Vodafone blackout in the Netherlands

Due to a fire, the Vodafone network has blacked out in the Netherlands. The blackout is now for 2 days and companies are suffering because of it. People not able to use their number, not able to call and take care of business are losing money everyday! Hoping the problem will be solved soon, Vodafone probably have not heard the last of this. People are taking action to make sure this will not happen again and are planning to sue the company.

Stratum,eindhoven, koninginnedag, queensday.

April just started and in april we have a national holiday called koninginnedag (queensday). This day we celebrate the birthday of the mother of our current queen Beatrix. The queen visits a town and does some games and waves to the public, talks to the mayor. There are fleamarkets all over the country and festivities are held everywhere.

In Eindhoven there are a lot of festivities, flea market, games and off course eindhoven is a great town to go out at night. Koninginnenacht (queensnight) is the evening and there are music events everywhere, all people go out that night and have a blast. Eindhoven, especially stratum is a great place to have your koninginnenacht!

April Fools prank of the year

On the news was announced a meteor shower would hit a small town in the netherlands. News, radio, local and nationwide tv were there to witness this event. When all were waiting all of a sudden a smoke cloud rises above the forrest ahead. There apparently was a meadow fire. Luckilly the authorities were already there to guide the public, so they noticed the fire quickly.

So the fire was taken care of and now the public was waiting for the meteorshower to hit. Then all of a sudden planes fly over and parachutist drop. April fools day!!

The media still were glad to be there to broadcast the fire, so it was one good joke!
