Just in case, y'know, it wasn't clear what the subtle differences between Holland and The Netherlands are.

I'm from South-Holland.

Random Trivia not mentioned in this video: The Netherlands is the biggest exporter of Bell Pepper worldwide.

And our national food is the potato...

Grey is pretty fantastic. If you like his videos you might be interested in his podcast Hello Internet with Brady Haran from numberphile/sixtysymbols/periodicvideos/etc.

Also, I have a good friend living in Eindhoven, and another dude elsewhere in the Netherlands. Despite being incredibly small the only euro country where I know more people is like, the UK, and maybe Finland.

People didn't know this? I'd understand the North/South thing, but then again I do know some people who call Danish people Dutch...

Funny, I watch both Grey and all of Brady's channels yet I didn't know this.
