I was born not far from Leeuwarden, in a city called Workum. And yes, the people there can speak both Dutch and Frisian. Most can also speak English and part of the people can speak German and French. If you want a province in the Netherlands and speak your own language, the best opportunity you will have is in Friesland. 10:58 that black tower is called the 'Achmeatoren', Achmea being a insurance company and 'toren' is tower in English. Build in 2002 and is 115 meter tall. Not all offices in the tower are in constant use. The large windows on the top floor is a panorama floor where you can see in almost 360 degrees over the city and landscape. I do not know if it's always opened, I never been up there. I do know that during storms the large panels could come lose due to a construction malfunction, it did happen a few times a huge panel came crashing down. 11:18 That metal can was once used to collect milk from the farms to take it to milk factories. Each factory having their own variant and lit. When they stopped using them locals could purchase them and use them as they wished. Both white bikes are actually work bikes, they were used to carry pretty sizable things from place to place within the city or even to nearby villages. Anne Vondeling was a politician en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Vondeling 14:54 The market down there is a week market, only once a week it will be there. Although there are other markets as well in this city. 19:07 Those boats serving as sitting areas are actually new, this is so far I'm aware the first season that they are in use (at least I haven't seen them last year and not living in the area anymore since last october) 36:54 That building behind you is the courthouse. Well part of it as on your right side there is another part of it. If you have a traffic violation and you need to visit the courthouse in Leeuwarden, then you will end up in the building behind you most likely. 1:58:09 That would be a 'schandpaal'. It could be placed outside or inside depending on what the punishment would be. In general your head goes trough the center hole and your wrists trough the other 2 holes. If it was inside you were lucky to some form. However if it was placed outside then other people could throw rotten fruit, rotten tomatoes, rotten eggs and such things at you. Which would make it a worse punishment. The whole time you were in this thing you would be standing and the top part would be locked with a thick sturdy lock so you couldn't get out until they took you out.
