- In this episode, Michelle and Alex explore Schiedam, the genever (or jenever) capital of the Netherlands (actually, probably the world). We also eat at a sandwich shop that's named after us and try the viral "Dubai chocolate" with künefe from De Bonte Koe (a Schiedam-based chocolatier).
Filmed on June 23, 2024 · Schiedam, the Netherlands

Yo! I'm born in Dordrecht
Moved from there when I was a year and a half. Moved to Haarlem.
Lived in Calgary Canada for 7 years. Lived in Leiden, Amsterdam., London. But guys I've been back to Dordrecht a few times as a part of my family lives there.. Not my cup of thea anymore
I recently moved to Zandvoort so i could stay close to Haarlem.
Man. The most beautifull city in the Netherlands.
Seeing you two enjoy trainrides.
Take one Haarlem and then rent a bike and take a ride through the dunes. Glad to welcome you in Zandvoort for a home made cup of Coffee.
Cheers Eugène
There is a poolcafe in Schiedam called De Ketel and it is in an old Distillery and the pipes and ketel are still inside…
M'n blonde hoofd dacht 'uitjes', 'onions'?
Maar uitjes, outings...yup it's definitely Monday. 😅
hahaha that’s exactly why we’re calling the videos “uitjes” 😂
@@buncharted2 Really?! 😂🤣
@@BabzV I don't think Alex and Michelle are familiar with the term: "Dom blondje", but they probably figured out the context.. 😉
hahaha we weten het. het is hetzelfde in engels :)
Michelle that hoodie looks awesome
So nice to see you two in my hometown. ❤ You are right the windmills in Schiedam are the highest in the world. Pretty sure you could've gone up one of them. Or maybe come back when it's de molendagen. 😊
Ohw, and Schiedam has a pretty obscure history. The last "witch" burned ever, was here. Nothing to be proud of, but history it is.
You walked so close to my house ! You can book a tour at the Ketel One Distillery (I don't know if it's still free). See the distillery, it is really worth the visit....
Schiedam is where my Dad grew up. When I dream of moving to NL, it's one of the places I always search for real estate
Excellent trip report.❤
"Een klap van de windmolen gehad" is an expression when someone is crazy.😮
Unhinged, unstable. Not crazy per se.
'BUN' is just down the road from where I live - would have been great to see you guys in person 🙂
Ketel One is the brand, they make Vodka but also Jenever. The original Ketel 1 distilling ketel is still there and is still used, it's still heated with a cole fire. I actually did a tour at the distillery behind the windmill and have a photo of myself shoveling cole into Ketel 1.
''Ketel One is the brand, they make Vodka but also Jenever.'''
Let me correct that. Ketel One is the brand, they make Jenever but also Vodka.
Jenever is their main product
.
@@pikefishingxl I know, but since they stated in the video Ketel One makes Vodka, that is the reason why I said it in that order. I hadn't seen the part yet where they find out Ketel One makes Jenever.
No, those are real turtles! Not sure as to why exactly, but they've been living in that canal for years. Secondly, I've learned more about my hometown watching this than by living here for 36 years.
Anyway, pretty sure this was the Sunday I was debating myself on whether or not to leave my house and go downtown and ultimately decided not to, so now I'm bummed I deprived myself from the opportunity to run into you guys 😂 hope you had fun!
If you take a tour at Hooghoudt in Groningen they used to give you two jenever mix-drinks. Tasted quit good.
Their 'Citroen brandewijn' is really horrible! As a nipper (sipper) myself, I can't warn other people enough 😞
I don't know about their other drinks, so don't let this stop you from visiting Hooghoudt in Groningen.
So jealous of the life you have there in the Netherlands. It certainly seems to fit you two.
The turtles are real. They are not originally found in the Netherlands, but were released by people who had them as pets and no longer wanted them.
Turtles can survive in the Netherlands. Sometimes they also lay eggs that they bury in the sand, but summers are too short and too cool for the eggs to hatch.
