It's so sad that the world thinks so poorly of us Americans. I'm going to go eat a hamburger now...
+yayrwe umm....Lions and elephants are not sentient beings. and many humans are...including myself.
+yayrwe Okay sure...Now this thread has become a waste of my time. You are correct...I don't care what you think.
Can I get fries with that, please?
Don't feel bad it's just stereotypes ;)
I'm kinda Dutch but I didn't like how they talked about you guys
The Brit lady thinks Americans are snobs. I thought the Brits had that category tied up.
@Moe Snert One State doesn't represent us at all. Idiot 😒
Jack Bailey tbh I think everyone in their own way are snobs so nobody should blame it on the country blame the person or the household they grew up in
Well. You thought wrong.
@@shyryTsr2k But not all Brits are as well.
they did, until Americans wrestled the snob title away from them.
I only visited the Netherlands on a layover but I was blown away by the kindness and funniness from the Dutch people I’ve met. Definitely didn’t experience this in many other European countries
As an Irish person, I can confirm the Dutch are absolute legends.
That is probably also because Dutch people understand you perfectly and they speak English very well themselves. You will experience this less in other European countries. The Netherlands is next to the UK the best in the English language.
There are more things than Amsterdam. Visit the south. Of noord brabant. s-Hertogenbosch. Breda. Of limburg maastricht Landgraaf etc
i visited bonaire which is a small carribean island that is owned by the netherlands and the dutch people there were so amazingly kind and friendly
The Irish are like this too. The moment they would hear my accent, their eyes would light up and they had the best stories. They are super laid back and down to earth.
“What do the dutch people think about americans” *shows 50% non-dutch people*
How do you know? Just cause they got a different accent? That's just weird reasoning.
369 no it’s 100% true. Many tourists. It’s clear who is Dutch and who is not.
@@marmitaa8619 it depends on the dutch people they want, do they want people to moved the netherlands or people that were born there ? The dutch have a very distinct accent and imo its safe to assume if someone is dutch based on their accent.
@@salted2096 Technically you guys are correct, practically not. If you deem people Dutch because they have a Dutch passport, you are wrong since there are alot that don't have the Dutch ethnicity thus, they don't have that accent the Dutch ethnicity has. If you are strictly talking about people with Dutch ethnicity, then yes most people have that accent. The second woman has Dutch - New Zealand accent, does that mean she is a tourist or would you classify her as a Dutch expat? To me it's very weird reasoning.
@@marmitaa8619 I agree that its very weird reasoning and I dont agree with it myself I was just trying to explain the other guys perspective
If you want to know the opinion of the Dutch do not go to Amsterdam. Amsterdam doesn't represent The Netherlands like New York doesn't represent the USA.
lol what do you mean new york doesnt represent USA
@@matthewdubovik7350 Gun laws for one. Abortion up to 9 months is another. The confusion about what bathroom or what pronounce to use. Don't get me wrong. I did meet a lot of nice New Yorkers but like Crocodile Dundee explained it's basically one big mental institution.

@@matthewdubovik7350 That's what you think. Like Amsterdam doesn't represent The Netherlands New Yorks doesn't represent the USA.
"americans believe everything in the internet and social media"..... "where did u get these stereotypes?" "social media and the internet"
LOL 😂
You assumed that OP is American because, in your view, his comment was retarded. Your own comment makes it very clear that you wholeheartedly believe in that specific stereotype of American people. Congratulations, you played yourself.
Did I step on your soft and big American toes and did you get an ouwie? Go pledge allegiance to a flag or chant USA somewhere else. Honestly I dont believe the stereotype and it's obvious that the OP is an American. So wipe your tears and vote a decent human being into office.
Why is it obvious that OP is an American, and why do you think I'm an American as well? Americans have good reasons to be proud of their country. A lot of people all over the world want to become an American citizen. Trump has done great things this year. I'm glad Hillary 'because I'm a woman' Clinton lost the election. Sounds like you're the one who's still in tears because of that. EDIT: Oh, and by the way. You 'honestly' don't believe in the stereotype, but you DO believe Americans are generally incapable of choosing a 'decent human' for president? Go fuck yourself.
Je praat poep gast, en je valt finaal door de mand. Jank lekker door over Trump, ik lach me een breuk. MAGA en Merry Christmas. ( ^__^)//
It’s sad, most people’s knowledge of Americans comes from what they see on TV and the internet. If only they would be able to meet the average American, in an average town, just trying to live their lives like anyone else. The fact that most foreigners seem to go to LA and New York doesn’t help
Dude what they said is accurate! The average American is individualistic, is prideful, thinks that they are the best country in everything, obesity. What did they say that wasn’t accurate?
Most people's knowledge about any country in the world (that they haven't visited or are not interested in that country) comes from media. So when we see Trump, police brutality, self-centered Americans, protests, guns, guns, guns and guns that will be our impression of America.
Rockin' Resurrection I recognize that a decent amount of Americans are probably pretty bad with a map of Europe, or most places in the world. But I actually really enjoy geography and could name most countries and where they are at least. Capitals, I know some, some I don’t. Also what’s stopping me from googling an answer and replying to you lol. Perhaps you shouldn’t assume that just because someone is American they know nothing about the rest of the world, because I can assure you there are many who do. Stop forming your stereotypes from the internet
They were asked about the stereotypes, not about what they themselfs really think
Well in this video hes mostly asking about what stereotypes they know about Americans, but I'm sure most of them realize that stereotypes generally aren't completely accurate.
For the ones making fun of the man who said geological instead of geographical, he knows at least two languages, and most of you think that by saying hola to a latin american person you become basically bilingual lol.

