Cultural Note
The Dutch weekend question 'Wat ga je dit weekend doen?' is one of the most common Friday conversations. Dutch weekends often revolve around 'gezelligheid' — visiting family, going to terraces, cycling, or taking day trips. Many shops are now open on Sundays, though this was controversial when first introduced.
