The Netherlands - Rotterdam

So, the next day I had booked a train to go to Rotterdam on this high speed train company called Thalys (which also runs thru to amsterdam, come cities in germany, and paris) Yeah, so I missed my train because I forgot to change the time on my phone which I was using as an alarm clock. but I only had to pay a little to catch a later train and I got put into first class... so that was cool. They served me lunch at least and I got a nice comfy chair!
It only took about 1.5 hours to get to Rotterdam. Because I had taken a later train I was only there for about 5-6 hours I think. So i bought a day pass for transportation and went to this art museum that had some really interesting stuff... both modern and ancient. Probably most notable were works by Dali, Money, Degas... + more
Dutch is such a strange language...
But anyways, after that I walked through this Park to the main attraction of the city which is this big tower called Euromast. Its acutally not THAT big... smaller than a lot of the other towers I've gone up before. It over looked the city so I got to see everything. Rotterdam is known as a big port city (and they actually ahve a really big rivalry with Amsterdam. Rotterdam is the 2nd biggest city in the netherlands, and amsterdam is the largest) There is this rotating elevator type thing that lets you see the city as it raises you higher and higher.
After that, I just wandered around, found my way to these cool little apartmnets called the overblaak development which is basically these cube shaped apartments. A picture would probably describe them better than I could.
Overall, I didn't have enough time to really get any sort of impression ... I was so rushed... but Rotterdam seems like a decent city, a lot less touristy than Amsterdam is. It is konwn for its architecture as well because it was bombed flat during one of the world wars so a lot of it was rebuilt recently.
Took the same train back to Brussels and then made my way onto Bruges that night...
