Utrecht Cultural Capital 2018
I am 18!
You can all get a delicious cookie.
Goodmorning, what are these for cookies?
These are delicious 2018 cookies.
We want to be Cultural Capital of 2018.
Are you from Utrecht?
Yes
And do you live here for a long time?
Approximately 6 years.
Uhm, I live...
12 years
In Utrecht my whole life.
About 40 years.
12 years
Uhm, 63 and a half years in Utrecht.
Did you hear something about the Utrecht 2018 campaign?
I've read something about that.
I saw some stickers at the bakery. You gave away cookies I heard.
Yes, but I have no idea what it is.
I think it's a good thing that culture gets attention.
You hear sometimes that culture is not for all people. That's stupid, I think.
Culture?
I only hope it will not cost Utrecht a lot of money.
Yes, I've heard something about that. I forgot it, but now I remember.
If you tell me what it is. Then I can tell you if I know it.
I have more interest in sports.
I think it's a good thing. Why not?
Do you like it, the 18 years you live here?
Yes, I think it's a beautiful city.
Large enough to be of interest
but not too large.
What would you show people first?
I think the canals.
The city centre of course. The centre is the nicest.
The beautiful things that still exist.
I would send them to the Louis Hartlooper Complex
for some nice Dutch or foreign movies.
The St. Nicholas Church, and the other old churches.
Good one, I think about that very often. You have to climb the Dom tower of course.
The dom square, and below. - And I love the old canals.
I think the atmosphere in Utrecht...
Like now, when the weather is nice. Everyone is outside in the park and on the terraces.
I think that does determine Utrecht the most.
What I like, when you walk through the city and you look up you see what beautiful buildings there are.
And I discovered it myself after like 5 years.
What does Utrecht mean to you?
I was born here.
I've lived in Linschoten for a while, but that wasn't going to work out.
I lived there for 6 months, but that made me very sad and lonely.
So I quickly went back.
So Utrecht is really your city? - Yes, there is no way that can not be. No way.
