Living in the Netherlands: What I Got Wrong (and Right) š³š±
A while ago, I made a video about the things that surprised me after moving from South Africa to the Netherlands. Some of those opinions sparked a lot of discussion, especially around Dutch directness, bike culture, King's Day, and the weather. Now that I've lived in the Netherlands longer, I wanted to revisit those first impressions and share what I think today. In this video, I talk about: ā¢ Dutch directness and whether it still feels rude ā¢ Why Dutch bike lanes seemed so intimidating at first ā¢ My updated thoughts on King's Day ā¢ The reality of Dutch weather after living here longer ā¢ Things I misunderstood when I first arrived ā¢ What I've grown to appreciate about Dutch culture ā¢ New surprises that only became obvious over time This video is an honest update from someone who has experienced Dutch life for a little longer. If you're considering moving to the Netherlands, already living here as an expat, or you're just curious about how Dutch culture compares to South African culture, I hope you enjoy it.
