At 20:16 you passed our house. It's not confusing. I always find my house. It's the new part of Borne and it's a very nice neighbourhood.
But now we are retired and we are moving to another part of The Netherlands 🇳🇱, 8000 km away. It's called Curaçao 🇨🇼. Just a little bit warmer 🌞
Grappig om te zien dat er nog iemand uit borne op het ItsCharlieVest kanaal kijkt :) ik woon net buiten borne op een landweg tussen borne en Zenderen (Meester Thienweg) een fijn pensioen alvast in het zonnige Curaçao 😎
Dank voor je levensverhaal
Its forbidden to bike on the sidewalk in the Netherlands. A Japanese friend of mine once said. "I always bike very polite on the sidewalks and everybody keeps looking angry at me". I said nohh you cant do that here😅
The reason why you dont see a bikelane in the beginning of the video is probably because its a 30km zone. Cars are driving slowly, then there is no need for a special bike lane.
We recently moved to the center of Oldenzaal (8 miles from Borne). You really need to do a livestream tour of Oldenzaal. It was recently named the best municipality in the Netherlands. Oldenzaal is at least 1000 years old and received city rights in 1249, with some buildings here older than 700 years!
❤ Hé, I live in this Village too...❤
This Village was winner of the best Village of Overijssel in 2012 award... (I still have the numberplate tekst sticker on my car saying "Borne het mooiste dorp van Overijssel"...
The name is pronounced Born (like in English, being born' and than the last 'E' is spelled as "Uh?" So in one word 'Born - Uh'.
It is a lovely Village in the east of the Netherlands in the province of Overijssel (area name "Twente"), about 25 minutes by car to the german border...
People born (or living from early age) in the area of Twente are called 'Tukkers'... and they have their own Dutch dialect too, called Twents..
I love to live here...
It has all the shops and supermarkets I need in walk distance from my house...
Enough green areas and nature to walk with my little dog.
And enough calm surroundings and nice (big) houses with lot of green gardens, better said I am having a relaxed and nice life.
I work online too, (use to have my own shop *1997-2010, but now selling my fashion and accessory goods online in my webshop since 2010).
I love to work from home since 2010 🏡
Every year in August there is a big 4 days music and art festival (with also a Oldtimer car show, food stands and brocante markets for adults and children).
This festival is called "The Melbuulndagen" (translation in English Melbuuln = Flour sacks / Dagen = Days) This name was because of historical meaning : Diagonally across from the tower of the Old Church of Borne (there are two big cathedral churches in Borne), the factory of the Erven ten Cate used to be located. There, food products for humans and animals were made from grains, such as all kinds of flour. The factory stood here for almost 225 years: from 1744 to 1967. The inhabitants of Borne owe their nickname Melbuuln, flour sacks, to this company.
In the 3th month of each year the Carnaval festival is also there in Borne in a big form. because of the many Catholic Churches in the area. (Twente is known as a Catholic and Protestant mixed area in The Netherlands)
Carnaval also is a big 4 days party in Borne (with 5 large Carnaval Clubs with thousands of members who like to dress up and party in the 4 days of Carnaval).
If you ever visit the Netherlands, as you want already for years, please do visit our lovely Village too, you will like it.
Have nice sunny day,
Greetings,
Roline 🙋🏼♀️🍏 and Zoë 🐕🐾 (Borne NL)
This village is near a village I live called Hengelo, I always cycle through Borne on my way to work in another village called Almelo.
FASCINEREND . . .
Willow trees are very much water connected.. You can easily cut of a branch push in into wet soil or even water and it will start growing roots, E.g you can plant it in a double row , fletch other branches together fill the wall with earth, and it is turn into a willow ground wall great against wind and also sound damperning. Great natural wind break with a environment for wildlife. You can also cut off the top of a willow tree at around 2m.. turning the wilg (willow) into a knotwilg knot willow.. where the top sprouts a ton of new branches.. Repeated knotting results in a short tree with tons of branches.. These branches were harvested to make willow branch baskets, walls and other things with.
They are a great source of aspirin related the painkiller in history.. Salicylic acid, which is in the plant is part of acetyl salicylic acid The willows latin name is Salix where salicylic acid is derived from .
