This was posted on my birthday. XD Even though it was 4 years ago, it made me laugh and feel like I'd been inadvertently gifted :P Thank you John Green!
So I think my favorite part of the Holland videos is the laughter of the Yeti while she (presumably) films John doing a myriad of idiotic looking things :)
Is the picture that you took at 0:55 the author picture for Paper Towns? I spent, like, all day marveling over the prettiness of the cover when I first got the book.
Hey, that looks like the picture on the underside of the cover of Paper Towns! You can look at the picture, and then watch the video to see the picture in video form! lol
Bitterballen will rule the world (just for information it happens to be a strange dutch habbit to pack things in breadcrumbles and fry it; we do it with meat, cheese, nasi aka chinese food and more... yay for fried snacks)
Isn't Amsterdam amazing? I am fascinated by it everytime I go into town (I live just south of Amsterdam). And the sign! My sister wanted to sit on it, but I said she probably wasn't allowed to, but apparently you are, or maybe you got special permission. I don't know ;) I bet you didn't have time to go to the Rijksmuseum, but if you ever get the chance, it's beautiful. As is the rest of Amsterdam.
best thing...ever (besides Harry Potter). I really have to go to the netherlands ( being half dutch and all and have a longish weirdish dutch last name that means build house). yes i must go there. it looks awsome and i want those floor tiles
awesome happy dancing. like you (hank/john i forgot) said john is mostly legs happy dance and hank is mostly hands happy dance. and nice bell thingy!!! and awesome woman happy dancing.
Yes! This vid was made on my birthday! I've seen all the videos, but I joined YouTube, like, two days ago so I just want to thank you guys for all the awesome Nerdfighter-ness!
Man! I was in Amsterdam honestly like, 2 weeks after this, I saw the Iamsterdam sign and everything. And I stayed in a hotel in Rotterdam! Rotterdam sucks hardcore. It's like the Syracuse, New York of the Netherlands or something.
I have to protest: It is not true that every german wears camouflage pants. Of course some do, but thats not the majority. I don't even on such pants. if you want to define german tourists look for drunk guys that wear adidas sandals. Which actually I don't own, too. Maybe its not a complete definition for germans, but still better than the camouflage pants. And i have to say your vlog is made of so much awesomeness it is alsmost to much. I love it.
Totally agree with you about the adidas sandals!! great comment!!!but what about the female german tourists?? they don't usually wear adidas sandals?!
Agreed with "clarkesparkle", If you were to get arrested doing your Happy Dance, all nerd fighters would have to unite and throw balls of awesome (silly string compacted together) at the police..
