Today it the 5th of May. That's the day that the WWII officially came to an end. Right here, in the Netherlands, in Wageningen (the city where I live), was the treaty signed. They always used to make the greatest festival (with live music etc.) and defile (parade of the surviving soldiers) of the NL in Wageningen, until prince Bernhard died a few years ago. Then Den Haag (The Hague) suddenly decided to take over the defile. Since that time Wageningen hasn't got the biggest festival and audience any more.
Too bad, but this doesn't mean I'm not going to have fun! With a couple of friends am I going to walk around and mingle into the (dancing) crowd. We're going to listen to the live music, have fun together and eat lots of ice-cream. And that all because we finally achieved worldwide peace.
WRONG! There is no worldwide peace at all! But you probably already knew that. I'm not going to write about all those horrible things in the world right now. Everyone: just eat lost of ice-cream today - to celebrate that the Netherlands in not a country in war! EAT ICE FOR PEACE! Well, sort of then. It's the thought that counts.