Mostly they die after a few years of starvation. People should be more responseble.
Oké, but why is nobody talking about that awesome Stardew Valley hoodie?!
branders dagen terug komen thats fun
13:55 What is her ''what'' and what's the answer ? 😂
was in 88 there once, looked nothing like now!, all still nice and old 😎
Subscribed ❤
Cool pixel chicken!
😊😊
Wauw i wish i knew you were there i live in Schiedam 😁
You where in my street, and i was at home and i missed you guys!!!
To bad
i hope you liked Schiedam
In september (during the open monuments days) you can enter the castle ruin.
Wow ik woonde vroeger vlakbij Station Schiedam. Als je ooit Vlaardingen bezoekt en een gids (😂) nodig hebt…. Ik help graag!😊
You really need to make a spreadsheet of all the menu items at Bun...
You then get the overview: Buncharted
hahaha
“bun charted, by: buncharted”
Black Nazareth achievement unlocked
is that the city’s nickname? 😅
Sure is! Although the ‘black’ part can be easily explained (the city used to be covered in soot, from all distilleries), the Nazareth-part doesn’t have an unambiguous explanation. Some refer to Bible-verses, others to the Belgian city of Nazareth. Quite interesting actually 😊
You should really come back for the ramen ! Its fantastic and really affordable. Next time I hope to spot you 😮
oh there is no question, we will be back for the ramen
Did You miss the Noordmolen, it was a restaurant not sure it stil is.
Try tuna on pizza(some red onion and cheese of course) . 👍
we get the tonijn pizza from our favorite spot in dordrecht pretty regularly. it’s so good 🤤
again, not something we would have done in the US but tuna is so popular here
@@buncharted2 Isn't weird that it actually works?!
Zo zo lekker. 👍
Interesting. Never seen a tourist video from Schiedam. I grew up and went to school there late 90s/early 2000s (the school being literally behind that church which rang its bells). The city really lost its 'flavor' over the years. Coming into the city center really ain't what it used be. On the other hand, it does have some nice sight seeing spots.
Zwart Nazareth
So KARA and NATE ❤❤ hungry now.
So, does that mean you are shooting to be the owner of Poezenboot A'dam?
maybe we start poezenboot dordrecht :)
Ketel 1 is NOT wodka.
Never!
That's Ketel One...
🙄🤨
what
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketel_One
Both from Nolet.
Jenever can tell
@@buncharted2difference is in the writing. ‘Ketel 1’ for Jenever, ‘Ketel One’ for Wodka!
Why is there no one on the street?
They knew buncharted where coming😂
You should call this channel ‘bunhinged’ 😂😂
😂😂😂
My hometown, only thing positive is that we have the tallest historical windmills in the world.
Edit; The ''Castle'' is from 1107, the year that is.
Edit nr 2; the turtles are real, just throw a rock in the water.
Jesus Christ, another one; Ketel 1 is jenever NOT wodka.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketel_One
@@buncharted2 Yep, it is jenever. Ketel one only sells wodka in the USA. You are currently not in the USA. So they only sell jenever in the Netherlands. It is in the wikipedia article, just read carefully.
@ronaldderooij1774 www.gall.nl/ketel-one-vodka-70cl-780456.html
@@buncharted2 I'm getting old, for ages Ketel 1, meant Jenever/Gin. But i just found out they've started to use THAT name for more than just Jenever. Which i find weird, since the brand is Nolet, just like we have 'de Kuyper' . Why use a certain product name, for different products ?
@peet4921 as someone on the other side of the confusion (only knowing ketel one as vodka), i have to agree with you. it’s super confusing!
Did you bring pizza to the turtles?
cowabunga!
@@buncharted2
Turtle power!
Fun fact: the duck is not a duck but a meerkoet. Also water birds, but with cool looking feet.
Umm why not bring a ship/boat so u can get off the island? 🤨 Id bring a ship, food and drinks.
