Sun is shining, temperature is going up and people found their way to the stores to collect a spring/summer wardrobe! Even though its definetely not the time yet to go for a swim, bikinis are way more popular than any other country more in the south.. Could it be that people are obsessed with these items because of the sunshine? I think so.. Holland is known by its long winters and cool summers. Sun is not an everyday thing and especially last weekend, the temperature was nice (15 Celsius) with a lot of sunshine..
Everybody seems to be much more happier and when i was going for a run on sunday i was surprised by the amount of people that were walking, hiking, biking or whatever in the open air. I noticed my mood is extremely more positive as well.. I was used to have sun everyday during my time in Mexico last year and really, you do not get sick of it and you feel the energy rising by the day! We should have a year full of sun too in Holland, but unfortunately, thats one thing human beings don't have any influences on. But well, as long as we have those nice sunny days we better enjoy them for the maximum..
For example, in Holland during spring and summer time people meet on the 'Terrasjes". Sitplaces around bars and cafes where people drink and chill and the most important thing: watching other people walk by and usually make comments about them (mostly negative). Yes, its typically Dutch and i admit, kind of rude. But whats better than checking people out by their strange way of clothing, a jacket that is inside out or just someone with a very bad hairday? With a cold glass of wine, or whatever you prefer, some sunshine on those baby ass white faces of us, life has never been better!

When fall is coming, the "Terrasjes" dissappear, festival season is closed and the beach bars are not a good sight anymore. That's the time the sky turns grey, the streets are filled with leaves and peoples mood changes into kind of depressing because of the sunshine they don't get anymore.. No, i'm really a summer person who loves to be in the sun. I think most Dutch people agree with me and thats the reason everybody likes to buy those 5 pair of bikins, sandals, jumpsuits and other beach- summer wear what we aren't even able to wear it all because of the short summer, but its just a nice view into your "summer" wardrobe!