We use (concrete or clay baked) roof tiles mostly because of structural reasons. For example I have a garage behind my house, which is 8 by 4 meters, and I put also roof tiles on there. I know how many I put there, and how much they weigh, on this wooden structure there is 1.5 tons of weight pressing down on the structure, making it actually more storm resilient. It makes both the building, but also the roof itself more storm proof. These concrete or clay baked roof tiles vary from 2 to 4 kilograms each and those are all interlocking. Special tiles with vents are placed to make sure that in case of a storm the sudden low pressure on the other side of the house (these roofs are just like airplane wings) negate the difference in air pressure, thus lowering the chance of the tiles being pushed off. These days also the roof tiles are being anchored as well, which makes these houses very storm resistent. Although I have to be honest I have no idea what would happen if a hurricane or a tornado would pass over them. Especially tornado's, most people's houses are not build for them.
@6:42 you noticed the sound, when you said something is rattling. That’s the brick road. In smaller villages and neighborhoods, you have these bricked streets for mixed use. It has bricks exactly because it’s loud. So people drive slow (usually 30 kmh) and so that people are more aware of the road. It’s not divided but still pretty safe for cycling.
It's kinda funny, around the 20:00 minute mark he cycles near my uncle and aunt's house, never expected to see it on this channel (I myself don't live in Borne but Enschede)
The bit he enters around 18:25 are indeed as suburbian as it gets over here. The first houses seem to be relatively new and they indeed look alike. A general rule of thumb since somewhere around the 1950's (post war) seems to be that we build new neighborhoods by like 1 or 2 streets at the time using the same buildings and that around every 10 years the designs change. In this case the buildings look quite new and you see similar houses until he goes left around 20:00 and then you see that on the left side there are different (older) buildings in the street a little further on and all the ones on the left look somewhat the same.
The remark about the ginormous hill at 23:00 and the far east being less flat.. There are quire a lot of towns in this area (I'm from here too) that end with "bergen" which translates to "mountains". Well, I can tell you.. Most of those "mountains" are not a tenth of the size of the monster seen in this video and pale in comparison to the average speed bump so I always wondered as to how they got to the names myself..
We call a big truck ( Vrachtwagen )
HEMA is pronounced as Hey-Ma
The canals like you see in Utrecht and Amsterdam are because how those cities grew over time. Amsterdam was built around the river and whenever it expanded, they had to manage the water. Some of the older castle cities might have some canals (they also sometimes have a star shaping). We don't really use shingles for residences, but sometimes used for sheds with flat roofs or garage roofs. The rattle could very well be from the wheels hitting the bricks. Another thing you might enjoy is a ride through of our biggest national park "de hoge Veluwe" or another national park "de Biesbosch" by boat.
Werk je bij de vvv ofzo
is dat een vereiste om een beetje over je land te weten tegenwoordig?

6:44 for streets like this in somewhat denser, older neighborhoods especially with a lot of addresses that need street access (like shops), we often design the road as a shared/mixed use space. The pavers and other traffic calming measures promote slow traffic speeds. These choices are very deliberate and they work well. This type of street is generally very safe.
Don't bother with pronouncing vocals in Dutch. But if you do, here is the rule. 1. Divide up the word in syllables (if more than 1 syllable). 2. Establish if the syllable ends open (with a vocal) or closed (with a consonant). 3. If it is open, the vocal gets long. 4. If it is closed, the vocal gets short. 5. If you want to have a short vocal with an open syllable, double the consonants after it. So HE-MA (open syllable, long e, the a is also open, so long a). Her-ma (closed syllable, short e). Pa-tat-ten (Pa is open, long a, -tatten, tt is double consonant, so short second a, and it ends with the very common "schwa" sound (sounds like "uh" and we usually do not pronounce the last "n" in a word if it comes after a "schwa".) Double vocals are always pronounced long.
Patat-ten the e pronounced as the e in butter
6:40 It's based on the speed of the road/street and where it is located as well.
30 km streets tend to not have cycle paths. (within city limits)
50 km streets either have them painted or have a path. (within city limits)
60 km streets don't tend to have them but here they are mainly in the more rural parts. (outside city limits)
70/80 km roads always have a cycle path. (outside city limits)
100/120 km roads don't have cycle paths but also don't allow cyclist at all. (these are highways) (outside city limits)
Willow trees are fast growing. Catch a lot of wind. Can also easily be replaced by new ones
We only aply shingles on the roofs of sheds. not on houses. i am from this town. we have a river here not an canal were you can drive a boat. the town has an erly mention in the books in the cathedral in Utrecht, from 1206. the town is probleby muts older. if you have questions please ask.
