Will cheese market volunteers soon star in the US? Folk tales from the American television series The Bachelorette

Jan Nieuwenhuizenplein in Edom, popularly known as the Cheese Market, was the setting for this week’s shooting of the American television series The Bachelorette. In this show which attracts about 25 million viewers per episode, men compete in various competitions for the support of a woman. Filming usually takes place in the United States, but this time the producers wanted to produce some European episodes. In addition to Edam, filming will also take place in Amsterdam and Myterslot. It was amazing to see all the American TV people shut their mouths.

He commented on everything in English.

For volunteers, the cheese markets are an immediate good warm-up, which could finally take place again in July and August after a two-year corona interruption. Earlier this month, artists from the Adam Cheese Market took action on the old Dutch weekend in Kyugenhof. They have been photographed by numerous visitors from home and abroad.
