Last Friday it was Queensday here in Holland.
We celebrate the birthday of our queen by dressing in orange and drinking beer in the streets. Its my favourite holiday by far! One of the traditions is that people sell their used stuff on 'freemarkets' in the street. On these markets a lot of kids showcase their instrumental skills in hope of earning some change from the people passing by.
The kid in the picture really ruled! He only had a toy drum which he was beating with his hand.
Both his rhythm and the look in his eyes were not from this world. But nonetheless he sure was making more money then all the other older kids who were playing Bach and Beethoven on their violins and keyboards!
I even managed to not buy one single old crappy camera on the freemarket this year. And I'm still not sure if I think that's a good thing.
The 5th of may is the next freemarket (we then celebrate our freedom after WWII), let's see if I can stay 'clean'.
Hahaha, he's so cute! He looks like he could run off sobbing in a minute though :o
