typical dutch person. And I'm not a soldier dumbass, if I was a soldier do you think the ROK would let me mvoe out that easily? lol.

  • @MrKra7as

    Or maybe the reason that I like to drink a few beers with my friends is because it is fun?

    Beyond that, when polls/research is done, the dutch are always in the top 5 of happiest people in the world, so I don't really think our lifes are so miserable.

    Germany works more per week, but they have alot more days off then the dutch, so I think it evens out in the end.

  • @thedutchman01

    happiest people in the world? based on what? what criteria? wealth? safety? maybe the dutch definition of happy is to sit on your ass all day and keep telling yourself how wonderful and interesting your life is.

    want to measure happiness in your country? ask a neutral ! someone who isn't dutch - like me. I lived in holland for 6 months, and have also lived in north korea, south korea, china and usa. and the netherlands was the shittiest out of all.

  • @MrKra7as

    Now okay, this one is a few years back, but the dutch have been in the top 5 eversince.

    /watch?v=wCvsrJ1QF60 just add the youtube link upfront.

    Just because you weren't happy doesnot mean we are not happy.

    Just because you are a rascist prick towards dutch people doesnot mean we care.

  • @MrKra7as Now I am gonna quote from your own profile here as it is on 30-06-2011.

    "I can't tell where I live right now for security reasons" And I think you used to have something about you being an ex-soldier. Could be wrong and I applogize for that.

    Anyway. You still can't say where you live for security reasons. Yet, how stupid are you then to post THAT on YT for the whole world to see? Why even mention it? Then comes how you say you live in Amsterdam.

    Why not say nothing and stay incognito?

  • @MrKra7as u hate holland but holland hates u 2 :) get OUT YOU IMMIGRANT! lol

  • @njirem

    I'm not an immigrant, see this is the dumbfuck mentality I'm talking about. you're all stupid.

  • @MrKra7als je zo zielig doet over nederland, en je woont hier, kanker dan op! komt neer op: immigrant emigreer!

  • the buildings are all old, small and boring. the city itself is so small and crowded you feel you're gonna fall into a ditch any second. the canals are pathetically narrow. the whole country is so small and crowded with useless ugly shit that you can't even move freely or look into the horizon in that place.

    it's not like korea or china where there are huge buildings and enormous open spaces where you feel so free and feel how great the place you're in is. fuck shit-hole-land and europe.

  • @MrKra7as

    Hmm, no huge open spaces? Even in Amsterdam you have the Vondelpark, a huge park by any standards, the museamplein (square) de dam with the national monument, also a rather big square.

    And I will note that Amsterdam is the greenest capital of all of Europe.

    What you call old and ugly, other people might call old and pretty and quaint. So that is your own opinion, and you are entitled to it.

  • @thedutchman01 I TRUELY CALL THE HOUSES IN AMSTERDAM BEAUUUUUUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! You shouldn't have wasted your time on that guy. I mean - he's from North Korea... Who wants to live there? Are you even allowed to have a YT-profile over there? Isn't that like illegal? Don't worry, mr. Thedutchman, you can be REALLY proud of your country and (one of your) capitals.

  • @PGHalmstadSweden

    I know a LOT of eurotrash who wish they could live in asia. just go watch any korean music video on youtube and look at the statistics, all from european countries. you guys wish you were like us lol you even try to look like us

  • @MrKra7as

    I wouldn't wanna live in Asia. I can't stand crowds very well, make me claustrophobic.

    Also. There you go again, claiming that because a few europeans commented on some south-korean music vids, that therefore all must want to live in Asia. That is, as I explained to you before a stupid argument.

    Argumentum ad populis. (example to explain) Just because you can get the majority of people to agree with you that 2+2=5 doesnot mean it is true. Mind neither does it make me right by default

  • @MrKra7as Lol yea, you believe in your dumb ass leader, you do that, btw the story that he was born on a freaking mountain and the soldiers carved his name in a tree?.. is a lie.. infact THE WHOLE NORTH KOREAN COMMUNISM IS A LIE, wake up ignorant fuck

  • @paulll999

    I'm from south korea you dumbass the north korea on my profile is just to make fun of retarded europeans because they're so ignorant and stupid they don't even know north korea doesn't have internet access...

    bitch i fuck your country's women for only 40 dollars in their ass!! fucking country of whores and ugly giants

  • Svara på det här videoklippet... And that silly thing wheather to call the country NL or Holland: Many people say Holland here, but we were taught the correct name in school. And I think I'd dare to say that more people say "England" than "Storbritannien" (GB), and I know that nobody says "Förenade Konungariket" (UK).

