Hondeweer

One of the most, if not THE most, important subject to talk about in the Netherlands is the weather. And there are dozens of different Dutch words to describe the weather. Fun fact: the rain inspired three students of the TU Delft and in 2006 they developed the Senz umbrella which is still available at the TU Delft shop in the Aula.
