WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We’re Michelle and Alex, an American expat couple living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and… well, that didn’t happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change by packing up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and moving from Austin, Texas, in the US, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!

Japan staat voor mij voor volgend jaar op de planning. Waarschijnlijk gaan we in oktober met een groep vrienden naar Osaka en Tokio. Ondanks mijn hoogtevrees en daaraan gekoppelde vliegangst heb ik er heel veel zin in. Nu nog een cursus Japans. Want met de kennis die ik inmiddels heb opgedaan via New Japan pro Wrestling kom ik niet heel ver vrees ik XD
Gotta love the Japanese, they really commit to the bit…
If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much 💪🏻
That’s cool you guys went there🤙👍
shoes and women's underwear… Van Haren & Hünkemüller
Too mant empty spaces there. We don't have space to just have empty space (or superfluous parking lots)
😉😊😊
Guys, I love your videos so much! They're very entertaining AND relaxing to me at the same time. Wish you'd post even more often (would really love daily vlogs – how about Vlogmas? 😬)!
Happy 10k subbies to you – only 90k more to go for the silver plaque! See ya in 2024 for having accomplished that target…..
This theme interesting.Because you can see how the Netherlands would look like if the country had mountains
There is a Belgium program called "Reizen Weas", they also filmed this Theme Park in Japan. They had a guide who told that all the bricks of both the buildings and the paving bricks were originally shipped from the Netherlands, so it are real Dutch bricks they use to build everything. He also explained the reason of the Theme Park, he did say because Japanese people have not many day's for Holidays it is to far to realy travel to the Netherlands, and many want to see the Netherlands. So they build a little Netherlands in Japan itself so they can visit the Netherlands but not have to travel that far, so the not have use to much day's of their holiday's for only the traveling.
They should at least have a HEMA there with the traditional HEMA rookworst.
Ik kan niet geloven dat dit bestaat 😂
Love the Dutch doctor prescribing paracetamol 😆
That rice and egg dish looks delicious. Is it something weird specifically in the park or a twist on a Japanese dish? Is so what is it called cause I need a recipe for that.
What do you do when you want to visit a typical Dutch city? Surely you book a trip to Japan.
A bit weird, but cool that you checked it out.
I think I would prefer the Dutch bitterballen above the Japanese style of food.
Thank you for this Japanese culture insight ❤
I'm surprised that you call Dutch ketchup sweet because as a child we never had Heinz ketchup at home because my mom found it to sweet, we always had Remia. It almost has double the amount of sugar in it.
If the giant meteor finally hits the earth and thousand year later aliens will visit this place, I bet they think the Netherlands actually expanded their territory in Japan.
🤣🤣🤣
At 5:00 I think it’s kwarkballlen. My local bakery sells this too, besides the oliebollen.