In the North and North-East, in the provinces of Friesland and Groningen, you can also finds cities and towns with canals. So not only the west and south of the country.
And yeah that flag was the Frisian flag, probably some frisians who are proud of their roots.
And the shape of the flag was a banner, with kingsday fore example some people like to add an orange banner to their Dutch flag .
Over here we call it a "Vrachtwagen" Which translates to Freight wagon or freight truck ... My daughter is about to move to Borne with her boyfriend, kinda funny to see you post a video of that town on your channel
We call them vrachtwagens in Dutch, and I couldn't respond earlier because I had to get up at 3:00 AM to work. Yes, you got the picture right where I live, I make no secret of it.
In the summer it is more beautiful as the trees are now bare, and in the summer there are also more people out and about, festivals, and many other things. I don't regret coming to live here, but it's a bit of a drama during carnival because it concerns that street and I really hate it. Unlike the USA, I can do everything on foot since I live in the center, and I only need the car for commuting and when I go to visit family or friends. And that's how it works in many cities and villages here in the Netherlands, very easy and no problem with parking, But thanks for watching Charlie! 😉
that are vrachtwagens
So happy to live near the coast, dunes, forest..
I live in Heemstede near Zandvoort..
Wij hebben hier ook mega veel bossen hoor alleen geen duinen. Maar ff een dik uur in de auto en staan wij ook tussen de duinen.😉
How was your bread you made yesterday Charlie? Nice video. That bike needs a screwdriver on few screws on behind fender 😁 Love your comment !! No excuses Charlie 😉
Thought there was a screw loose somewhere in there.
He-Ma consists of two syllables. Because the first syllable is open (not locked up by a consonant), you don't need double ee . It is pronounced the same as double ee. a short e, is never pronounced like you say. A short e is comparable to the e in the English word "let's".
Maybe it would be fun to visit the town of Giethoorn!
The Netherlands has many villages that are located on one or more canals! There is also a lot of water in Friesland where I live, the Netherlands is a flat but beautiful country 😍
Het enige wat ontbreekt zijn Nederlanders maar asielzoekers en vluchtelingen des te meer
Thnx for the update charlie, as a dutchie from eindhoven I always thougt that Born was laying in Limburg 😊
born limburg
@stephandagelet5545 It is. My mum was born in Born, Lumburg...That looks weird.
Some place names are used a few times in variants.
The hills are in that same Limburg, Charlie.
Born is inderdaad Limburg, maar dit dorp is Borne
A truck in Dutch is a vrachtwagen. A car that carry's al lot of weight. In Germany you call it a LKW last craft wagen. And Hema is spoken wit a Hema. We do nog write two ee because after a e and
a Vowel but after that is a consonant. If a Vowel is followed with two consoneny then you have a short sound.
nice video again, thank you
Even if there isn't a cycle path you are still allowed to cycle in urban areas. You are not allowed to cycle on highways or busy shopping streets, but other than that pretty much anywhere.
Thoughts on canals; there are different things all called canal in English. The thing all canals have in common is that they are man made.
1) there are the long haul transportation canals we call vaart or kanaal. Think also Erie canal over there.
2) there are the defensive canals around a town, a castle or a fort. I think Moat would be an English equivalent I think. We usually call them gracht and more specific, stadsgracht for a city moat or slotgracht for a castle moat. They are usually just outside the city or castle wall.
3) then there are the inner city canals. they are former defensive canals left behind when a city grew far enough beyond its walls to require a new wall and a new moat. They were often repurposed of in city goods transportation.
4) the last I want to mention are the canals intended to transport excesses of (high) water away. We call them afwateringskanaal which translates to drainage canal.
Going back to the defensive canal. A vest or veste is a stronghold or a city wall and may have a moat. A vest (so without the final e) can also be a sleeveless upper body garment just like it is in English.
Indiana is located at the same altitude as Portugal, Southern Europe. The Netherlands is at the same altitude as NewFoundland (Canada), but the entire climate is a lot warmer than there in Canada. In terms of temperature it is comparable to Indiana, although it can sometimes get a lot colder in Indiana than in The Nederlands.
