Hagenaars are good at talking, preferably a lot and loudly. But there are some things you never hear someone from the royal city say (according to our Facebook followers). Swipe!

‘Those seagulls give such a nice ‘at the sea feeling’ with their screeching at 5 o’clock in the morning’

Seagulls belong to The Hague like Alex belongs to Máx, but sometimes we are a little less happy with these fellow citizens. For example when the young seagulls hatch and learn to fly or when they are after your lunch.

‘What a wonderfully clean city’

It depends a bit on where you walk in our beautiful city, but and sometimes it looks like a bomb has exploded in the street. Clean up your own mess eh 😉
