Fully Dutch

We finally reached the last stage of (re)-integration in Holland: we now have parallel window decoration.

It's scary but if you move to Holland you slowly pick up Dutch habits and customs, like eating ontbijtkoek for breakfast and cheese on bread for lunch. Or cycling as an adult on ancient looking bike. Or asking personal questions, and lots of it. Or giving your opinion and wanting you life to always be 'gezellig' (cozy,  warm, nice) or go on holiday to France. But the ultimate sign of living Dutch is....decorations in your window. Hey...it's important! In Holland we only use curtains at night, if we use them at all, because during the day people must see how gezellig your house is!
We love our window decoration.
