Queen's Day [ Koninginnedag ]

Hallo!

  Last year, same date was first experience of queen's day in the Netherlands. I had my orange wig on, I wore orange clothes. The gang here in Enschede wanted to go to 'Den Haag' to 'try something new' because in the previous years they've been to Amsterdam. Well, to be frank, here in Enschede too they celebrate but hey, you can't say NO to big cities yeah? Especially when you're new, and you've heard stuff about the place\celebration.
Let me say, the experience was pretty bad. We were disappointed coz there weren't any real celebrations in Den Haag. Didn't feel like queen's day at all. [Just to make it clear, Den haag is like 4 hours away from Enschede] So much time wasted... & after walking there for a while, we decided to take a train to Amsterdam [though it was really late!]
We Reached Amsterdam, it was 8.30 pm? We could only see the wastes on the streets. Party was over. [We somehow managed to participate in a party but yeah it was the last i guess].
I was however, happy with my wig.

 Today, we were fully prepared. Going to Amsterdam straight away, no time to waste. Started off with a little group but when we were there, we were a huge group.
Partying, not really my thing. I figured today that I suffocate in crowded areas. I just enjoyed the company of the bunch we were hanging out with. Cracking jokes, taking pictures, and walking around. 5 hours were enough for me. 
Came across lots' of people.. Seen different new costumes [Esp. Slender 'men' not MAN .. in orange]

Had a lovely dinner in an Egyptian restaurant [Reminded me of Oman a lot! <3 ]
 back home.. exhausted!

These are some awesome memories :')
my unborn children. Your mom blogs... u can read this in the future.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Actually this year the queen doesn't want to be the queen anymore, so yeah her son became the king. It's supposed to be called king's day but I don't know everyone's saying queen's day!
I love Netherlands<3
