Although mostly seen as by many people as a alcohol/drinking festival (Germany/Beligium be like: we should hang out some time), there also are some decently large parades with decoraded waggons (Brazil be like: we should hang out some time).

    Aruba was part of the "Nederlandse Antillen" until 1986. We've been a separate constituent country 24 years before they restructured the system for the other islands. Also, for the most luxerious Carnival celebration in the Kingdom you have to go to Aruba. It's astonishing to see how invested people are in Carnaval, with feathers and all that, comparable to a smaller scale Rio celebration. They also celebrate Carnaval in the southern parts of the Netherlands, but it's not the same. People from the south do enjoy it though.

    2:30 actually we switched from orange to red solemnly because red could be seen better on sea so dutch knew who there allies where and the enemies we're scared. During our gold age we we're known to be the "best" in sea wars. This was mostly because our commander Michiel de Ruyter was such a good tactician and made us win most wars.

    Great video! Although, you didn't rectify that William of Orange was not really the first king (he and a lot of descendants had the title of 'stadholder' (which is the replacement of the count')). The Netherlands were a republic after all (one of the few in Europe in the 16th, 17th and 18th century). The Dutch Republic (literaly 'The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands) existed until 1795, when it was conquered by the French Republic and replaced by the Batavian Republic (1795-1806) , the Kingdom of Holland (1806-1810) and complete French occupation (1810-1813). After Napoleon had been defeated, the Netherlands became a kingdom. Many people think that William I (crowned in 1815) was the first king of the Netherlands, but strictly speaking it was actually the brother of emperor Napoleon I, Louis Bonaparte (who was also the father of emperor Napoleon III). He ruled as king of Holland from 1806 until 1810.

    The April fools thingy and it's correlation with the 80 years war is something I doubt about really. But the "war stuff" legend is explained like this: During the Dutch revolt the Spanish Duke of Alva was sent to the low countries to stop them. But on the first of April (in 1572 I think) he lost Brielle, then named Den Briel. When a war officer had to tell this loss to the Duke, he misunderstood the message and he thought that he lost his glasses Op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril Op 1 april verloor Alva Den Briel

Have one beer or more in the borrough Grund next to the Alzette river, I hope it'll be sunny during your stay. If you like hiking, I absolutely recommend you the region called Müllerthal (Mëllerdall) aka the little Luxembourgish Switzerland, although the other regions offer very interesting tours too. Actually, there's a hiking institution in this country: The "Guide Auto-Pedestre Luxembourg". It exists in paper form in a file and online. The Guide contains 201 hiking circuits marked by blue arrows. These circuits have lengths between 3 and 9 miles, roughly.
