Click it too many times uh I might have clickedΒ it like five times uh oh Amsterdam central 24 years old Wyatt Brugge okay we’re good let’s goΒ and in case we lose our copies we have three more okay 12 11 Thalys it’s goingΒ to Brussels but it’s stopping inΒ Β
Rotterdam so let’s go which which platform was it 15a 15a classic what’s new we’re running we’reΒ fine I love bullet trains shape they’re alwaysΒ Β like triangular for the aerodynamics howΒ sick is that we made it to coach on timeΒ Β killing it we are I love bullet trainsΒ because unlike airports you don’t haveΒ Β
To go through security you just go straightΒ on and it’s awesome really fast comfortableΒ Β it’s going to be a great time Thalys that’sΒ the uh fastest trade in the Netherlands I’m pretty sure honestly I really didn’t think we were goingΒ to make it really yes but we did yeah

Faster trains in Indonesia are 350km/H
Fun fact: Dutch is part of the Germanic language which has two sub-divisions (West and North). West Germanic consists of English, German, and Dutch and North Germanic consists of Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
Standing on a small hill you'll see whole of the Netherlands, with 18 million small spics of people. That's what you call a view !π
What do you think of this video? Any advice or ideas to make it better? π€π₯°
Weβre really trying to improve and would love to hear your feedback! β€οΈ
This is actually a French train. It cannot go fast in the Netherlands as the special track has not been laid. Not worth it is such a small country….
Just found out that their is a muesum for the Cube Houses, plus hostel.
FUN FACT -> Thalys isnt dutch. its FRench train..
And from a GB company called eurostar..
I work @ Rotterdam Centrale station.. we dont like the internatiole trains lol
You went to Rotterdam and didn't try Kapsalon? I think you will have a pleasant surprise…Fallafel is nice as well…let me know!
Fun fact, there is a hotel/hostel in the Rotterdam cube houses. This is also the cheapest place to sleep in Rotterdam. Standard price of 30 euros per night in a dorm room!
You might have missed it but Rotterdam is a city that was bombed to the ground in WW2, so almost every building you see is made after that with 2 exceptions, the two oldest football stadiums in the netherlands where spared. The oldest being from 1916!
Ok, this must have been the most expensive way to get from Amsterdam to Rotterdam π
Greetings from New Orleans! You both speak at the perfect level, easy to understand. Learning a lot from you both.
Yesss you visit a real Dutch city haha
