I just got back from Rotterdam!  My friends and I decided at the last minute to check out one of the largest ports in the world today.  We left in the morning and made it a day trip.  It was a whole lot of walking, but we saw just about everything (except for the zoo). 

We went to the markets, saw the weird-shaped apartments (Kijkkubus in Oude Haven), walked past the White House (Witte Huis where Westermeijer is located) to the Erasmusbridge (Erasmusbrug), saw the canal, went up in the Euromast (what a scary and unbelievable view!), saw St. Laurenskerk Cathedral, walked through Het Park, went into the Chabot Museum, walked through the Chinese District, the shopping center (Beurstraverse) and collapsed into a 30 minute train ride back to Breda.

Here are some photos of the sights:
