I'd definitely use your posts as the official guides when I visit the cities you wrote abt. You have combined my love for desserts (food in general) and travel in one place!

You have me reminiscing like mad! I was based in Amsterdam when I was assigned to the Netherlands but we would love having meetings in Rotterdam. It's an amazing city alright, and what a port...we interviewed a company located at the end of the port and my god going from end to end was like going to Tagaytay or Batangas! The company we met with had an automated terminal so the huge containers were being stacked with nary a soul in sight! Sigh...and I know what you mean about the bikes...I feared for my life...
