Speaking exercise

I think it’s a really special country in Europe, i’ve traveled a lot of countries, holland’s not my favorite country but what i did there I think I will remember forever. I went there with a crazy friend, she’s very crazy. When we arrived in the capital of Holland, which is Amsterdam, it was a very special day where the queen was crowning the new king. WE didn’t know it was the queens day so when we went outside it was very crowded with people wearing orange things, and there was no traffic, no cars, no buses, no bicycles. Where we lived was a little bit far away from the center so we needed to walk for almost two hours to arrive, because it was the queen’s day and all the citizens were so crazy, they burned the cars and jumped into the river, we were very scared. At last, we arrived in the city center, after three hours of walk. We also did many things, we ate some special cakes. My friend started to cry and laugh.
