World of the Frisians

A good way to understand the Frisians is to know the way they make a living. The Frisians economy is primarily based on agriculture. There are many Frisians that work on small family farms that are located inland, they raise crops or dairy cattle. The Frisians love to enjoy there free time outdoors. They love to go camping, hiking, but there is one unique past time activity that they do love to do and that is called "wadlopen" which is mud walking throughout the salt flats, as this event sounds fun its often done in an organized group outing. Believe it or not as there is time for fun there is also time for education. In Frisia children age six to sixteen go to school either public or private. By the age of 12 the students take an exam that qualifies them for general, pre-university, or vocational school. There is no university but they do offer higher education.
