OK, easter is far away, so the little bunny-gimmicks on this site have been banned. ---- Today it's Koninginnen Dag, and just to show you what it means to the dutchmen, I added the Google-logo:  And here's the link to the Dutch royal house. It's not even Queen Beatrix's birthday, but her mother - the former Queen - Koningin Julianas birthday. Downtown there will be flee markets, since everybody is cleaning out their storage rooms (an important room in dutch architecture - I will remind myself to write more about the overstuffed dutch top shelves)...unfortunately I have no time for that, since I'm occupied with birthday preparations, thesis-writing, shelves-painting, coffee-drinking, Star Trek-watching etc. - but it's a nice dutch tradition... I still remember last year, where I traveled from Denmark through the Netherlands on Koninginnen Dag...people wore orange hats, waving orange flags (The Dutch royal house descend from the Oranjes), drinking LOTS of beer - all in all having a blast of a day off! It's the perfect opportunity to meet the dutchmen with their hair let down... ---- I've decided to re-write my thesis from a new perspective....33 days left... *** - | posted by Tommy on 11:07 AM ---ooo--- |
