Euro 2014 - Amsterdam Party Series - Kings Day
King's Day is a BIG DEAL in the Netherlands. Basically the whole country celebrates the King's birthday with a big party that lasts for 24 hours. It's uniquely Dutch. According to my son-in-law it captures the three critical values the Dutch hold dear - Selling, Thrift, Drinking. The event is a curious combination of a party that is city wide starting the night before, with a break during the next morning for the single tag sale the city has all year, followed by another afternoon of partying.
