So today it's Queen's Day in Holland. It's a Dutch national holiday were we celebrate the birthday of our Queen. Or maybe it's just another excuse to party non-stop, wear crazy hats and orange outfits just to show how much we love our country :). Most people visit street markets on this day or go to free concerts organised by several radio stations. Don't get me wrong...I love free concerts...but the best concerts are usually in Amsterdam and on Queen's Day it's frickin' crowded in Amsterdam. I don't live near Amsterdam, so on Queen's Day I usually try to avoid going to Amsterdam, since public transport is not very convenient on this day. And at night most people continue to party...as I'm typing this, I can already hear the loud music playing from the city centre. I'm actually heading off to a bar in just a few minutes with some friends of mine. So this ain't going to be a long blog post :).
Below you can see a picture, just to show you how busy it was today at one of the concerts in Amsterdam. They sure know how to throw a big party there!
