A while ago i visited PANCAKES Amsterdam. I asked the waitress what type of pancake is the most traditional in The Netherlands. She told me a lot of people order the pannenkoek with bacon and put some type of syrup on it. I forgot what they call it in The Netherlands.

So i tried it, at first i was sceptical about adding syrup on top of bacon. But once it was there i actually loved it so much, it was the best pancake i ever had. But is this really a thing dutch people do? Mixing sweet and savoury? I really enjoyed it!

Im from Croatia and im fairly jelaous lol, massive logistics industry, second biggest agricultural exporter and a great tech sector are just some of the more notable things about it.

What are some policies that the Netherlands implement to allow them to perform this well economically that other countries could copy?

Hi! I am a history lover who also enjoys watching historical drama. I discovered them just few years ago, despite being interested in history since 2010, so i don't know a lot of them yet. But 2.5 years ago I fell in love in Europen historical shows (I am from Europe myself) as they not shy away from dark and difficult topics and usually portray the past times with a lot of empathy towards the characters.

Not long ago I've found and watched movies called "Tulip Fever" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and miniseries "The Miniaturist', who are, apparently all set in the 17th century Netherlands, but were made in the UK, not the country they are set. Ana because of that and that I don't know the detalis yet about the Dutch history except the most common information I can't tell how accurate they were and I would like to avoid "learning the wrong history" as I, colloquially say. I live pretty close to your country (only one other country separates us) and I, literally have aunt and cousin living in Netherlands, so the culture isn't toally alien to me, but still I would be really interested in watching shows or movies made by the Dutch people about your own history.

It can be any time period from the oldest (early medieval, I guess) to the most recent (I mean 20th century) and the show/movie can as well be aired this year as in the 60s or 30s, just make it be set in the older time period than this it was filmed in. I would just want to see some Dutch history on my notebook screen. Any reccommendations?

I know about Limburg and Friesland, but what about the others?

Ik doe een onderzoek naar de opvatting over de AOW-leeftijdsverhoging en de verzorgingsstaat. Ik ben daarvoor op zoek naar respondenten tussen de 30 en 55 jaar . Het invullen duurt tussen de 5 en 10 minuten! Doorsturen van de enquête binnen je netwerk zou ik heel erg waarderen. Alvast bedankt!

Hi! My friend and I are visiting Amsterdam from America in a few weeks. One of the nights we're seeing Harry Styles, and we're also planning on experiencing the night life for some of the other nights.

We both like places that are carefree, fun, and lots of people are dancing. Preferably good music that has lyrics.

I'm also stressing about my outfits. What do girls in their mid-20s usually wear on a night out in Amsterdam?

Thank you!

I live in a US city that was founded by Dutch settlers and has a yearly tulip festival celebrating the regions Dutch heritage + continued connection to a Dutch sister city that we helped rebuild after WW2. To open the festival they have students put on clogs and old-timey dresses and ceremoniously wash the street. Every year they say that this street washing is an old Dutch tradition that symbolizes welcoming visitors, so I was wondering if it actually is/was a known practice in the Netherlands.

I need to make a cake for someone but I’m here only for a certain period of time. Investing in baking materials isn’t quite worth it when they’ll be left behind (baking tools). So I want somewhere that’s cheap or have this stuff almost for free if possible.

Hi, I'm from Panama, 23 years old. I am finishing my Engineering degree (technology). My English is B1… I understand more or less but I need practice.

I want to go 1 year to Amsterdam for:

1. Improve my English.

2. Know another culture.

3. Come back to Panama more fluent and better prepared in my area of study.

4. Work in my technology area (IT, QA, CYBERSECURITY) while I am there.

My questions:

1. Pros and cons main for a Panamanian (weather, housing, cost of living, safety).

2. Can I improve my English if everyone speaks English? Or it's bad because they speak Dutch?

3. What visa or requirements I need for 1 year?

4. Do people get angry if I only speakk English?

The most important: I want to work in technology (QA, TESTER, cybersecurity) to get experience, because that is the most important thing together with English. Is it possible with B1 English and no Dutch?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I am planning on moving to the Netherlands to work. I wanted to ask what jobs pay pretty well and where exactly in the Netherlands. (seasonal jobs are good too!)

I am a university student (online) studying hospitality. I have experience in 5-star luxury resorts and casinos, hospitality, tourism, real estate, and office administration. I speak fluent English and Romanian. I have EU nationality!

I would love to get an idea of the options available for me. Provided accommodation would be ideal, since I want to save up money.

I know taxes can get pretty high, so please help me with more information to get a better understanding of the Netherlands' work culture!

Thank you in advance!

Note: I want to mention that I am willing to complete a certificate in any field if it helps with the salary/hiring process!

Hoi allemaal!

Ik ben Frank en voor mijn afstudeeronderzoek Commerciële Economie zoek ik Formule 1-fans tussen de **18 en 45 jaar.**

Ik onderzoek welke informatie F1-fans nodig hebben rondom het oriënteren, boeken en beleven van een Formule 1-reis. Daarbij kijk ik vooral naar welke informatie en e-mails fans wel of juist niet nuttig vinden.

De enquête duurt maximaal 5 minuten en je antwoorden worden anoniem verwerkt.

Als bedankje verloot ik **3 Formule 1-reischeques t.w.v. €50** onder de deelnemers. Aan het einde kun je optioneel je e-mailadres achterlaten om kans te maken. Dit e-mailadres wordt alleen gebruikt voor de loting en wordt niet gekoppeld aan je antwoorden.

Bij sommige vragen vraag ik je om maximaal 2 of 3 opties te kiezen, zodat ik beter kan zien wat voor F1-fans het belangrijkst is. Staat jouw antwoord er niet tussen? Dan kun je “Anders, namelijk” kiezen.

Feedback op de enquête zelf is ook welkom, vooral als een vraag onduidelijk is of als je antwoordopties mist.

Mocht je tijdens het invullen merken dat een vraag onduidelijk is of dat je een antwoordoptie mist, laat het vooral weten in de comments. Dat helpt mij om de enquête te verbeteren.

Alvast enorm bedankt voor het helpen met mijn onderzoek!