It's absolutely great to see an american guy beeing amazed about our country ❤ keep going! 🎉
You do it great Charly.
1) That's near my home town of Enschede.
2) Tilburg is a city at the South-West side of The Netherlands, near the border with Belgium. Limburg is a province in the south-East, between Belgium and Germany.
3) Videos with a POV are better watch in fullscreen. Then it looks like you are driving that train or riding that bicycle.
4) At 07:11 there is the reason why there is no cycle path. It's a 30 km zone, where cars and cyclist are on the same paved street. A paved street is also an indicator that it is not a through road. 30 km = 20 miles.
5) That white bicycle, with the crate on the front rack, is a heavy bicycle.
6) Hema is pronounced as hayma
Borne is the village next over to where I live.
If you ever want a livestream tour of a city or village, that can be arranged, Charlie!
My brother happens to be one of the architects of those lookalike houses. He’s not a fan either, it’s the project developer that picks one design to build many houses, because it’s a cheap solution - instead of paying for several different blueprints. He has many very cool designs though… but there’s this stupid trend in The Netherlands that most people want a house in 1930’s style so many newbuilds look similar.
On pronunciation of vowels in Dutch. Most vowels in dutch hae e long and a short sound. There are two ways to indicate what sound is implied.
1) For vowels in the last syllable of the word there is the obvious rule of a doubled vowel is the long form and a single vowel is the short form.
2) For earlier sylables in a word there are different rules; they are usually single vowels but the amount of consonants behind them indicates if they are the short or the log form. when there is only one consonant behind it is the long form and when there are more consonants it is the short form.
3) the 'e' is a bit of a problem child as it is also used for the toneles vowel aka schwa. (somewhat like the 'e' in 'taken' in English)
Then there are the two letter vowels which are a single sound ad not a dipthong, the eu, ei/ij, au/ou and ui. They have only one form and when followed by a consonant it will be a single one.
As this is Dutch, all of these are expected to have exceptions.
3:53 not only West, mostly in cities connected to waterways, Borneh ( as pronounced-ish) is a village
I live in Zwijndrecht, and our neighbour put a palm in a hole in the pavement, damn thing is surviving for years now and in the way of parking 😂😂
63:26 My brother lives in Borne. The other day he mentioned that in the 1960s/70s the town council had plans to bulldoze the old town centre, for modern, car focused new built. One man organized protests and the old town was mostly kept as it was....
Willow tree do grow on wet soil indeed..
18:45 Once I brought a drunk guy, who couldn't walk straight anymore, to his home on New Year's Night 7AM... At his door he couldn;t get his key in the door and there would be people livin'.
We were at the right door nr. but at the wrong block in the wrong street ! 🤣🍻🎇
Most big houses here will be semi-detached with a garage, btw. ('2 under 1 roof') . And the water is a natural creek . That 'hill' is probably 'made' , although in this part of country there are some hills (70-100m height).
He is cycling through some pedestrian areas which is not allowed lol, unless there is an exeption after a certain time of day, but i didn’t see any sign of that. It’s a very common thing though, almost every day i see people ignore those signs.
Nice video anyway, gives you a good impression of the atmosphere of a typical village in the Netherlands.
And no, cycling on the sidewalk is not permitted here, it’s only for pedestrians, cars have to share most roads without a bikepath.
The rattling goes away on smooth asphalt, do i guess it’s his bike chain cover or something like that, or perhaps another part of his bike.
Borne is a village. It's more then 400 years old. Also it's pronounced Borne and the last e is pronounced as you pronounce the e in Veste 21:58. You're not allowed to cyclical on the sidewalk. Although some people do.06:49. The curch is called de Oude kerk (the Old Church) 9:44. The area form 10:36 till 11:39 you not always allowed to cyclical there. And it is Heemaa. (Don't make me explain how this grammar works in English). It's the same Albert Heijn. 13:56 same church. Although Borne has more churches. Not all in used though. 14:52 That tropical plant is part of the decoration of a restaurant called De Mexicaan (The Mexican) and yes they make Mexican food. At 15:20 you enter oud Borne (old Borne) and it's the most historical area of Borne. And is build during the industrial revolution because of textile industry in Twente. 18:13 the most recent part of Borne. And And we differentiate our houses from each other by house numbers and how the garden and interior of the house. Yeah they are build at the same time. It's common now that small or big areas build at the same time look the same. It's more like a house development project. And sometimes if you purchase a lap of ground you can design your own house on it. The frieze flag is more often seen outside Frieslan. They are a proud bunch of people and like to show that. 21:03 In the house lives one family. Variations of mostly 2 or more people. 21:31 the water is a stream that is called de Bornse Beek(the Bornse Stream).
