A walk through the skyscrapers of Rotterdam

I walked around Rotterdam today and it was great! For its size, Rotterdam really has incredible sky scrapers and I really liked them. Being in Europe, it’s actually been a while since I’ve walked by soooooooo many sky scrapers that are close by each other. If I remember correctly Paris is the only other city that had so many big buildings close together. Anyways so yeah it was fun. There were also a lot of nice little river paths created through out the city which made my LONG walk that much more enjoyable. People don’t speak English as much here as they did in Amsterdam (which isn’t a surprise) but I met a lot of really nice people while I was walking around. The people of Rotterdam seem to be very proud of their city and justifiably so. After a REALLY nice dinner near the docks I went back to the hotel. I was planning on making it in time to go watch the 12:45 am show of the ‘english version’ of The Incredibles but work really took a long time today!!! Anyways that’s what I’m getting paid to do after all so I guess I shouldn’t complain hahaha. Anyways the movie theatre here was also architecturally brilliant which was one of the reason I had wanted to watch there but ah well that didn’t happen. I got to have fun working with TV signals instead! Tomorrow we’re gonna head to Brussels and most likely stop off at the windmill city of Kinderdijk on the way.
