Hi
I will be arriving in Rotterdam at the end of August 2007 on a cruise ship for the day with my fiance. I have already been to Amsterdam several times, so will give that a miss this time, and wondered if anyone could recommend things to do and see in Rotterdam.

Hello Rotterdam,
I'm going to be there from 5th to 30th June and would like to meet as many local members as I can. I dont have my roaming cell no yet but if you give me your contact details I will contact you.
Regards
Surjit

HI!
I believe the bus journey from Amsterdam to Frankfurt is very nice. Is it true? How long does it take and what are the timings and fares etc. Where can I get this information?

I want to live in Roterdam for the Month of June 2007 to work on the biography of a musician who teaches at the conservatory. I am looking for a family (preferably Indian)who can give me a place to live in. In exchange I can give flute lessons as I am a classically trained bamboo flute player or I can offer a room and meals at Kolkata India for a similar period of 1 month.

If no such place can be worked out what are the PG accommodations available near the conservatory for the month of June ?

Hi -
I will be traveling to Rotterdam by plane on Monday, April 2nd. My flight arrives at 17:45. I need to travel to Hotel New York to drop off my bags, then on to Ketelaarsstraat 9c (near Leuvehaven) by 19:00.

Can someone tell me a) if it's possible to do this in that amount of time and b) what is the best way to get from the airport to Hotel New York (in the most timely fashion) - I'm assuming I can take the watertaxi from Hotel New York to Ketelaarsstraat.

I appreciate your replies (I start traveling tomorrow, so the sooner the better!)

Hey!
I shall come with my girlfriend to Rotterdam for the big jazz event: http://www.northseajazz.nl/index.en.asp
In the morning and during daytime we would like to make short trips to Utrecht, Delft etc
Now here's our question - which area would you reccommend for the accommodation?
The jazz festival seems to take place not in the centre... But train station seems to be in the centre...
If you can name any (not expensive) hotel or B&B, we would be very thankful!

Hi,
When I was in Rotterdam last year I saw this beautifull big church which is used as residential facility for students ( many student rooms inside).
My question is: Whats the name of the church, is that the only church housing students or are there others in Rotterdam.. if so, the name of those.
Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

I have been looking through this post and went to some of the suggested sites, but still have no look in finding accommodation for starting mid-May 2006 to Dec 2006.
I'm a 24 yr old female from Toronto. I'm quiet and organize, and I am looking for a room or studio near Heer Bokelweg. My hoping price range will be 300-600 euros per month. I am a master student and I will be working in Rotterdam for about 6 months.

If anyone is interested, or have any suggestions on which posting sites (english) to look for, I really appreciate it!
Thanks !
Alice