Cannals in cities are for business in the old days. When transport by water was a fast way to do it. Deventer and Zwolle has cannals to.
I hope you like the little information about Borne. And make more sense of the silent virtual tour of Borne.
Also I hope I make sense with the timestamps. It's a little bit early.
My home town .Coffee Charly ..the old part.of the town .I know all these places.
It's not allowed to cycle on the sidewalk, the streets he is on around the 7:30 mark are just shared streets. Plus the streets are made for low speed which you can tell by the brick pavement, narrow streets and the speedbumps. Plus we are used to share the road with cyclist. Im not even sure if he is allowed to cycle in all the areas he's filming in (where all the shops are).
The rattling is probably his chain hitting his chainguard. Needs to tension it a little.
greatings from Haaksbergen. close to Borne...
We call them camion or vrachtwagen
Mostly the bigger houses are divided in two but not in floors but left/right. They will have two front doors.
No, on the sidewalk is not allowed. The red brick road indicates that it is a slower road, and cars have to drive slow.
I went to high-school in Borne in the sixties, but I don't recognize Borne anymore. They kicked me off the school in Hengelo (a town 5 km from Borne), but Borne could use a few more pupils.
The weirdly shaped flag is a pennant. it can be flown on its own or above a flag. I it also not subject to flag rules (which we dont't have, they are more like a guideline)
On royal occasions like royal family birthdays and kings-day we usually fly an orange pennant above the Dutch flag.
There are also pennants in flag colors which are usually flown 24/7
In the Netherlands, bikers are "protected" so people anticipate on that in traffic. In Small towns like Borne you see brick roads more often, it takes the speed out so people are safer. In the street where you missed the bikers road, there is simply not enough room for it. Car drivers in the Netherlands are less demanding that the road belongs to them. 😊
Living myself in this erea it is totally different than the west of the Netherlands. We don't have trams and metro's because most cities aren't that big. Many are between 20.000 - 40.000 inhabitants, than a whole bunch of small towns. Above 50.000 are by example Enschede, Hengelo, Almelo. There are bicycle-routes enough but more outside the cities. That doesn't mean in the centrums it would be bad for cyclists they have the same safety rules as everywhere in the Netherlands. The car is more needed I would say, we can't jump on a tram or metro system or even trains so there are busses. The connections are quite good, but because of the cars many bus-lines and busstops have been cut the last 20 years. But it looks that it has turned around again, especially for the old and invalid people it is a blessing. I train in the weekends on my race bicycle, within 20 minutes I cross the German border.
The canals (grachten) are to be found only in cities older then at least 700 years. Most of them in the western part of the country.
Borne is just a small village in the country.
In the netherlands we make a difference between 'grachten' and 'kanalen'. Must be a bit confusing i guess
Oh wauw, this is the city my grandparents lived most of their life (and supported the community with their 3 (!!) printing companies in nearby cities, including Tubbergen and Hengelo). I still come there from time to time (Borne), sometimes for the A-C Tion, sometimes just to wander the small roads in Oud-Borne.
//
03:21 Oh my f*** god. That's where my grandmother lived after my grandfather passed away (in 1992) from 1993 until 2018, a year before she passed away (age 94). Holy smokes.
Again , Dude I like it that you like my country and admit it so publicly
I think the Netherlands is like half way Canada, but we have a sea climate instead of land climate. So tempertures are moderate.
Yes.. I live wherevthere are canals and near the beach.. My yard has a dock on a canal.. I cycle to the beach 👌🏖️, lots of canals everywhere.
everywhere..
Love it here (Heemstede)
You should check out a virtual tour of some sort of my town, Den Helder. It's where our navy is based, but it also has the tallest cast-iron lighthouse in Europe, as well as our harbour being commissioned by Napoleon in like late 18th, early 19th century, which now serves practically unchanged - aside from modernisation - as our entertainment district. So you can have dinner or watch a movie in a harbour warehouse that's almost as old as the USA, lol.