You should visit Haarlem (the real harlem that is), only a 15 minutes train journey from Amsterdam, the smaller version of Amsterdam to say.
Being nice in America isn't 'fake,' it's part of being respectful. Most of us don't shake hands because we want to really feel another person's grip; same way we aren't acting friendly because we really think we've instantly become best friends. It's just a custom. If you treat somebody nicely and they don't have the courtesy to reciprocate, that tells a lot about a person, at least in the U.S.
Yes
Europeans tend to be more Cold. Tend to Take life wayy too serious lol
So asking somebody how he or she is doing while you really don't care about it isn't FAKE BUT respecpectfull?
@@DYNASPORTS66 I'd say so, yeah.
@@DYNASPORTS66 it’s entirely on context! If I say “how are you doing?” to a random stranger, it’s merely a greeting - it’s generally obvious that I don’t want someone I don’t know to tell me all of their emotions. However, if I’m in a conversation with someone I know well such as a close friend or family member and ask “how are you doing?”, it is a more intimate question, and I do expect a more personal answer. You also have to pay attention to HOW the question was asked. If someone asks “how are you doing?” very quickly, it’s generally a greeting. However, if someone looks at me and says it like “hey (slight pause), how are YOU doing?” it’s very clear they are expecting a serious answer.
I’m Dutch-American with dual citizenship (born in Nederland and raised in the US) and my family was in s’Hertogenbosch speaking English because my brother doesn’t really speak Dutch and at 10 is a walking American stereotype. A Dutch man came up to us and asked us if we were trump supporters and whether we were looking for a McDonald’s. We immediately switched to Dutch and he seemed rather abashed. I was mortified, especially since my Papa, the Dutchman, wasn’t with us at the time.
Ja stom. Soms moeten mensen zoals die man ook gewoon even normaal doen .Geweldig dat je z’n mond vol verbazing open hebt laten vallen.
Assholes come in all shapes forms and nationalities. Most Dutch people would never ask something like that. But there are those who do. Generally they are the less educated people.
Are you a boy or a girl?
I think it's a little strange that some people stereotype visitors are looking for their own culture in a country they travel to cause usually people travel to experience a different culture. I'm not saying there aren't tourists who expect to find their culture, or even language, in a different country tho cause there are some people like that. But often, that's not why most people travel.
@@daniellarkins3849 Why does gender matter to what the OP said?
America is a country of extremism in my opinion. Some people are pro something, others are against, some people are unhealthy, some are healthy, some people are open minded, some people are close minded, but everything is super extreme and there allways seems to be a strong resistence against people that are or think differently. But at the same time you cant really say that about Americans because one thing stands out by far: Americans are diverse.
+Roy S. You're right, everything here is extreme. I just drank an extreme cup of tea, got in my extreme car and than surfed some extreme waves. Extreme!

