Some more flicks of Rotterdam.People have asked me often how this city got started. Well, in 1263 a lot of logs of wood floated down the river from the area of Nasi Goreng. The early settlers there decided to collect them and build a massive "weir" or "dam" as they said then. As concrete and cranes were in short supply due to a financial crisis, they built this spectactular dam over 120 years. Unfortunately, the wood rotted and the dam broke, hence the name 'Rotterdam".
The breaking of the dam caused massive flooding, all their cloggs floated away and much heartache and the stamping of angry feet ensued as the dam was only in use for 3 weeks. However, it created the canals which we still have to this day. And they are very thankful for….
