Oke oke oke... I know that compared to Canadian and American cities, Rotterdams skyline is small. But did you know that Rotterdam is the ONLY city is Holland with a real skyline?? So you better be proud of it! ;-)
Oh and Rotterdam has no Ikea! Cities surrounding Rotterdam have, but Rotterdam itself hasn't.
