https://www.dutchnews.nl/features/2020/11/making-the-most-of-space-europes-biggest-rooftop-park-is-in-rotterdam/     Titbits We live in a small village in the east of the Netherlands, close to the German border.  It is a rural agricultural area with lots of dairy farms, livestock and crops. It is not heavily populated.  Locals here are kinda like 'hillbillies' without the hills and have their own unique dialect language. Some of our neighbours were born here, went to the village school, married, had kids and still live in the same village. The Western part of the Netherlands is called the 'Randstaad', includes heavily populated areas, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. The Randstad is a megalopolis in the central-western Netherlands consisting primarily of the four largest Dutch cities and their surrounding areas. Among other things, it contains the Port of Rotterdam, the Port of Amsterdam, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
