As usual, there were a lot of April Fools jokes made yesterday in The Netherlands. Here are a few examples:
Unfortunately it is just an April Fool’s joke. Tourists are notorious for trampling tulips just to get the perfect selfie. In response to this The Tulip Barn in Hillegom created a “selfie garden” in 2021 to allow visitors to take photos in a specially created area, complete with Dutch props. That is pretty cool, actually.
The tweet below is in Dutch, but it basically says that elevator accidents caused by drunk passengers have increased by 24% since 2020. Therefore, the Lift Instituut in The Netherlands has banned elevator use by people who have had more than two glasses of alcohol (thereabouts).
And finally, if you’re an international living in The Netherlands with a bike, prepare to get a biking license…
I guess it is a good thing I don’t have a bike, right?
