That's why many neighborhoods end on -quarter

that's-why-many-neighborhoods-end-on-quarter

In The Hague we have the Zeeheldenkwartier, Valkenboskwartier, Regentessekwartier, Laakkwartier, Beatrixkwartier, Geuzen and Statenkwartier. Have you ever thought about why these neighborhoods and districts all end in -quarter?

We use quarters to indicate part of the time, but also parts of a city.

Therefore:

Quarter comes from the French word quartier (quarter) and that means part of the bigger picture. So, for example, a neighborhood or district. Maybe those parts used to be about a quarter of the city?

Playful Katniss is looking for an owner and a buddy

playful-katniss-is-looking-for-an-owner-and-a-buddy

The Haags Dierencentrum is looking for a quiet home for this cute, playful kitten. Preferably one where a social cat already lives, who warmly welcomes Katniss and is happy to share her or his palace and staff.

Katniss loves other cats and a social cat could also give her a little support. She is a bit scared in the shelter, which is why they are looking for a quiet home without small children. She finds approaching exciting, but petting is quite nice. She will certainly appreciate a fenced off garden or balcony.

Do you think you can offer Katniss what she needs and is the cat of the house ready? Mail quickly to Tell us something about your family situation, whether you have had cats before, whether a social cat is already present, etc. You will then be called , but it may take a while due to the busyness of the department.

Tip: there will be an exhibition about seaweed in Scheveningen

tip:-there-will-be-an-exhibition-about-seaweed-in-scheveningen

Scheveningen will host a real seaweed exhibition. What will you see there? Slippery green wisps! But seaweed is of course much more than that.

Seaweed is sometimes referred to as the crop of the future. We now mainly know it from Sushi, but algae including seaweed also produce 25% of our oxygen.

Weed

In Muzee Scheveningen is from 12 January 2023 the exhibition Weed. There you find out that seaweed is so much more than a dark green skin around your sushi. Did you know, for example, that there is a seaweed farm off our coast?

What exactly can you see in the exhibition? You will see fashion made with seaweed and all kinds of dishes with food from the sea. Cooking workshops with seaweed are also given and all kinds of artists show how they are inspired by the slippery green strings.

Muzee is open Wednesday through Sunday from 15. until 17.00 hour. Entrance costs for adults 8,25 euros and for children between 4 and 15 year 4,50 euros.

. There were lines out the door for days. After that, another five branches were opened in the Netherlands and number six will be added this year. When exactly the location opens is still the question. In any case, there is a lot of work going on, so it won’t take long.
