Living in Rotterdam – What’s good and what’s bad… so far…

Rotterdam
The good stuff:
- It’s a heaven for bicycles. You can get everywhere on a bike and not be threatened by other vehicles. Lots of parking spaces. Almost no hills (only suspension bridges).
- The days are longer so in the summer you can still catch some healing sun rays when coming late from work.
- The summers are colder so you don’t have to wear T-shirts all the time and still sweat like a pig.
- People are very tolerant and almost all of them speak English.
- Very colorful mixture of races and nationalities.
- High percentage of spank-able female asses among all races.
- Freedom of choice is on the highest level in all universe(talking about prostitution, substance consumption and vaccination).
The bad stuff:
- Way to much “in-your-face” Islam. You don’t even notice any other religions apart from old catholic/protestant churches.
- Houses resemble too much. Red bricks are everywhere and it’s easy to get lost.
- Straight people are not welcome at gay parties.
- Language is pretty weird(although it becomes rather interesting when you learn it).
