One of the Ph.D. students here lives in Utrecht and comes to work here. But
he's moving to Den Haag now (still quite far, when you think that 90% of the
people working in this laboratory live in Delft itself. Myself I live in the
south of Den Haag, so that it takes me only 12km and 40min by bike to go there).

I still never went to Rotterdam. Mmm...

I've always wondered how you can maintain such a density with so many places
with nothing but woods and fields (you see a lot of them). Even Den Haag itself
is so green! Where do you put the people?