  • Svara på det här videoklippet... Oh! Forgot one thing! I actually think Stockholm is greener than Amsterdam, though.

  • what a shithole place in a shithole boring country. the only reason ANYONE would go to the netherlands is to smoke a pot or fuck an ugly dutch whore. that's all there is to this country.

    tell me, dutch people. do you feel proud when the only reason anyone would come to your country is to fuck your women and smoke something? well youre a dumb people so I guess you'd say yes.

  • @MrKra7as

    I am proud of my countries take on drugs, yes. I see it as a much smarter and more succesfull way of dealing with the drug problem. This is enforced by numbers that show our country has some of the lowest counts of drug users in the entire world, e.g. The US, France UK etc all have higher % of drugusers, and those that do use drugs in those countries use more and for longer in comparison.

  • @MrKra7as

    Also..

    Why are all dutch women ugly to you? Theres ugly women here as there are all over the world. Theres also plenty of beautifull ones same as in any other country of the world. And most are average looking, Same as in any other country in the world.

    Now let me ask you?

    Did it hurt much when that dutch -girl/-guy/-whatever turned you down?

    Because of the buttrape you just spewed here I am assuming yes.

  • @thedutchman01

    typical dutch response,"did that girl put you down?"

    in case you didn't notice i'm the hottest asian stud in town, and all the bitches were checking me out in amsterdam. the only hot ones were tourists from asia and america by the way.

    and yes it is true that there are ugly and good looking people in every country, but the ratio is what matters. in my country for example the pretty to ugly ratio is 100:1, in hole-land it's 1:100. the one being a tourist rofl

  • @MrKra7as

    Hmm, wether or not you are pretty or not is not something I can see by your comments. But judging by your remarks and how you are over compensating. I am thinking you have some problems you need to deal with.

    \And I think the ratio of ugly against hot women here is about the same as in any other country on this planet.

    Unless you have done verifiable research into this I am just gonna call you a frikking moronic idiotic rascist in this particular case.

  • @thedutchman01

    shut the fuk up and avoid my wrath. for all it takes is a needle-made hole in any dijk and you're fish food.

  • @MrKra7as

    Feel free to try and puncture a dike. I am not really bothered. I myself live above sea level.

    Also. That is not exactly as easy as it sounds, so I advice you to bring some dynamite or similar kind of explosive material.

    And feel free to bring your wrath while doing so.

  • @MrKra7as

    I would also like to mention that, looking at your YT profile, you don't want the north-korean government to know where you live because you are an ex-soldier of theirs.

    Are you really stupid enough to announce that to the world, and then come here and say you live in Amsterdam?

    Besides the simple fact that anyone who knows enough about comps (which means alot more then me personally as I don't) can find your ip-adress from where you are posting and thus find out where you live?

  • @MrKra7as

    So basically what I am saying is that you are full of complete and utter shite and probably have never been here, so shut up and stay home and wank off, you little turd.

  • @MrKra7as Are you even allowed to have YouTube in North Korea? Isn't that like deeply forbidden ?

  • @PGHalmstadSweden

    I live in the south dumbfuck. and who needs youtube it's a piece of shit website anyways. filled with dumbass european teenagers who watch call of duty gameplay vids all their lives. fuck you and fuck europe.

  • @MrKra7as

    So.. if you hate YT so much. Why bother having it?

    Also. I have already linked a vid in which it is explained the dutch are some of the happiest people in the world, you might wanna check that out. Heck most of the countries in the top 10 are from north western europe.

    Don't call people dumbass for thinking you live in North-Korea when your yt page says so. You are the idiot if you can't pick the proper country or explain. (It's called transference)

  • TOMMROW IM THERE AND IGONNA SMOKE MY LIFE

  • @dogidogi4 same here :) tomorrow and im gonna smoke ma life aswell! =p

  • @dogidogi4 im gonna be there in 3 weeks ahaha could be good

  • @dogidogi4 Fuckennnnnn smoke that shit man.

  • @dogidogi4 I live there <3

  • @alleswatikleukvind ik dacht dat jij amerikaans was, ik heb niet naar jou naam gekeken

  • @alleswatikleukvind No, Amsterdam is a bit North East of the middle of the Netherlands. The Netherlands borders with Belgium and Germany

  • @Arsenal8Life Indeed. The comment of @alleswatikleukvind was merely a snap at the woman in this video, claiming that "Amsterdam borders France, Belgium and Luxemburg". This is of course untrue.

  • Haha, I really like it when people whose native language is English try to pronounce Dutch places and names. :]

  • Amsterdam lies west of Australia ! Yes it is true !
