This was by far my favorite excursion. I absolutely love the harbor. I never realized just how much modern buildings attract me. I always thought of myself as a girl who LOVES old things--which is true when it comes to many things, but some modern objects, buildings are rather fascinating. It was good to see a modern city in this little country below the sea! The older buildings are very attractive, but I almost prefer taking them for granted than making a tourist attraction out of them. I get bored with the repetative structures. Brick this, brick that, etc. Clock towers and churches EVERYWHERE. Rotterdam was more home-like.
Cube houses. Now that was something else. I was blown away by these structures. I decided that I could live in one of them as a vacation house, no problem, but to live there as a permanent home would be rediculous. I would get very annoyed with the layout of my household items. I like to change things around too much. These houses limit changes. Re-arranging the furniture is not possible. The design is rather conformed to one standard look. And... I think I might get a headache after a while, sitting in a house where the walls do not stand upright. I just might go crazy.
The Sonneveld house was an interesting attraction. The slippers for our shoes were rather funny lookin' but they made for a good laugh. I was surprised with just how many household accessories were bought out of the United States. It's incredible how much influence our rich culture had on this house and its design.
A great city!