5:00 latitude is not really close to Indiana, Fort Wayne, Indiana is on lat. 41°N whereas Borne, Netherlands is 52.3°N.
It's more like between Calgary, Canada (51°N) and Edmonton, Canada (53.5°N). A difference of about 900miles more north than you thought.
But the weather is way more friendly in the winter, because of the warm Gulf Stream and no such cold draft from the Arctic.
Almost all roads in the Netherlands can be seen on Street View.
Try and find above-ground power poles that connect to houses.
Try and find cops at any border crossing.
1. Don't drive on the sidewalk! 2. Rooftiles are made of double fired clay called dakpannen. They last for a lifetime and it's a science in itself to produce and install th-cam.com/video/eWABBjphfqA/w-d-xo.html 3. The Dutch, in small towns and villages go out every day to buy bread, meat and vetetables at their local shops, not at the supermarket. The owners of the shops are often family or friends. 4. No panels. We use bricks for construction. 5. It's called Lidl, just like you pronounce "little".
Those larger new houses most probably were what we call two-under-one-roof, or what you would say: duplex houses. Two next to another, in the Netherlands a duplex would be one up, one down.
Once i was riding a bike in city called Teal in Nederlands and accidently ended up in Germany, had a beer and went back..
7:00 biking on the sidewalk isn't allowed. Also most of the time there is no designated bike path in 30 kph zones. But like roads with a higher speed like 50 and 80 kph would have a designated bike path, because it's not allowed to bike on such roads.
I just looked it up. For comparison i chose Bremen in northern Indiana. Compared with that Borne is not 100 mls up north, it is exactly 1111 km more to the north, that might be somthing like 700 mls, and the whole northern Europe is far more north that American or Canadian Cities, in this case exact 10 degrees of latitude. But much warmer than the same latitude in your continent because of the Gulf Stream. So , about the same climate , but at 10 degrees of latitude more north here. And in the summer the sunset is as late as 10pm and the dawn itself lasts very long as well, about an hour then ,so that it's not fully dark till 11pm. And opposite in winter. Dark til 9 am and dark again at 4.30 pm already.
Hey Charly, the different use of bricks is to let people (drivers) know in what sort of area they are. The rattle makes everyone drive more slowely. And afcourse we have a law that the car driver is always wrong in an accident.
Twente
gr from Hengelo
Noaber!
groet'n terug 🤣
A 'Veste' or 'Vesting' is a Dutch word for a stronghold or fortress. Vest is a word for a short jacket/coat.
im from slovenia and we have same bikes, what i know almost every country in eu has same bikes and cars
Not the same amount of bikes as we have though, do you have the same infrastructure? Bikeways?
Charlie you saw the bike path in the town centre melting to one with the road and that is when the cars need to lower there speed to 30 km/h wich is more or less the speed of bikes.👍😉🌷🇳🇱
When I look out of my window I can almost see Borne.
Als ik uit mijn raam kijk zie ik asielzoekers
Personally I love northern part of netherlands, and also Limburg (southern part near Belgium and Germany). Please comment on Belgian walking (e.g. les randonnées de papylou) and driving videos (brussels, bruges, ardennes,.. ). And videos about Moresnet, Drielandenpunt, Vennbahn.
The Netherlands is at least 900 miles north of Indiana. Madrid, Spain, is on the same latitude as New York. We are more at the same latitude as Newfoundland!
Indeed Borne (~52.290°N) is about 1400 km = 866 miles North of Indianapolis.
Right! Between Calgary and Edmonton - way into Canada ;-)
Yeah, It's because of the gulf stream that we have a milder climate then the same lattitute in the US
@@margreetanceaux3906 Heh, I also went for Edmonton in the other video. Also mentioned Spain in that remark. I'll go one further and place the north of Indiana near Madrid. The 100 miles north does not even leave Spain.
@@jfw413 It was only bc of people from Texas & California, now living in Rotterdam, complaining about our very long december nights and equally long summer days. Then I checked our latitude on Google Earth, and turned to North America. Surprised me!
On the streets with no bicycle paths the speed limit is 30km/h, bikes on the road help calm traffic in those situations.
