Spring? Summer?




On Monday, Spring came quite suddenly. And it wasn't just the temperature, though for the first time (other than one freak day in February) one could indeed walk around in a T-shirt. I don't know if it was because of the weather or just some sort of coincidence, but every restaurant and cafe put out their terraces on exactly the same day. They fill the streets and squares and in turn are filled with people. It feels like there's a festival going on all the time (and there actually is a national party/holiday, "Queen's Day", next week). There are red lanterns strung over all the main streets, there seems to have been this surge of people...




Where did they all come from?


Don't they have jobs?


Or other places to be?
