Nice! My hometown. Lived there till 2016. Now based in Utrecht. Not a good weather day it seems. Maybe visit again with summer weather. At the Spuiplein above the terraces you might have spotted the large billboard wide photo banners. Most of them are from my hand. Nice and unexpected to see Bresjes(in dialect) in your videos! If you might get there again but by car, you can drive over the Panoramaweg(road). A road where you drive at the seaside, Westerschelde side itself just outside Breskens.

It's funy to se you people in Bergen op Zoom. I don't live that far away from it and i know all the places you visited including the Turkish Doner place. I used to eat during my brake miday back in the days when i worked in Bergen op Zoom.

Bah.... frietsaus..... I prefer mayonnaise.

CUrry and Mayo or Satesauce and Mayo both with onions on top are pretty normal to order. The first is a Frietje Speciaal and the second a Frietje oorlog.

De Schelde the arms of the sea

Oo nice kat 😂😂😂

Huh! So surprised you came here! :D

De Spuishuis you were asking for stood infront of you when you walk to De Gevangenepoort you even pass it. It was on the point where De Noord and De Zuid Zijde Haven split, it was in the middle of it. Nice tour. Thank you for your visit here. Houdoe !

Friese droge worst is smoked, Groninger worst is met kruidnagel

The Liquor you had was "oude jenever" It has not realy aged like whisky, the color comes from spices.

You probably went to Bakkerij Groffen because you heared about the nick name of the Groffen Koeken. We call them "Platte tieten", flat titties.

you made a great choice this is my home town if id knew you would go there id givven you some tips cus there are loads of hidden gems in bergen op zoom

In my opinion Oorlog needs curry too, so peanut sauce, curry ketchup, frites sauce and onions.

If you come back and (promise not to film me 😉), I'll show you around. Know the good places to eat, to see (last day you should go flower picking in a pluktuin), go to Van Kessel or Vereecken for the best cherries (and liquors), go to boerderijwinkels (farmer shops), Heerenhoeve for ice cream, vla, yoghurt and tapped milk (pasteurized). Go to Ghent for the best vegan and vegetarian food and if you come in the thirth week of july for the Gentse Feesten, go to Philippine (mussle capital of the Netherlands) and go to het verdronken land van Saeftinge. ☺️

So happy to see you visit a forgotten part of the Netherlands. There is so much to do (though it's better to have a car available). Many Dutch call it an island (even though it's fully attached to Belgium) or don't even know it's Dutch. 😕 About the German mistake. In Zeeland the majority of the tourists are German (in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen combined with Flemish), so often they start with German. When you are on the observation desk, behind you you see apartments. Even though Zeeuws-Vlaanderen usually has lower housing prices (the toll tunnel, the location and in comparison to other places, little high paying jobs), but the coast is very expensive with million euro apartments. A few weeks ago in Cadzand (a little more to the south) a holiday home was sold (so you can't stay there permanent) for 8 million euro.

De 1e hit van de Nederlandse band Bløf heet "Aan de kust" en heeft de tekst: "hier aan de kust, de Zeeuwse kust, waar eenieder onbewust in het Duits wordt aangesproken". Misschien kunnen jullie een video maken waarin jullie de canon van Nederlandstalige popmuziek beluisteren?

I like to eat haring met uitjes on my uitjes. #uitjes :D

You were so close by Mc Donalds did you not mis it to go there ?

you mist some more thinks in Bergen op Zoom the defence around just look up the Mozes brug on internet

I love uitjes met frikandel

As a Dutch the truffelmayo is getting out of hand. 😂

@buncharted: "str[andhuis]", not "shtr"... :P

Hey you guys talked about Perfetti Van Melle. They got a large factory in my hometown (Breda) and my parents used to have a summer job there back in the 80's lol

Did you say you want to explore it again "on not a bike?" Isn't it a good biking town? I thought every Dutch town was good for bikes.

Everyone gets addressed in German in certain areas of the Netherlands. If they have a high percentage of German tourists, the probability of you being German is just high.

I love Greggs ❤ cheap and nice

Zeeuws Vlaanderen! This is my home area haha, There is lots more cool places to see like Sluis / Hulst / Terneuzen etc in this area, i'm personally from near the Philipinne / Braakman area with some nature & woods stuff and lots of farm fields hehe. The ferry to Vlissingen used to be a bigger different one to also transport cars before the Tunnel was created under the Westerchelde. All in all cool video and crazy to see American vloggers in spots i visit very often haha

Nice vlog, I live in Zeeuws Vlaanderen, near Terneuzen, Vlissingen is what we call "de overkant" 😁

Being talked to in german? We have the new zeeuwsch volkslied ("Hier aan de kust" by BLØF), it's about Zeeland. One of the lines is "waar je in het Duits wordt aangesproken" ("Where you are being spoken to in German") which is what happened to you. It's so common to see Germans on holliday that at some times of the year (hint, German holliday seasons) easier to just start talking German as it's the lingua franca at that point.

