In which John celebrates an awesome week in the Netherlands while extolling the virtues of bitterballs, Dutch schools, and Amsterdam's public transport. He also butchers some Dutch words, because that's one of his things. Thanks to all the nerdfighters who made the Amsterdam gathering so amazing!

I love the jump that those people do. :)

That looks like fairy bread but with chocolate sprinkles!

Fairy bread is rainbow sprinkles. =]

So funny to see this. I'm Dutch, but I have no idea what John tried to say when he was reading Dutch. And yes, Hackenslacken and bitterballs are the most delicious things on earth.

My dad was born and raised in Amsterdam, and so on the counter upstairs right not, although I can't spell it's actual name, resides the largest box of Dutch chocolate sprinkles I have ever laid eyes on.

I hear ya. I have lived in The Netherlands for all my life and I only discovered about nerdfighteria and the fact he lived here long after he was gone. It's not easy being a fan.
