I had six visitors during my exchange here in Rotterdam. And those lucky six were the recipients of one of the most unscripted, unbiased and uninformative bike tours of Rotterdam of all time. Monica, Gladys, Sandy, Tyler, Angus and Craig got to see first hand most of the interesting things and places that I know of in Rotterdam.
More impressive than my generally-poor descriptions was my unabashed willingness to admit that I actually know nothing about which they were asking. I hope that it has planted the seed of curiosity for them to learn and find out more about Rotterdam (and perhaps pass that knowledge on to me someday).
Amazingly enough, rain was forecasted for everyone's visit yet we didn't get rained on in any significant amounts at all. I am willing to take full credit for this. So really, thanks to me the worst we had to deal with weather-wise was some gusty winds which actually provided some mild, biking entertainment during the course of one of the days.
And I think it shows that everyone had fun too. Looking at the above collage of photos, pretty much everyone has a smile or is at least faking one. You may notice that Tyler does not look like he is smiling at all. I am, however, attributing it to his (self-admitted) inability to smile.
But finally and most important was the introduction of these fine people to krokets, stroopwafels and muesli cereal with mango-flavoured milk. Yeah, that's right. Mango-flavoured milk; don't judge it until you've tried it. It's crazy delicious.
