But one thing you maybe want to know @Sabri_KC: hagelslag is not an icecream BUTTTT some hagelslag can be put ON icecream. Like some fruity rainbow hagelslag or with mini nuts or chocolates. It looks like this:

Hi Yue ! Maybe because you’re celebrating either the Royal family, or the formation/independence of the Netherlands…
Am I right ? 😅🤔 (I chose not to look on the Internet)

Haha very good @Sabri_KC!! Tomorrow is KING'S DAY!!! So what happens is everybody can wear orange or Dutch flags on your face. You dont have to be completely like an orange but at least orange socks or a shirt or skirt or anything that shows orange. And in parks you can put down a blanket and sell stuff like old clothes or books or small children perform like dancing or singing and they get money for it. And it is nice to walk in cities like Amsterdam and there are food stands and normally the King and Queen and their family visit a city. But tomorrow is also the funeral of the Pope so i am not sure whether they will do that tomorrow.
So if ANYBODY visits The Netherlands tomorrow you have to wear orange too!! 😃

@Sabri_KC and @Piwipete you dont have a king in France and Germany but do you have like a President Day or smt like that?? 🙄🤷♀️ I know about 14 July in France and it was about the Bastille that they freed prisoners right? And with Germany I know about the day that people dress in German clothes and drink beer and sing songs!! But i dont know the name of that day!! 😛 But is there another important day? Merci and danke sehr!! 🙂

Ooh trust me, a President’s day in France would very quickly turn into a riot 😭 especially in the current political context.
We have the 14th of July, true, it’s about the Fête de la Fédération which happened exactly 1 year after bastille day.
We do have beautiful fireworks at night, and a huge military parade in Paris (I can even hear the planes of the parade in my city !) and that’s it. But it doesn’t sound as exciting as King's day in the Netherlands. because it’s pretty hot outside and pretty much everyone is in vacation 😅
Nooooo!!!! We are free on Kings Day!!! But now it is on a Saturday but if it is during the week we are FREE!!!! 🥳🥳

Hello Yue, we don‘t have a President‘s day, because our President is not very important! We have regional party days like the Carnival at the Rhineland or Harbor-days in some northern towns. I think you are talking about the „Oktoberfest“ at Munich, which is esch year in September!🤣 many greetings
Thank you very much @Sabri_KC and @Piwipete!! 🙏🙏 I will look up the days you mentioned and it is funny what you both say about a President's Day!! 🤭🤭 But I will first be an orange with arms and legs today!!!! 😃
🥳🎉🤴 HAPPY KING'S DAY EVERYBODY!!! 👑🌈🌞
Happy King's Day! How'd you celebrate it? 😊

My aunt asked me if i can be with her on the vrijmarkt so we did that and sold a LOTTT of stuff!! I earned more than 35 Euros but i bought a cap for my dad from Red Bull bc he is a big fan of Max Verstappen. He thinks it looks cool and is happy with it and i think it is fine too. But my mom says his head is like a football if he wears a cap! 😛
What did you do today @-Kiki-? Did you also sell things at the vrijmarkt or did you maybe walk around in the centre? 🥳🥳
How does one put up a topic ? Or suggest one ?

@-Kiki-, @Ilexforest, @Muffles and @Savi2024 what did you do at King's Day? 🙂
@Yue_ its maybe a strange topic for (mostly fellow) dutchies but i thought one about (old) 'Kinderliedjes' maybe ?
My kingsday was top,got kebabs and 3 big bags of stuff from the kings market where the most expensive stuff were maybe €5
hiii @Ilexforest!! what is also nice is if you have a separate forum for it and ask also about kid songs in other countries and languages!! do you think that would be nice for you? 🙂 and that is a good thing that you got the bags also of expensive things for not a lot of money!! 🙂
@LandRoverDiscovery2 my aunt sold the most like CDs aand books and i thought nobody would buy CDs still but i was wrong and she sold them for 1 Euro for every CD. And she also sold Chinese decorations like for example a mini poster in a small frame or with caligraphy. and i sold old clothes that i do not wear anymore and i had DIY crafts sets but some i think are better for small children so they could get it for like 0,50 cents or 1 Euro and they were very happy with it and i dont use that anymore. So they were happy and i was happy bc i have now more space again. My room is not really big and we dont have a lot of space for storing stuff so it really helps and in this way we dont throw it away but others use it now. 😊😊
