So we made some new friends the other weekend at MariCarmen's Office Party Weekend. Mark is the guy in the middle and his girlfriend Kina is on the left. She is (was?) apparently a sushi freak, and loves raw fish. All over the Netherlands are these little fish stands you see in the background, where you can order "yummy" little fish snacks. Hollands Nieuwe is a traditional Dutch treat, and it is just a piece of raw Herring with pin-bones and all (Haring in Dutch) that you eat by tilting your head back and taking bites. Every fish stand in the country (as far as I can tell) has little posters with Smiling Dutch People(tm) enjoying their Hollands Nieuwe. We decided that we would have a little Herring to give us "power" for our upcoming bike ride around Terschelling Island (Mark assured us that "Haring gives you POWER" ;). MariCarmen wasn't up for eating the herring, but the other 3 of us had a piece and made a traditional picture, the advertising rights of which is now available for sale to the highest bidder. Enjoy!
