The term "going dutch" takes on an entirely new meaning every two months when the Rotorua Netherlands Society holds its market day.
Hundreds of people take the opportunity to gezellig (have a good time) and experience a taste of the Netherlands when they visit the markets.
Rotorua Netherlands Society treasurer Frans Schaeffers said the markets held at Neil Hunt Park clubrooms were busier than usual.
He said the markets were usually packed early, as people come to ensure they do not miss out on olie bollen (Dutch doughnuts).
Mr Schaeffers said demand was so high for these delicacies people practically had to order them.
