Nice to hear from new locals. You are very welcome. Thank you for your contribution. Kind regards from Uden, Netherlands.

Great tour! It's so awesome to live somewhere where you can do little adventures like this on any day. I really like those public markets.

Welcome to Rotterdam! Katendrecht is a cool neighborhood, I often walk there during my lunch breaks :)

@user-wf7zg9bh1v 7 месяцев назад

Hi Michelle & Alex, Your videos are really nice, i love watching them. The coffee place you were referring to in the beginning isn't called Coffee So So, it is called Kopi Soesoe (pronounce as Kopee soosoo or susu) which is Indonesian for Coffee with Milk (Kopi Susu). Due to history there is a strong connection with Indonesia in Holland, and there are much Indonesian influences in Holland. Greetings from (salam dari) Bali - Indonesia

Hi there, nice video. BTW, did you know that Katendrecht used to be the red-light district of Rotterdam until the 70ies?

@buncharted Год назад

REALLY? that is so interesting! it’s such a beautiful little neighborhood.

@eddys.3524 Год назад

@@buncharted Yes, really... In those days it also was a quite empoverised neighborhood. The municipality back then thought they could wipe out prostitution in the city by closing down all brothels in Katendrecht. They were wrong, because prostitution spread over the city and problematic forms of prostitution also emerged. Katendrecht on the other hand got renovated and has become the nice place you know.

@hannekehartkoorn5987 Год назад

Katendrecht was one of the first Chinatowns in Europe!

i walked through the maastunnel once...perfect setting for a horror movie...every other time i went on my bicycle, thats less creepy

@@buncharted when you are in the deepest of the tunnel you donts see the daylight of the opening at the end

@dutchuncle3310 Год назад

I’m a bit surprised you mispronounce Binnen Rotte and correctly pronounce Rotterdam. The Rotte is the river Rotterdam was named after. The Binnen ( inside) Rotte is where it used to run. Rotte is pronounced exactly the same as Rotter - dam. By the way if you think the Park near the Euro mast is massive try the Kralingse Bos sometime.

Katendrecht used to be the ghetto close to maashaven and africanplein. Nice to see the juppies took over and turned it into a nice place. It used to be a rough corner.

@michalovesanime Год назад

Yeah really nice that all the people who lived there can no longer afford to, and their communities were ripped apart. There was probably no way to respect the locals, who often had nothing to do with the crime, while making things better🙄. Nice to see how solidarity works in our city. You people are cruel. Really cruel.

@janjanssen9629 Год назад

@@michalovesanime - the area was a no go zone, now it is livable, and you complain? If the “community” took care of their surroundings, the change would not be needed…

@ageoflove1980 Год назад

A bit too heavy on the hipster food for my taste. I mean sure, its probably good, but that type of food is pretty much available in every large city. Rotterdam is a legendary "down to earth" place where much of the traditional working class folks would probably just laugh about "trendy" food items and would say thats the sort of thing snobs from Amsterdam would eat. Review a Kapsalon! A real Rotterdam dish, invented by a hairdresser who always ordered a custom meal at the kebab shop next door, hence the name.

@buncharted Год назад

we have a separate dutch food vlog coming up so tried to keep it separate - don’t worry, that video will have kapsalon!!!