@David Benner lol what are you trying to say ?
@Millinial Picasso I think he means those who live abroad vs those just traveling. You may be on your best behavior, but I have been embarrassed by American friends. We are so spoiled here, but they just do not understand that, so get annoyed that there are no refills, that there aren't a million sauces, that the grocery store isn't going to be to their selection and they definitely get an attitude over it, ask way too many questions when they've already gotten an answer. We do it here, but it's part of our culture.
@David Benner ego trip ?
It's a big "home", some are the same some others are not... but I think this perception has to do a lot with media
True. There are also very few Americans actually traveling abroad. Most stay in the US all their lives and know little about any other country.
I don't mind the stereotypes at all. Most are true on some level. It's sad that we're seen as fake though. Most of us are actually genuinely friendly, and hospitable people. We have plenty of assholes of course, but the majority of us are nice.
I have been to America once, and i found it shocking to see, that people act like they like you and stuff, in the Netherlands people are a bit more straight forward. Not in the Netherlands BTW, also in other European country's
Very well said completly true as a asian citizen here in usa
i don't know why you think most americans are genuinely friendly.
@Pickle maybe you haven't met MOST americans
There's some Americans who think some Americans act too fake and dramatic too. Or feel like they have to avoid people because of that. It's partly cause it's influenced by entertainment and social media. Idk about you thinking most Americans are nice. You said there's plenty of mean Americans too. There's plenty of bullying, telling people to die, and rioting from America. I saw some comments saying bullying was good, needed, and "solves problems". Part of the meanness is from some them thinking they're heroically standing up for something when they not, shoving their views, that they can't be wrong, or thinking they can do whatever even mistreating others in the name of "freedom". Or thinking they're entitled to mistreat others if their life is bad, they have problems, or are a victim. Or blindly believing too much who social media or media vilifies and dogpiling on those people. Like how Hana Kimura killed herself cause she was bullied so much cause the reality tv show she was on wanted to depict her bad. And I'm not just talking about just Americans, but anyone cause I've seen bad behavior from around the world. Such as Isaac Butterfield, who is Australian, making videos just to bully and scream at people. Such as at fat people.
Seems like I'm the only European who got this recomended 😂
Nope. It’s just that we Americans need to get more of a life than watching KZhead videos and making comments all the time.

Only Europeans could take positive qualities and make them seem negative. Oh, you're polite? You smile a lot? You're welcoming? Must be fake.
what you call polite is asking someone "how are you" and just expecting a "Fine, thank you" in return here we only ask that if we actually care for the answer. if you don't care, dont ask.
+Jim Bob I could say the same about Americans. They interpret dutch directness as being rude and insulting. to us it's just being honest and we appreciate that honesty. It prevents us from developing to big of an ego and helps us get a more down to earth mindset. Being polite is one thing but agreeing with everything and everyone just to be friendly is a whole other thing and a lot of Americans act like that. interpreting that as 'being fake' isn't unrealistic or negative. you could interpret people who never challenge you opinion as 'not having a clue about anything' but we don't so at least you have agency
+SMNL019 The simple answer is that it is cultural. Americans believe in optimism, positivity, and pride. They also believe in the idea of public decorum. So americans will argue about politics, religion, philosophy, etc. among their friends or family but they tend to not argue with strangers if not necessary. Americans believe its not worth the effort. However, there is a time and place for everything. Americans form unions and organizations vocalizing their opinions. Protests are common, businesses have a complaint hotlines, the Business Bureau is bombarded with complaints, there are forums and petitions for nearly every problem in society. So it is false to say Americans are agreeable but it is true that Americans will not argue or vocalize one on one about sensitive topics as they believe an awkward moment may ensue and potential clients/friends may not come to fruition.

And if you can, how long did it take you to learn? I mean, I grew up near LA, so I've been around a plethora of languages and have been accustomed to hearing languages I don't understand my whole life. However, I can see how hearing a new language could be a bit jarring to someone from Buttfuck Nowhere, USA. Heck, I'm the first Asian some of my girlfriend's family has ever seen, and they don't live too far from the USA/Mexico border. They also speak Spanish to me as if I'm fluent in it; it's an understandable mishap for people from super homogenous areas in the world. And yes, there are areas like this in the US, too. As for the tourists you encountered, they're clearly idiots. Korea is arguably the easiest Eastern country to navigate with only English. There's English written everywhere, there's English-only tourist centers, and nearly every younger person in Korea has at least a rudimentary grasp of the language. Those tourists were an intellectual outlier.

