I was going forward to Rotterdam station after I left the Dordrecht youth hostel that stayed 2 nights. | ||

A young lady came along by bicycle when I
was refilling the camera's battery at the
roadside. "Something happen?. bicycle, break down?" She asked such a thing in Dutch. I do not know the Dutch, but it sounded like that. "No problem, thank you". She waved and went away. There are many kindness people in the Netherlands, Germany and France. |
||
I will start running again. | ||

I arrived at the ferry terminal. | ||

The person in charge of collecting money
was a young Lady who was putting her hand
on the waist such as reflected in the photograph. While I was inquiring "Is this OK?", I paid with a coin. She praised me as "perfect." |

Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) These impressive houses are cube-shaped and are inclined 45 degrees and are optimized to make the best use of available space. As a result, a building with a unique appearance, atmosphere and function that could not be found anywhere in the world was born. Holland.com When residents put furniture inside Kubuswoningen, they may have to arrange them as custom-made items like containers with corners cut in order to get on an airplane. |

Erasmusbrug The Erasmusbrug bridge is a characteristic form of an asymmetrical one-arm pylon and locally called De Zwaan. Designed by Ben van Berkel, opened by Queen Beatrix in 1996. I think that the Netherlands is a country of liberty, the most rational country in the world, the country of highest conscience. |
