This year Kings Day was celebrated on Zuiderzeeweg as usual with the local residents. People brought their old items, creating a mini flea market. Poffertjes were handed out from a kitchen window – cooked by two residents who spent the entire afternoon continuously baking. In addition, various traditional Dutch games were organized, such as ‘cookie hanging’ and ‘nail pooping’. Especially fun for the international students, who of course didn’t know what was happening when they saw their neighbors blindfolded, biting gingerbread from a rope. Additionally, games like shuffleboard, chess, and spike-ball were played. It was a cheerful, sunny, orange day where many neighbours got to know each other.
