Content Queen's Day celebration Kralingse Bos, an afternoon strawl through a Dutch park Amsterdam, genuine Dutch means of relaxation rotterdam Rotterdam is where I was raised. Left it in September 2002 and moved to Nairobi - Kenya . v-spot: Queen's Day in rotterdam The Dutch at least once a year get crazy. It's
when they are celebrating Queen's Day on the 31st of April, the birth day
of the queen. It's a public holiday, and everybody seems to be on the look
out for something very precious. In Holland clear skies are rare. Sunshine in Holland changes
the atmosphere totally. Bars release their terraces, people start to dress
and to act funny. Result is a collective laid-back mood. People go out,
to sit on the sunny sides of the street. v-spot: kralingse bos, rotterdam Planted in the thirties of the twentiest century to create jobs,
the Kralingse Bos belongs to all inhabitants of Rotterdam. Just like in
every good urban forest, there is a lake in the middle. On the shores
you will find that typically atmosphere of parks; cheer mixed with an
edge of sadness. video: coffee shops in amsterdam Amsterdam is the capital. It's not the policital nor the economic
centre, but the cultural heart of the country. Many tourists come to visit museums,
theatres, and cinemas. The majority just leaves the museums behind and head
straight to a coffeeshop. NOTE: Realvideo. |
