		<description><![CDATA[NRC Handelsblad is reporting that container traffic in Rotterdam, Europe&#8217;s largest port, is down 15% and overall shipping traffic down 13.4%. The downturn is expected to continue through the remainder of the year. This is, or course, reflective of the overall downturn in shipping.

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, your location determines how you party in Holland. Also a surprise: going out in my old home of Rotterdam means spending more. I always went out for 2-for-1 night at Concordia, so I don&#8217;t know anything about spending big.

So I put on my jersey, strapped on my helmet (a rare sight in Holland), and set out for Gouda &#8211; the all-Dutch city! According to Google Maps (and the various signposts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t look like I&#8217;m going to get winter her in Holland. I&#8217;m pretty happy about that, actually. Global warming has its upside. The downside, of course, is that Holland is on average 15 feet below sea level. If when the ice sheets melt, I&#8217;m pretty much screwed if I&#8217;m still here.]]></description>

My neighborhood, near the Rijnhaven metro station, is a working-class neighborhood. It reminds me quite a bit of much of Baltimore, or DC east of 16th Street. The buildings are old, a bit run down, and there a [...]]]></description>
