Modern Holland

From Amsterdam I caught a one hour train ride south to a newer styled Dutch city, Rotterdam. While Amsterdam was largely untouched by the Germans in WW2, Rotterdam was bombed to the ground. The result of this is that a lot of the buildings are newer, and hence Rotterdam has a lot of interesting architecture.

One of the main attractions in Rotterdam is the new Market Hall. Developed recently, this combination of apartments and street-style markets is quite impressive.

A short walk from here is the cube houses. Literally a bunch of cube homes that people live in...

The city is literally full of impressive buildings.

The sculpture below depicts a man screaming at the sky with a hole in his heart, a memorial to the WW2 bombings that took place here. Ironically, the podium that the statue is standing atop was actually built by the Nazi's as a pedestal for a statue to Hitler, but the war ended prior to it being used.
