Yes, I'm in Rotterdam! I started working at the university here in September. I like it as a city. It sort of gets a bad rap, but I think it's a fun place to live. There's a lively nightlife and good museums, and nice places to live as well. So are you moving here in February, or staying in Utrecht? Let me know if you…