That's so nice! I used to live in Breskens for a couple of years when I was young, around the age of 6-7. We're talking mid-'60s. We used to live just behind the dunes, near the old ferry ramp. In a newly built park with all low bungalows. In hindsight, a great time. My parents knew that living in Breskens was only temporary. 2 yrs or so. My mother kept me away from school and home-schooled me. Every morning, we started with the school chores and then we went to the beach. In my memory, every single day. No matter the weather. Once back home and after dinner, I had to learn to read. I remember the old municipal swimming pool next to the Marina. A saltwater pool. I learned to swim there. Nobody wondered why a little boy was having swimming lessons instead of being in school! I remember going with my dad on the ferry to Vlissingen on stormy Saturdays. Just for the big waves. I guess that my love for sailing started there! And I remember making a 'lampion' (a lamp that you carry) around St. Maarten (± Halloween time) out of a sugar beet! With a small candle inside. Not only did it look great, it also smelled like caramel! Those sugar beets were all over the roads when the big machines harvested them to get them to the sugar factory. After 2 years, when we returned to the town where we originally came from, I went back to an ordinary school. No one ever noticed that I was home-schooled. Not bad for someone who was not a teacher by profession! Nowadays, keeping your kid away from school brings you in front of a judge and you leave with a hefty fine! Thanks for posting this video. It brings back very happy memories!

Omg! You guys were so close to my home. If I had known it, I would have invited you and showed you around!

Also very funny i am from Belgium i speak same language and my boyfriend also and ever time they speak Netherlands to me and to my boyfriend in English 🤣 so i get the menu in Netherlands and his English 🤣

first time a saw you with the moustache and hearstyle i thoughtb you were french

Sounds like that server had a lot of trouble understanding and switching you two are a whole different deal. Doing your very best speaking Dutch and still get spoken to in German, ridiculous!

You know these types of videos's are really fun and it's because they are a little bit more chaotic and unorganized than your regular ones.

It started with the legendary words; “ Ich bin ein Berliner”. Ever since then, all Americans are considered Germans.

tittie tuesday?🤣

Lighthouse = vuurtoren in Dutch language

A very sweet little video. Beagles, discarded Christmas trees, Michelle getting ready, and Sashimi preparing for her first on-screen attack. Good times.

I knew one of the sons of the van Melle family. They are still very bummed out that the company was sold before the huge success of Mentos...He did tell me that he hates sweets because they had to try out every new thing and all the faulty candies were taken home every day.

A lot has changed from the 60s to today. In the '60s we had real seasons but now, from what my family tells me, "Jeetje, het weer is KU...uh....bad"(a dirty word they still use 'till today and I don't like it) In regards to the chickens running around, that reminds me of Key West where they also just run in the wild.

Daar heb ik gewerkt Zeeland Breskens. Kermis. En ik kom uit Den Helder ❤

0:04 De Westerschelde.

If you are in Zeeland you have to visit the Watersnoodmuseum. It will leave a lasting impression.

3:40 In some of those places along the Dutch coast (esp. in Zeeland and the Wadden islands) they just assume anyone is German, especially if you're clearly a tourist 😅And they have their main focus at German tourists, like restaurants with their menus mainly in German etc.

This is fun to watch, because this is where I do all my groceries 😊. I live in Groede, which is about 5 km away. And in summer 80% of the people you see here are indeed Germans, it's absolutely insane. And I've had to wait for chickens to cross the road there haha, always makes me smile when I see them walking around completely unbothered by anything.

Next time you are mistaken for German, have Michelle say Straaaandhouse. There is no way anyone would think you are anything but American after that. :)

Yes I remember van Melle Fruitella, fruity flavoured toffee candy, from the sixties and on.❤

3:42 ah no, that's just Zeeland being Zeeland. Even I get addressed in German whenever I visit Zeeuwse steden. And I'm as Dutch as they come. You can even order in Dutch but you'll get the bill in German.

Hmm, je zou best Duits kunnen zijn Alex. Ik zou dan denken dat je Helmut heet.😜 Michelle heeft wel echt een Amerikaanse kop. Je moet gewoon zoveel mogelijk stug nederlands blijven lullen. Hoe vloeiender je wordt hoe minder vaak mensen engels tegen je gaan praten. Het gebeurt me heel af en toe nog wel eens dat mensen engels tegen me praten maar ik reageer dan gewoon op een botte manier en maak ze zo duidelijk dat ze geen engels met me moeten praten.
