At The Hague Market: 'What You Sold Went to the Tax Authority, the Rest to the Junk Market'
Piet van 't Hof, 86, is one of the oldest vendors at De Haagse Markt, the largest open-air market in the Netherlands, where he has sold paint for over thirty years. He attributes his longevity to a daily breakfast of buttered bread with sugar and maintaining a steady work rhythm. His son Peter manages a neighboring stall selling bags and accessories after they moved from Rotterdam due to poor conditions. Piet notes that their paint supplier is relocating to Belgium, which may force him to stop working by age 90, though he remains unafraid of death and views his savings as a legacy for his family.
