The land of Hilversum

Some pics I've taken throughout the weeks of lovely Hilversum and all it has to offer. The first image is the street I walk down to go to work each morning. The second is a close up of typical Dutch homes. Each has a large window and supposedly if the curtains are open it means protestants live there and they want to show they have nothing to hide. If the blinds are closed they are Catholic. The last image is a look back on the street from the bridge I cross.





Below are images of Media Park where I work. We like to refer to it as Hillywood because it's where all the famous Dutchy's come, although I couldn't tell you a famous Dutch actor from anyone else. But it's still exciting. No? The colourful building is the museum in Media park, one of the first buildings you see as you enter, and the second image of the white building is where I work.




This is a typical street in Hilversum filled with small shops. The red brick sidewalk is the bike road; never walk on this if you want to stay safe.



And finally some frozen canals and "snow." It hasn't actually snowed here, just the trees have frosted over and the frost begins to flake off creating a bit of powder; although I am told it's mostly from pollution. The last image are a bunch of kids playing on the frozen canal with their doggies.
