Life isn't special in the Netherlands most celebrations are banned. December 5th, Christmas, New Year's Eve, bonfire with Eastern, New Year's dive (January 1st in winter), King's Day it all depends on where you live if it's celebrated. Every few years there are fights about those celebrations. Woke shouting it should be forbidden, foreigners feeling insulted. social media, papers, you name it. I wonder why everything is a political issue as if there's nothing else to worry about. Leave, go live somewhere else if you don't like the country and its habits, can't stand the culture. The world is big enough. It's a luxury problem the shouting and complaining. If you hate partying stay home, close the curtains and go to bed. You won't see me dive in sea on January 1st and I don't care if others do (no sea where I live and won't travel half of the country to join this group). The only place I see celebrations is at work (mainly weddings) the rest? It depends on where you live and the place where I am isn't.
It was a weekend out (once per year better not overdo it the costs are high for travelling and tickets are hight) so we went to a fortified city where the center was rebuilt to 1627. People dressed up. With a group it was okay but the fight was boring to watch so I told Mom I wanted to go home. Like she said those groups from Europe fighting had fun. Camping for 3 or 4 days, making a fire, chatting a bit with other clubs but if you have to travel a long way for that.
We were just in time to get a bus to the station and then two more trains home. I'd rather be home than dragging myself everywhere.
I was home when the torchlight procession started.
