Strand aan de Maas

Tijdens de recente hittegolf leek het mij verstandig om wat verkoeling te zoeken op het strand. Ik had echter geen zin om uren in de file te staan en koos voor de luxe van het strand aan de Maas.

Many European countries don’t have such a mechanism, instead people start walking with all their stuff when the train arrives. As if they “just” discover that the train stops further. A gamble every time.

Great little essay research (pdf & dutch) material!

Conclusion so far is “more research” and “getting first at the door ideas”..
