 "Eat fish because it is
healthy" by rsilva
I have lived in the Netherlands for almost 5 years now and it still gives me the goosebumps to see someone push a raw fish down the throat.
If you are in Leiden on a Saturday you must walk down to the end of the market and at least look at people while they perform this ritual. If you are really brave, you can try it yourself. You can start by eating the version on bread.
There is also often a stand in front of the station that sells it. Leave a Comment

The second or third of October is a festival in Leiden. Wonderful experience, all the bars cover the sky between the houses, on the usually pretty narrow streets. And everyone is out drinking and dancing on the streets. Wonderful experience Leave a Comment

Many of the streets of the central section of Dutch towns are quite narrow. Because of that, the restaurants in Leiden have come up with a unique spin on the outdoor café. By mooring a couple of barges against the buildings they created instant patios. The Dutch are ever inventive about making the most of their land (and waterways). Leave a Comment
