Hello Forum

Post by Robert »

My name is Robert and I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Don't really know much about A'dam as I have never really been there for leisure, only work. Should anyone have any questions about Rotterdam, just shoot and I´ll try to answer.

Hey there Robert, i'd love to visit Rotterdam sometime. How is it compared to Amsterdam? I imagine it to be cleaner and more residential?
Breda is my favourite town in Holland so far. I love the shops, the parks and the open air market. Plus i find the people there really nice and friendly. Take it EZ m8, laters. :D

Hi Bethlehem, Tall Guy. Thanks for the welcomes!

How is Rotterdam compared to Amsterdam? Totally different. They are both cities with different city cultures. Amsterdam has lovely old buildings, a bright nightlife and millions of tourists. Rotterdam however was bombed to bits in WW II, so the city center had to be rebuilt. Hence all the modern architecture here. Don't see too many tourists here either. Well, not compared to Amsterdam anyway.
I wouldn't call Rotterdam particularly clean, depends on where in town you go I suppose. The city council recently started a project to clean all the gum from the street in the center though!

As for that song Tall Guy .... don't sing it out loud in Amsterdam ! Might get you in trouble :!:
