001_koninginnedag


[NL] Koninginnedag is Queen’s day in the Netherlands. On 30 April of every year, Dutch people will dress up in orange and get out of their house to celebrate this national holiday outdoor. It is an interesting phenomenon to see Dutch urban landscapes filled up with orange colour everywhere. The colour is a symbol of the nation, which stems from the royal family name – The Family Nassau, House of Orange. A similar spectacle could be found when the Dutch national football team hits the stadium. Learn more about koninginnedag at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koninginnedag
