I spent a day wandering around Rotterdam with some new friends. Had a delicious lunch at an organic, seasonal restaurant that gives cooking lessons and then went to a museum with a very long name. It had a fantastic collection of traditional and modern art. The city itself is unlike the other cities I've visited here because it was almost completely destroyed by the Nazi Luftwaffe one night in 1940. The result is a much more modern feeling city, and in many ways similar to the feel of American cities. Rotterdam used to be the biggest port in the world until it was superseded by Shanghai in 1994.
