Picking up Childhood Memories at Madurodam
Living in the Hague is such a wonderful thing that there is an amazing lot about this city waiting for your explorations and discoveries. Today, a friend of mine from Utrecht visited me and I was wondering where I should take her to. Buitenhof seems a bit too serious for young students. Chinatown only has food and nothing else basically. We certainly cannot enter the Peace Palace whenever we want to. What about Scheveningen? It’s bitterly cold out there by the sea and winter is honestly the worst season to go to the beach. Then I suddenly came up with a place that I wanted to go for a long time but did not make it in the end. Madurodam! I found out some information online this amazing miniature city when I was researching on “what’s special in the Netherlands and why I should choose this country as my destination”. The whole Netherlands is miniatured into a teeny tiny little park and everything was made smaller. People were amazed at the moment when they enter the gate of Madurodam. My friend and I were really excited about this idea for sight-seeing. Tah-dah————Look! This is the (miniature kingdom of) Netherlands!

The problem is, without a comparison with the size of the normal world, one would mistaken those photos for actual sight-eeing pictures quite possibly. Well done Maduro in creating your little kingdom! Look at this seagull in the smaller world. Oh! I almost forgot that there is a place for little pirates! In one corner of the park, there is a paradise for kids. Sand, pirate ships, ropes, and wooden stairs all made this corner interesting. My friend and I acted like over-sized kids (yes we’re catching topic right now). We climbed onto the pirate ships, the hammocks, and even experienced the freedom of flying on a strop ropeway. That’s still not all about the amazing park. We found SWINGS! Childhood memories used to be quite far-away, but today, it came back so naturally … Continue reading