As an American, I agree. I have strong a Nigerian heritage which impacts the way I interact with others. In Nigeria, they sugarcoat nothing. They shoot straight and get down to business. When I do the same in America--even within communities I identify with--they exile me to the fringes, and I am often left wondering where I went wrong. Especially when you are a person of color, you have to be very careful and tiptoe around people's feelings because you don't want to seem rude or "uppity."
I can take any type of criticism with eas speak for your self not others
@John Saunders you say we are the ignorant it's you buddy iv been to Hawaii and was gonna go to Germany but a volcano was erupting and couldn't go because it was in the flight path of the planes and I don't believe most shit I see on the media or social media I know my government is corrupt to the max and lie to their on the daily and you say we are poorlybeducated
I'm glad he defined the individualism because I never knew what Europeans meant by that. I'm over here wondering what the alternative is. But I understand now.
Hello 👋, same here
I lived in Holland for 5 years....I lived in Nieuwegein and loved the village and neighbors...and had large number of friends. Most of their experience though is with tourists or back in Cold War, with military members that were young, over drinking, and brash. Funny to hear them talk of intolerance as when I was there the natural born Dutch resented the large number of immigrants that came there and lived off their high taxes.....they also were very proud of the provinces they were raised rather than the unified Netherlands. Typical....everyone picks the negative of everyone else and the positives of themselves. My daughter was born there..... I have great memories of Holland. Dag!
Nieuwegein is actually a city, its not located in Noord or Zuid Holland but in Utrecht* in case you didn't know..
Look at all of those bicycles :O
Welcome to The Netherlands mate.

@Houssain Al ahmafi well, since the riot recently happened, you have the right to call us arrogant!
The Dutch? I'm hearing and seeing a lot of foreigners in this clip.
The video was shot in Amsterdam, it's touristy.
lol when Dutchies say they think all Americans are obese, as if there aren't a lot of people struggling with obese in our country too. A stereotype I have on Americans is that, like other foreigners as well, can't name another city from the Netherlands they've been to. Everyone just goes to Amsterdam, which is why it's too crowded. I'd never want to live there. Also foreigners think Holland and the Netherlands are the same thing, but actually Holland is like a district of the Netherlands.
And there are Dutch people who are willing to vote for a politician less bad than Tr*mp. Wilders is just as racist with his anti Marocco and islamaphobia. Dutchies aren't better than the Americans.
4everFinnick.CFBeautiful. im american but I speak fluent dutch. Holland is a word used casually (by dutchies and many others) for the Netherlands. Holland i.p.v. Nederland. (hup hup holland, Hollander, in het hollands, enz.)
raleighman3000 dat weet ik wel, maar ik woon zelf wel echt in Holland dus soms is het een beetje irritant ;)
I watched a KZhead video about Holland vs The Netherlands. It was confusing. You can't blame us for that.
ripmyfictionalfriends I know but plenty of Dutch people say Holland as a nickname too. Hup Hup Holland, "Hollanders", "een Holland's accent", etc. America is a nickname for the USA. Be glad we think about Holland at all. lol.

Oh. Maar dan zou je het toch wel snappen..
His intro was the biggest cringe of my life. "The only city where" he keeps repeating. Does he actually know that The Netherlands isn't just Amsterdam, and you can actually do all the things he mentioned all over the country? This is exactly the thing that's annoying about Americans. They know one city in a country, and immediately act like they know the whole country.
Same thing that European tourist do when they visit one city in the USA. You sound very hypocritical like most western Europeans.
Luthor I've never met anyone that thinks that way lmao. And also, when most Europeans go to the USA, they don't go to just one city but they tend to travel around a lot. Since the plain tickets are extremely expensive.
The only city IN THE NETHERLANDS
A.k.a NL No.. You can do all of those things in every other city in the Netherlands.. That was my whole point.
you will be astonished how good our geographical skills are. most of my friends and familly are able to name 40 states in america atleast. and we are not hypocritical, i have been in america in multiple cities and i know Lets say New York Is completely different than lets say Los Angeles. Other mentality. Its true that the biggest part of American people dont know much about other countries. They all call us holland. but holland is not a country its a province. its like the whole world changes America to the name Texas. but like Holland,Texas is a state not a country. and holland is a province not a country. Amsterdam is a city not a country. you can smoke take drugs and do all things everywhere in the Netherlands. we have more cities than Amsterdam. We've got Den Haag, Rotterdam, Tilburg, Groningen ,Leeuwarden, and go on and on. so dont call us hypocrits. We know a lot about whats going on in the world, most of us speak 3 languages ( not all ) we are very open minded. And we aint fake. Look at this, i dont see you writing things on youtube next to English. i wrote this in 2 minutes and its not even my native language. and i can do this in French and German too.
3:07 Give this man a beer! I smile often and I mean it when I do. Gotta find a Dutch guy like him.
I love the The Netherlands, that's all. Dutch people are very accommodating though they preserve individualism. But that is okay with me because even if they are individualistic, they are always ready to help when there is need to. I love the tranquility that most of the places in the The Netherlands, the peace and quiet, the clean air in the countryside and even in cities, I suppose.
"Their more individual" I felt that.
They're. individual and illiterate.

