1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,684 Hi, I'm Eva, I'm from the Netherlands. 2 00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:06,060 I'm spending this month in America 3 00:00:06,093 --> 00:00:09,809 and the funny thing is that, before I came here, 4 00:00:09,832 --> 00:00:12,797 I didn't really think the Netherlands had so much as a culture. 5 00:00:14,468 --> 00:00:17,757 For example, when people ask 'What is typical dutch food?' 6 00:00:19,506 --> 00:00:21,197 I have no idea. 7 00:00:21,247 --> 00:00:24,293 You don't really have such a thing as typical Dutch restaurants for example. 8 00:00:24,481 --> 00:00:27,288 And like that, there were a lot of things that made me think 9 00:00:27,301 --> 00:00:30,580 "Actually, what's typical Dutch? What are typical Dutch people like?". 10 00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:32,158 I couldn't see it clearly. 11 00:00:32,190 --> 00:00:35,453 And actually only when I came here, 12 00:00:35,487 --> 00:00:39,574 in a country I didn't think was that different from the Netherlands, 13 00:00:40,243 --> 00:00:44,468 I started to miss things from home and could I see how much difference there is, 14 00:00:44,498 --> 00:00:49,603 although the American and Dutch culture are not that different from each other. 15 00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:58,179 And now I can hear how pretty Dutch is and how nice Dutch people actually are. 16 00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:01,677 Dutch people are very... mm 17 00:01:05,269 --> 00:01:10,486 normal and pretty calm, I think. 18 00:01:12,190 --> 00:01:14,489 They don't long for much more than they have. 19 00:01:15,013 --> 00:01:19,716 And I don't know, I think it's a pretty nice little country after all. 20 00:01:20,189 --> 00:01:25,805 And it's funny to notice I couldn't see these things beforehand. 21 00:01:26,265 --> 00:01:29,265 And now I do. 22 00:01:29,308 --> 00:01:30,855 (Laughter)
