You will find really think I should go back to Rotterdam? "At the beginning of her documentary sounds radio producer Maartje Duin (40) outraged when she is talking to close compatriot Mr. Heidbuurt.
Dune has lived for nearly twenty years in the city, but still likes her neighbor that was that they actually had to go back to her hometown after her studies. "Why should people as necessary to Amsterdam as Ajax itself no houses can get?"
Blond ponytails
