Memoirs Of A Filipino Sailor: EXPLORING ROTTERDAM

While waiting for a flight to get back in the Philippines, I decided to spent my time exploring every nook and cranny of this city. It wouldn't be helpful for me to be just confined in a small hotel room and waste my time there doing social media . Here are the picture i took while exploring Rotterdam, for the moment i had located some tourist spots around the local hotel I'm staying (called maritime hotel). Maybe one day i'd be so familiar on this place I'd definitely be able to walk and explore the surroundings even more

Officially we had already disembarked on the ship and awaited for our flight schedule back to the Philippines. From what i heard on captain abibba. flight schedule will be on the 23rd december and arrival date will be on christmas eve, In the meantime while waiting for our flight , i took the opportunity to roam around and explore Rotterdam fully. I believe that i shouldn't waste my time just holed up on the hotel room and stick all the time on social media. Funny that some of my crew mates always criticize me for always being locked up inside the cabin, Now it seems that the the situation is now exactly opposite and their the one's afraid to go outside the hotel room. Doesn't matter anyway if they want to stay up - there and waste the time of their lives trapped on a small hotel room doing social media.

This is the picture i got from exploring the whole (or major part of rotterdam city)

Saying Hi and Hello at the same time in Rotterdam

Far west side has a long walk way

The Erasmus bridge near maritime hotel (the hotel I'm staying)

Behold the amphibious bus of Netherlands, basically its a tourist bus . I saw it in youtube that this bus can go thru water, I wish the philippines has these types of bus , as its practical given that most roads here get flooded even on normal rain weather

The whole city map of rotterdam

GOD BLESS UNCLE SAM !!! This is the most iconic fast food on filipino sailors , Definitely a must to visit and eat here

Really tire from all the long hours of walking, had to remove my "Highschool jap outfit" and put it in the closet

Remembering and studying on which part of the city i explore and will be marking the areas on the paper map

Good thing im already familiar in reading a map, according to here a few more kilometers and I'm already on my commercial district

Location of the mall i found , my left point finger pointing it on the map, the other on the lower read arrow is the location of the hotel I am staying

Fuck off batman !! can you see i'm a little bit busy shopping . I can handle myself in shopping - go find another helpless citizen aside to assist with you do gooder !!!

Tony stark seems to be pretty pissed off on customers who just basically do "window shopping" and don't buy something , hmpf probably he just mistook me for a shop lifter of some sort

If apple company would release an ipad this big for 50 U.S. Dollars , I'm still not going to buy that kind of shit - i'd be better off with a plasma TV :D

Cellphones , cellphones, and more cellphones !!! but this time its charged on euros and not dollars

Now this is the collection every pervert needs , i wonder what kind of "preferences" this store has ? bestiality ? , incest ? orgy or the usual BDSM ????

Well santa is off work today and probably buying some toys at best buy to cut some labor cost for the elves

This is a fruits and vegetable store , European style though

Remember when you're in europe (specifically in Netherlands and Belgium) Media mart is the solution to all the shopping needs - well at least on the electronics and communication needs of sailors . This is like the dutch version of "SM mall" in the philippines
