Winkelweek (Shopping week), yes "winkel" means shop or store, maybe some will thought winking ha!ha! :)... This week is Winkelweek Winschoten, we walked along the shopping stores in Langestraat...
I remeber way back in Manila, shopping stores are always busy that's why store hours are open around 9:00 in the morning to 9:00 in the evening. And open everyday (except Holidays) especially Sunday is like a shopping day for families ha.....
Here in Holland it's completly different, i haven't mention yet the store hours here are between 9:00am to 6:00 pm, yes almost all the store here closes at exactly 6:00pm. Also here, stores are open only from Monday to Saturday, take note, stores and supermarkets are CLOSED on Sundays (except on special occasion like Winkelweel) so in case on Sunday, you noticed your cooking oil is not enough or something you need, then of course, you can still buy some in Gasoline stations stores, which is always open of course even on Sunday. And before I forgot every Monday, all ordinary stores will open at 1:00 in the afternoon, except for the Supermarkets, they open in the morning.... I still don't know why they have limited store hours and days here, unlike in Philippines, where the stores are open as more hours as they can.... Happy shopping!
