Bloemencorso Zundert is the largest flower parade in the world entirely made by volunteers. The parade takes place on the first Sunday of September. The floats are large artworks made of steel wire, cardboard, papier-mâché and flowers. In the Bloemencorso Zundert, only dahlias are used to decorate the objects and it takes thousands of them just to cover one float.
If I wanted to live in some kind of magical place, it would definitely be this beautiful fairytale-ish village in Netherlands...

The worst prison in the Netherlands has been converted into a luxury hotel offering guests the experience of being a criminal from $160 per night. Het Arresthuis was a prison for almost 150 years before the prisoners were moved elsewhere in 2007. I definitely wouldn’t mind spending a night here.

These unusual buildings were designed by architect Piet Blom. Several dozens of such cube-shaped houses called Kubuswoningen were built in the Dutch towns of Rotterdam and Helmond in the midlle of the ‘70s. The total area of each house is around 100 square meters (1075 sq. ft.), though about a quarter of the space is unusable due to angled ceilings. In 2009 several cubes were converted into a hostel.