Trump is the most pro-American president in over fifty years, so you probably don't know what you're talking about.

JDS12451 I'd rather eat one, thanks.
There's literally nothing Trump has ever said or done that implies white supremacy. There are, however, tons of media outlets that have taken Trump's words out of context or straight out lied in order to accuse him of white supremacy. Perhaps you were also fooled by them. I suggest getting your news from people like Philip DeFranco / Tim Pool and such on KZhead. They're fairly neutral reporters not driven by a political agenda, unlike the American media corporations -> 90% of the American media is owned by 6 CEO's lol. Honest journalism is beyond dead in that country.
Prove it.

Nice information
I'm an American and I thought this video was the funniest thing ever! Many of the stereotypes are true. One of the things I envy about Europe is that they are less religious than over here. Europe in general is more left leaning.
+Luis Montanez That religion is what gave you your freedom in the first place. (History of the beginning of the United States; see the preamble of the Declaration of Independance and the writings of the founding fathers.) Even the extreme athiest Richard Dawkins, called Christianity a bulwark against the Islamic terrorist.
+Jon Lanier to be fair though religion is also what TOOK away freedom for many people(church of england for one)
+Jon Lanier ''Religion is what gave you freedom in the first place'' That has to be the biggest joke ive read in this entire comment section.
Peter Van Der Veen You ignorance speaks well of you.
+Jon Lanier how about you explain to me how religion is what gave me free will in the first place. instead of petty insults. I dont live in the states, just a heads up.
I just hope Europeans realize that the inverse can also be true and that they appear to be cold, unfriendly and rude
Europeans are very different among them, even in one nation you can find several ancient languages and cultures, stereotypes are not accurate, I think that the United states produce so much internal information and news that americans cannot know so much about the rest of the world than average europeans; some europeans feel americans are very ignorant because of that.
Europeans are cheap, I used to work for a restaurant in NYC and these people are cheap skates and very cold and unfriendly.

As a quiet American I can relate to the Europeans with the loudness, But people just try to be enthusiastic instead of monotone to come off as happy and cool.
Millinial Picasso nah being loud is fun
@@jofriko5416 it kinda is
and the “happy and cool” is why they think Americans are fake, some can really be like that but in general it is ironic because if someone isn’t like that in America they think something is wrong when really they’re being genuine.
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to 40 countries (I am Canadian) including The Netherlands. And the biggest factor I’ve taken away is this: North Americans tend to be more ‘forward’ and smiley than the rest of the world. It doesn’t mean other cultures and countries aren’t friendly...they just don’t smile or engage for no reason. Which, I understand also. Personally, I love the dutch and their open culture. My last serious gf was born in Netherlands and spoke fluent dutch...and she was very typical of the straight-forward and open minded culture of the people. As for Americans, I love them but they DEFINETLY have the (and I’m hugely generalizing) habit of flag waving more than other cultures. And they tend to (again, generalizing) be brazen about speaking English and expecting the rest of the world to, also. Myself, I always pick up a handful of phrases of the language of where I’m going, out of respect. I find Americans tend to expect and almost demand you speak English, wherever you are. Im a musician and worked on cruise ships with many different cultures-and they almost ALL contained people who were bi-lingual, if not knowing many more languages. And conversely, the Americans tended to only speak English-and not care otherwise. Many of my co-workers said ‘English (ne American) is the language of business, so I learned it.’ Russia was the biggest surprise for me, personally. They come across as very dour people, but if you take the time to befriend them and chat, they are very warm and open. They just don’t fake niceness or sincerity-which in the long run is an admirable trait.
I could be wrong, but I'm guessing the rest of the world, (Europe, Asia at least), all have ancient cultures, class, & cast systems, that put their people / population in their place, & make things very difficult for them to reach their full potential. This as an effect on their social status, & as got to have an effect on their overall confidence. As far as I know, these barriers don't exist (At least not as much) in North America, allowing people to be much more upwardly mobile, giving themselves more confidence, & with more confidence rubbing off in general. Well, That & the media! Just a thought.
I'm American, and despise people for being vain-glorius and patriotic for no reason, but when we play Canadian teams in any sport, I will root for most american teams w/o waving a flag!
Not fake, many of us North Americans are overly friendly. Just ask everyone in my life
I am Dutch and we think of canadians as heroes, legends, saviors. Bo seriously. Much, much love fron the Netherlands.
I'm American and learned Romanian when I spent three summers there. When I went to Mexico I learned a little Spanish but since they don't try in the US to learn English, I didn't try that hard in Mexico.