As for a universe from nothing, no atheist that I'm aware of ever made that claim. Even Lawrence Krauss who wrote 'A universe from nothing' always ends up defining "nothing" as something.
Canals are everywhere in NL. I live in the east and we have canals.
They were build to get all goods through the whole country by canals/waterways:)
Also the prices of a Dutch bike is still rising.
Also yes, that was a tropical plant. Palms and even banana trees can survive here.
Also I agree with you, the modern architecture to let all new houses look like COPY+PASTE is horrible.
indiana heeft een landklimaat. Nederland heeft een zeeklimaat. Dat wil zeggen dat er een koude golfstroom van het poolgebied naar beneden stroom langs de kust van Amerika tot het Caribische gebied. Waar het ombuigt en de Atlantische oversteekt en weer naar boven gaat. Langs Engeland en Nederland. Dat houd in dat de zomers minder heet zijn en winters minder koud omdat het water van de zee warmer is.
No, bikes ride on the street. Cars have to wait!
But I think that if you come over, you will walk in the beginning just to take it all in by yourself
The latitude of Borne is above Galgary, Canada, which is, I guess a bit higher than a hunderd miles above where you live.
Inside Dutch villages, bicycles ride on the road with cars. It force the cars to slow down and be more social too, wich most are because Dutch are grown up with bicycles.
17:47 that's not a highway, it's maybe max 80kmph/50mph or 60kmph/37mph
Het is 80kmph op die weg, ik woon daar 5 min vandaan.
In Friesland we also have allot of canals. Leeuwarden, Dokkum, Franeker en Harlingen and more.
When do you go visit the Netherlands
This is quite a nice village. I will have to check out how far it is from where I live in Germany. Those houses you thought all looked the same and might be apartment buildings actually look very much like houses in England (where I’m originally from).
BTW: I fully agree with you with regards to religion. I’m also agnostic and feel that there is some kind of creative power in the universe, but it doesn’t have much to do with the God in the Bible.
13:00 you are correct they mostly grow near water.
Its called hema and means, Hier eet men afval. ( Here people eat garbage) its meant as a little jab due to the amounts of rookworsten en tompouchen that are being consumed on a yearly base a little dutch joke. Its pronounced the short way not like he-man without a n 👍🏻 Hey-ma
Hollandsche Eenheidsprijs Maatschappij Amsterdam (HEMA)
4:30 Amsterdam is at about the same latitude as Fort Albany in Canada.
We call trucks vrachtwagen, direct translation cargotruck.
So cargotruckdrivers
Cool that is next to my city (Hengelo) Overijssel 😄
🚛 It's called (vrachtwagen) cargotruck.
A veste is an old name for defensive works to protect a city
Mogge, your comments are fun and interesting to see how you see our country. But why are you showing us a video of approximately the most boring place in the Netherlands? 😂
Limburg and like Nijmegen and Arhnem all East have hills. west and southwest do have the Canals and rivers. and in most centers there is a speed limit. like 30 km PH. Borne is nice but a lot of Dutch cities are like that. Try *Naarden* , thats a old *fortress city*
The latitude isn't the only factor in the local climate, airstreams make a really big difference. There are some good TH-cam videos about it.
We have canals everywhere. Even in Germany. Not only in the west
Hema is pronounced as Hayma
would you like a video like this with narration? maybe i can make one on Dordrecht.
I'm living less then 20 km from Borne! Nice village.
I live in the North East and it's also filled with canals, though there are way less than it used to be. The total length of the canals in the peat colonies and bogs in this area in total used to be longer than the great wall of China... But still there's a lot of them.
I'll do a bike ride through the Pekelas (Oude Pekels, Nieuwe Pekela and Boven Pekela) along the canal (or 'diep' as we call them here) as soon as the weather gets any better. Because it will be a 30 km ride. I'll keep you informed.
pedestrians and cyclists are protected so when in an accident the car driver is always in the wrong. Almost no exceptions. In the center of villages are mostly no cycling paths. And because there isn't enough room to make a road/cycling path/sidewalk.
We have tons of those streets in Europe, and the reason would be is that it doesn’t break for centuries (theoretically), but they always get dug up for new cables, broken or things u just exchange every x years, so I don’t c the real reason for it, since it’s way more expensive. Of course around century old buildings and stuff, but reg streets in villages??
