Today was queen's day, the day that the Dutch celebrate the Queens Birthday, which is on the 31st of January. Seems strange, not really, the reason is that the previous queen did have her birthday on 30 april. Why change a winning formula? Anyway, the point of this blog entry thing is, that I wanted to mention that this day is quite the festive occasion, with people selling their junk in the street, music by live bands and much more.
