Took an hour or so train ride to Rotterdam today. Rotterdam is in stark contrast from amsterdam, the two cities feel nothing alike. The once great city was completely destroyed during WWII, so all the buildings are pretty new. Rotterdam is known for its amazing modern skyscrapers and futuristic buildings. It is also known for its big business, and for having the worlds second largest shipping port. We went and saw these famous "cube houses" that were really cool looking, but make me dizzy to look at. The whole city seemed to be under construction. They were building skyscrapers left and right as well as new roads. We could not find much to do here other than admiring the modern skyline and viewing the endless number of shops and shopping malls. But we did get some cool photos, and I get to add a new city to my list. Also we ate some stroopwaffles which are like flattened sandwiches with Carmel and waffles... Yum.

The guy at the table was George Clooney, he was kinda an ass, but Julie Roberts was sweet.
Well, most cool - Hi, Eben here again; long time listener, first time caller, love the show.
Your low-fi techno method is most cool, and very familiar - I not only blog on this here site, but all my photos are stored at Photobucket as well, so imagine my pleasure!
Keep it coming! Would say more, but gotta go throw the ball for the dog, who yesterday, when I was on the roof looking things over, climbed onto the hot tub cover with her ball and dropped it there, so that it would be easier for me to pick up from the roof, you see...
awwww... We miss our little doggy. Give her hugs for us.
Roger that and will do!
