  if you are interested, the traditional cheese market is held every Friday between April and September at the Waagplein, where the vendors wear the traditional costumes of their guild.
  
  The cheeses are sold by dealers using a curious system of hand claps. Then the 400 year-old cheese porters' guild launches into action, carrying the cheeses off on barrows after the lot has been weighed at the Waag (the official scales). Meanwhile, if you are mega keen, there's a nearby cheese museum which explains the history of Dutch cheese and exactly what is going on around you.
