yeah we went up in the Euromast tower thing, and it was such an amazing view of the city... I got some great pictures...
but those apartments... I was so blown away by how cool they were... I SOOOO wanted to see the inside... so we looked around a bit, and low and behold, one of them is a museum that you can go in... it was awesome!!

I've never been there myself, at least not that i can remember (I live deep down in the south of holland and have never had any reason to go there). Of course I've seen loads of pics of the city but I was just curious of the pics Funkmaster made.

I don't really like rotterdam. Well, it's probably a fun place to visit for a day or so. And i must admit there is alot of great architecture. And nice museums and whatnot. (the rotterdam pathé movietheater also has the largest screen i've ever seen in a cinema! It's fantastic!).
But i studied in rotterdam for 5 years... and it's (imo) just not a nice place to come to everyday. It can feel cold, and lacks atmosphere. Not enough old buildings left either... the whole city just doesn't feel "cozy" like some other big cities do!
But hey funkmaster, if you saw the kubuswoningen, you probably also saw 'my' artacademy :-p They're only like a 100 metres apart.

disagreed.
it has it's own, strange atmosphere.
the city seems scattered in some strange way. I love how when you step out of central station, you're enveloped by these huge office buildings - such a strange experience.
no, I really like it. it has it's own taste.

And if you really knew your hardcore, you'd say "I thought this thread was about Rotterdam records"
and then you could sing:
"Rotterdam takes it up the arse... doo daa doo daa... Rotterdam takes it up the arse.. doo daa doo daa day!!!!!!!!"

well, between Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Den Haag (I guess the three main cities of The Netherlands which I've visited) Rotterdam was my most enjoyable visit so far... those apartments just were the coolest thing ever... and the Euromast had such a great view... too bad the weather sucked... but it still rocked...
I'm sure once I see the Red Light District in Amsterdam I'll change my mind about my favorite city! :)
