The Hague, Netherlands : Looking for the centre of Europe
Entrepreneurship lives everywhere in Europe. Many of us have the ambition to get things moving, be it in business, culture, society or innovation.
One of the thing that strikes us as we continue our search, is the strong sense of place that that prevails throughout the projects people start.
One of these places is The Hague in The Netherlands.

HOLLAND: Japanese Garden Clingendael - The Hague [HD]
This Japanese Garden has been created early 20th century by the owner of the estate Clingendael, baroness Marguerite van Brienen (1871-1939), known as Lady Daisy.
During her travels in Japan she has tried to grasp the unrivalled character and the aesthetic beauty of the gardens she visited.
Back in the Netherlands she created her own interpretation of a Japanese style garden. The character of the garden is very unique, augmented by the layers of moss.
It is the only Japanese Garden from around 1910 in the Netherlands and it is considered to be of great historical importance.
The Japanese Garden is located at Clingendael park, between The Hague and Wassenaar.
It is the largest Japanese garden in the Netherlands with an area of 6800 m2.
The Japanese Garden is only open to the public for several weeks each year because of the fragile state of the plants and mosses (April 30th to mid-June).
-----------------------------------------------
Typical features of Japanese gardens, in addition to residential architecture, are:
- water, real or symbolic
- rocks or stone arrangements (or settings)
- a lantern, typically of stone
- a teahouse or pavilion
- an enclosure device such as a hedge, fence, or wall of traditional character
- a bridge to the island, or stepping stones
Green plants are another element of Japanese gardens. Japanese traditions prefer subtle green tones, but flowering trees and shrubs are also used. Many plants in imitated Japanese gardens of the West are indigenous to Japan, though some sacrifices must be made to account for the differentiating climates.
Stones are used to construct the garden's paths, bridges, and walkways. A water source in a Japanese garden should appear to be part of the natural surroundings. Man-made streams are built with curves and irregularities to create a serene and natural appearance. Lanterns are often placed beside some of the most prominent water basins (either a pond or a stream).
Though often thought of as tranquil sanctuaries that allow individuals to escape from the stresses of daily life, Japanese gardens are designed for a variety of purposes. Some gardens invite quiet contemplation, but may have also been intended for recreation, the display of rare plant specimens, or the exhibition of unusual rocks.

Fabienne goes to THE HAGUE
Last weekend my family and I spent a few restful days in the Hague to escape from the everyday life. I recorded some of my favorite moments and created this little video. Unconsciously most footage shows food or food markets. But I promise I will try to create more versatile footage for my next video! Enjoy!

Dutch family 'waiting for end of time' found in secret room - BBC News
A family who spent nine years on a farm waiting for the end of time have been discovered by police in the Netherlands after one of them turned up at a local pub, reports say.
A man of 58 and six young adults aged 18 to 25 were living at a farm in the province of Drenthe.
The family were found after the eldest of the children ordered beer at a bar in the nearby village of Ruinerwold.
He then told staff he needed help, broadcaster RTV Drenthe reported.
We found six people living in a small space in the house which could be locked but wasn't a basement, police said in a statement late on Tuesday.
The older man has been arrested. According to the family, he is the father of the six children, say police. It was not clear whether they had been there voluntarily, police added. The eldest son was not there at the time, police told the BBC.

Aung San Suu Kyi Represents Myanmar Against Rohingya Genocide Case at UN Criminal Court
▶️ Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is seated at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague which has opened a hearing into accusations of genocide brought against Myanmar over the military's brutal 2017 crackdown against the Rohingya Muslims, Tuesday, December 10.
????The hearings are based on a lawsuit filed last month at the United Nations-sponsored court in The Hague by the small West African nation Gambia, on behalf of the 57-member Organization for Islamic Cooperation. Gambia is accusing Myanmar of violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.
Aung San Suu Kyi is expected to address the court on Wednesday.
More than 700,000 Rohingyas fled across the border into Bangladesh in August 2017 to escape a scorched earth campaign launched by the Myanmar military in response to attacks on security posts by Rohingya militants in western Rakhine state. A U.N. investigation concluded the campaign was carried out with genocidal intent, based on interviews with survivors who gave numerous accounts of massacres, extrajudicial killings, gang rapes and the torching of entire villages.
The Rohingya were excluded from a 1982 citizenship law that bases full legal status through membership in a government-recognized indigenous group. The Myanmar government considers the Rohingya illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, effectively rendering the ethnic group stateless.

Een terugblik op surfdorp FAST in Scheveningen (2009-2014)
Meer foto's en verhalen over FAST op fast.roots2share.nl
Op een braakliggend terrein aan het einde van de Scheveningse boulevard creëert een groep jonge surfers in 2009 het surfdorp FAST. Surfers, ondernemers, kunstenaars en toevallige passanten bouwen het dorp vanuit een gedeelde passie voor de zee. FAST groet uit tot een levendige ontmoetingsplaats voor jong en oud, locals en toeristen. Onlangs besloot de Haagse gemeenteraad dat het surfdorp haar deuren op deze locatie eind 2014 moet sluiten. Met dit einde in zicht blikken sleutelfiguren van FAST terug op een unieke plek en periode uit hun leven.

Waag je aan het mysterie van Doctor Watsons in Escape Room Rotterdam. Lukt het jullie om de weg terug te vinden in de donkere kelders van de Arminiuskerk? Duizenden mensen gingen je voor, en minder dan de helft wist uiteindelijk te ontsnappen….
Doctor Watsons daagt jou en je vrienden uit voor een real life game in de mysterieuze kelder van de Arminiuskerk. Het historische monument naast de Witte de Withstraat. De escape rooms voelen aan alsof je teruggaat in de geschiedenis van de kerk en Rotterdam. Het avontuur neemt je mee naar vervlogen tijden in de 19e eeuw, al zijn de oplossingen voor de raadsels hedendaags.
Beide kamers zijn gevuld met raadsels, cryptogrammen en échte hersenbrekers. Rotterdam Escape Room biedt een geweldige ervaring met vrienden, familie of collega’s!
Binnen de escape rooms is samenwerken belangrijk. In beide kamers bevinden zich aanwijzingen en attributen om mysteries te ontrafelen en om je weg naar buiten op tijd te vinden. Communicatie is hierin de ‘key’. Wanneer je goed met elkaar communiceert is de kans groter dat jullie de opdrachten halen en op tijd de escape rooms kunnen verlaten.

This week IT finally happened // WEEK 26 - The Netherlands - Zeeland
We spent this week in The Netherlands, in the province of Zeeland. Parts of this province are below sea level, and there is water everywhere. We visited highlights such as Domburg, Vlissingen and Middelburg.
Our first stop of the week was near the Scheldt river, where the banks are getting dry during low tide and beautiful 'beaches' appear. Many beautiful things happen unexpectedly, this evening it was the case as well. However kids were already in pyjama, we went out to check out the parts of beach dried by the low tide, and we enjoyed beautiful moments with the sun going down.
We then crossed to the next and main peninsula of Zeeland, where we had a little city hopping visiting the beautiful and picturesque cities of Middelburg (capital of Zeeland) and Vlissingen.
We needed some rest afterwards, so we went to the beaches around Domburg. What a beautiful nature spectacle. No buildings, no restaurants nor toilets, just nature and our camper Seal 5 from Rimor. Luckily we had him close to him, so we could enjoy our stay on the beach without loosing our comfort.
