An introduction to Rotterdams "most dangerous" neighbourhood: Feyenoord
People often ask me where in Rotterdam I live. Their reaction to the answer often sounds like this:
"Feyenoord? Oh my god I would never go there! It is such a rough neighbourhood."
No, it's not. Instead it is time to look at some of the broad statements about this lovely area on the south side of the river . . .

The Conquest of Love
Three individuals. Two millenia. One Day. Follow the Valentine's Day through the course of history until today.
ITALY. ROME. YEAR 269.
The 13th February of 269 is a bad day for Valentinus. He is in prison in Rome. And you only leave a prison in Rome for one reason: To get executed. Especially if you are Christian. A banned religion in the Roman Empire.
But how did he end up there? Well, performing weddings for Roman . . .
