Introduce Your Hometown: Middelburg (the Netherlands)
Hi Steemit and dear followers!
Today I saw a fellow Dutchman ( @ernstjan ) post about his hometown using the hashtag #introduceyourhometown. Originally this idea came from @redtravels and I would like to join in by introducing my hometown to those that search on the hashtag!
A while back I wrote a short series about my hometown Middelburg. It is the region capital of the province of Zeeland. That's why New Zealand is new! Anyway, I'm not just going to copy+paste everything I wrote here, but I rather share the links to all separate posts here. I'd also like to share some pictures of my nice little town here that I haven't used in my short series, but still are worth showing.
Enjoy the posts and pictures!

Episode 4: Leisure and activities
An overview of Middelburg. From here you can see the most important sights: the abbey and Lange Jan belltower, the city hall, the Oostkerk (East Church) and the channel that runs through the city.

Looks like a neat little town. How many people live there @rvanstel? I'm stealing your idea and presenting my hometown - Varna, Buglaria. I'm probably the first one here with a Steemit account haha
