5 TYPICAL KING'S DAY GOERS

Traditionally, we gather at my house every year. Six girlfriends and their partners who are up for it. Well, actually, we meet at my parents' house in the Jordaan, because that's where it's the most fun on King's Day. You have to arrive a bit hungover, otherwise you don't participate. That's easy, because we always spend the night together and it gets wild. The eight hours of sleep are definitely not achieved, but still, everyone is always there for breakfast. With a glass of bubbles. And the diehards among us keep going until the sun goes down again. What kind of King's Day partygoer are you?

1. The person who drinks an insane amount and god knows what else they consume and bounces around for two days. In between, he or she actually sleeps little to none.

2. The type that has boxes labeled “King's Day” all year round and counts down the days to the moment they can start a stall at 7 in the morning. Blood fanatic about selling and also deposits everything neatly in the bank the next day.

3. You also have the seller who starts but gives up in the afternoon, folds up their table, and goes off to spend those few tens they just earned.

4. The person who actually doesn't feel like it and decides what to do a minute beforehand. Or you do exactly the same thing every year and stick to that tradition forever.

5. You could also be the one who drops out by two in the afternoon because you're too drunk. Every year again.
