The Netherlands are an old and accomplished seafarer Nation, and a great water sports place in general. So, no surprise that even in Tilburg, you find the Dutch version of a Dragonboat Race. Obviously the side shows are not so Asian, but also go along with a lot of fun, happiness and cheering. I went with a group of students from the Master in International Management programme at Tilburg University. This time we were just audience. But I think, next year we should be in the competition.
Dutch races of Dragonboats are equally fierce to Chinese ones ...
... and cheerfull ...
... with flower power, everywhere.
