Window Shopping around Beursplein
Author: DJ31.03.2006
I like to window shop because it’s a good way to check out the latest trends in fashion and at the same time get a good exercise while having fun. My favorite place to shop is around Beursplein where Beurs World Trade Center is located. There are so many shops to even count at Beursplein and a few streets near by. I hardly buy clothes here because the smallest size for the average Dutch woman is too long and a bit big for me. If you ever come to the Netherlands, make sure you stop by the modern city of Rotterdam and do some real shopping and sight seeing.
Here I am standing at the top level of the parkinglot by V&D shop looking down at the shopping area. The Beurs World Trade Center is to the right (not as big as you would have expected).

Ready to shop?
I think this is the best day care center in the city. If I work in this area I would want my children to spend the day here so I can come by and have lunch with them everyday.
Oh yeah, I got my best walking shoes on and ready to hit the shops without spending a penny. Behind me is the front view of Beurs World Trade Center. I told you it’s a small building, not like what you’re used to in the great big USA land.
