Day 15: Blijdorp

On Thursday I decided to take a tour of my new neighbourhood: Blijdorp. Blijdorp is in the north of Rotterdam, on the north side of the train station. The name means 'happy village.' Blijdorp is a neighbourhood of about 9500 people, and known mostly for the zoo called Diergaarde Blijdorp. So far I find it to be a nice neighbourhood. The people are friendly, it’s clean and there’s lots of interesting stores/canals/parks.