i agree with that old british lady. americans are always super proud about they're country and think they're the best. not all amercans think that but loads of them do.
+Philip Van Heyningen All Europeans are super proud about their countries, history and culture. Is it bad too?
+Sama Sebe You can't really be proud of where you were randomly born, and usually don't have any part of the previous proceedings of cultural establishment and what not.
Yes you can. And you should. Unless there is a particular reason why not. Germans are very obviously proud to be German. Dutch to be Dutch. And it is great. Also it is not necessarily country where you were born. "Homeland" is a country where your home is. You are the tiny part of the country you live in.That is my opinion. I stand on it strongly.
+Sama Sebe I don't consider myself literally proud to be Dutch. Yes I enjoy being Dutch and there are things I really like about my cultural background and such, but does that make one so called 'proud'? I think it's debatable.
"Proud" has different meanings. I used it as being delighted and satisfied, exactly what you feel as being Dutch. I love my country but I'm not saying that it is the best in the world or that it is perfect and has no faults.
>says americans are easily influenced >my knowledge of america comes from the media Europeans, everybody
Well, American media evidently IS channeling information to get certain attitudes across, while in Europe that is mostly not the case, and if it is, the people recognize that and take action against it. In that point Americans are way more naive indeed
well, said media is also from america, so it isn't weird to expect that what they see broadcasted is probably somewhat related to real life, especially when that media also has people calling things from america out
They are stereotypes. Not knowledge
like americans arent influenced by the media
The American media represents extremes as if they're the norm. Not only Europeans think it's the norm, a lot of Americans do too. Need proof, look at Twitter. Real people who think the world is what the media pretends it is. Makes me want to vomit
I can’t agree more. Many Americans who travel to other countries think that they are better than everybody. Many of them are very loud. I’m an American myself and I can certainly see how many other Americans behave badly when I travel to different countries. There are always some bad apples, unfortunately.
But were taught in elementary that were superior to other countries. You know that as a American. So what can we do.
Ok coldnbland
From the American perspective, we're more or less as the Dutch describe us, but we vary quite a bit. We could use more of the Dutch sensibility and be less full of ourselves, I agree. Humbleness is a much needed quality here, but to truly understand us, just watch the Red Green Show. The interplay is priceless in describing the nature of Americans.
Second Amendment was established in order to have a citizen-run militia in case of a war-gone-bad or if the government needs to be rebelled against. Apparently, the citizens have the right and duty to rebel against the government if anything happens. Can't do that without weapons. edit: This is to answer that young couple's, and any other's, confusion as to why it exists in the US Constitution.
+Jizan thapus I'm European and I completely understand it, we've just chosen a different path. We tend to have more faith in our governments, but is that justified?
Jizan thapus At the time, it was necessary, and we cannot go against the Constitution unless another amendment were to be added that would counter the existing one. But we still like the idea of being able to form a militia. A love/hate relationship is what US citizens and their government have, and I think that's a good thing. edit: But, I know very well the flaws of such a thing, and understand what you are thinking.
+The Martian But your government have drones, your militias will be like mice in a box.
Jumanji ?
+Raffini Or just being used to the tyranny of your monarchs in which later established into a parliament. Our second amendment is more of an insurance policy

Kelly says: don't forget our specials okay? Let me know when you are ready to order. It is my pleasure to help you. I will be right back with your drinks. Tata. Every time in an American establishment we hear the same marketing lines welcoming people with a storyline that could be shorter to save our time. Then 10% tip is normal in the US. Well ....please people you have higher salaries as a waitress than in the Netherlands! 10 freaking percent? By two weeks going out for dinner. Like average spending of 100 usd per night x 14 days x 10 percent = 140 usd. That is only dinner. We still got lunch and other food to buy daily. Lets say we need to have at least 500 usd extra to save up to give tips to waitresses. While they are not happy AT ALL to serve people. I know because I live in The Netherlands being raised half american and lived there.
If you order plain omelet with sugar, waitresses looks at Dutch like we are crazy and cannot serve that. Its like alien food or smth. Hilarious
You are, and I was born in Europe and always been friendlier and always wanted to go study and live in the US LOL
