Looking at changing gas providers after moving house this month. Looking at independer, am seeing this as the best price for a three year contract. Given the uncertainty in the gas supply, will it be a good idea to lock in this price for a three year contract ? In the past I've always chosen year long contracts. Got pretty screwed in 2022.

There is this mini-series called “Tokyo Trial”. It was co-produced by Dutch producers and it follows the Dutch judge who participated in the trial.

He mentions that although they had abolished the death penalty in NL they voted a special law to execute Nazi collaborators.

My questions are: 1) is this true?, and 2) what happened to those people’s families? Were they ostracized or shamed? What happened to the families of those people i.e., how did Dutch society deal with them. My limited research on Germany points to a hush-hush we dont talk about it attitude but how was it in NL?

Bedankt!

Hey guys, so I moved here from Brazil 3 years ago and I'm speaking the language pretty good and I kinda feel like one of the boys.

At the beginning of March some Dutch girl was interested in me and gave me her snap, we quickly started dating.

Thing is, she would mention a lot in the first month how hot she finds my look, and my accent, and my style etc. I didn't mind because I liked her too.

Skip to 2 weeks ago, and she absolutely broke my heart. Right now I'm going through the phase of questioning every aspect of the relationship.

Was it all just some weird fetish, sometimes I'd try to get closer to her and make her feel loved and beautiful and she wouldn't take it well.

Apparently her exes were also foreigners: Swedish and Turkish.

Is this at all common in the netherlands?

Hey as the title says i will be travelling to Netherlands from UK which will be 3-7 july and would love to get to know some people around here with whom i can have some drinks/smoke and who can show me around would be great

Btw i just love football and videogames if thats something u wanna talk about lets chat and see where it leads

Hi! My dutch boyfriend showed me some stuff of Huub Hangop. After that i giggled and called it "boomer humour". He got offended and said it isnt just for boomers/genX. Is it?

I'm now confused, because this style of videos and presence would be considered weird for people younger than, idk, 50?

But in the other hand Im often surprised how different dutch people see some things.

Is Huub Hangop really a thing? Or is has my bf eccentric taste of music/humor?

How is he perceived by GenZ/Millenials?

Hi. A couple of years ago my place of employment in England was used as a location for the movie Tegendraads directed by Ben Sombogart. We were meant to receive a copy but have not been able to.

I've searched online for the movie or to find a site to buy a copy from. Doesn't anyone know where I might be able to stream or purchase a copy of the movie?

Many thanks

I'll be selling out my ebike. But how to safely offer ebike test drives to potential clients without having to worry about one never returning with my ebike?

So I currently don't live in the Netherlands. I do have a museumkaart that I upgraded from a temporary one. It's kind of yellow/golden on the front. When I received this physical card I was somewhat confused but figured it's just this year's colour. But I visited a few smaller museums this weekend, and the museum staff were confused about my card colour as well. Anyone know what's going on here? Is this the colour for a yearly card that cannot be extended, because no access to iDeal or is something else going on?

Voor een schoolopdracht moet ik een enquete onderzoek afnemen waarbij ik 50 respondenten nodigheb. Zouden jullie mij kunnen helpen hiermee door deze enquete in te vullen? Alvast bedankt! https://forms.gle/N7S6ophZqxiJ49LPA

I recently visited the Netherlands as a tourist and, like many people, I had this image in my head that everyone there is gigantic.

I’m around 1.80m, and by European standards I’ve believe I'm relatively short or at least below average. So I honestly expected to feel tiny walking around Dutch cities.

But to my surprise, most men I noticed seemed to be around 1.85–1.90m, while the truly towering 1.90m+ guys were the exception. Obviously there were still plenty of tall people, but not in the “every single person is over 2 meters” stereotype you sometimes hear online

It actually made me realize that maybe I’m not as short as I thought I was. The internet had convinced me the Netherlands would make me feel like a child among giants.

Really enjoyed the country by the way great atmosphere, beautiful cities, and incredibly easy to get around.

We’re planning to replace our old electrical panel (the one with the old porcelain fuses/switches) with a modern one and also add grounding to the house, since we currently don’t have any grounding at all.

Does anyone know what a reasonable price range would be for this kind of work in the Netherlands?

We received one quote for “minimum €5000,” which feels quite high to me — although I’m definitely not an expert, so maybe it’s normal. I’d just like to compare a bit before making a decision.

I also recently downloaded the Werkspot.nl app to look for more quotes, but I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or opinions as well!

Wij willen onze oude meterkast (met de oude porseleinen stoppen/schakelaars) laten vervangen door een moderne groepenkast en daarnaast ook aarding laten aanleggen, omdat we momenteel helemaal geen aarding hebben.

Weet iemand wat hiervoor ongeveer een normale prijs is in Nederland?

We hebben een offerte gekregen van “minimaal €5000”, maar dat voelt voor mij best hoog aan. Ik ben geen expert, dus misschien is het een normale prijs, maar ik wil graag eerst wat vergelijken.

Ik heb inmiddels ook de Werkspot.nl app gedownload om meerdere offertes aan te vragen, maar ik ben ook benieuwd naar jullie ervaringen en meningen!

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

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.

My hair need some TLC , if theres anyone that is able to do dreadlocks maintenance after working hours please let me know and name your price

Thank you

Would you say Dutch people are generally nice and outgoing?

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!

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!
