The Netherlands is known of its wooden shoes or clogs. ONe of the country's pride. Many years ago the European people wore wooden shoes, the most in Holland because of the swampy ground. It was very popular for a long time everywhere here in the Netherlands and also this time. The farmers wear wooden shoes for the following reasons:
1. for protetion
they won't feel or won't even notice when they are standing on the point of a nail or things but when they are wearing boots or rubber shoes the nails will go through the rubber shoes.
2. easy to wear
they can get in and out from them easily without wasting a lot of time.
3. no sweating foot
they won't sweat in wooden shoes, since it is open the fresh air refreshes the foot
About this Blog
I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.
For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.
Their culture is very interesting.
