November 3, 2024,Rondje Zaandam.

Went for a walk in the backyard of Zaandam.

What an experience,
From a burnt-out bus to litter everywhere on the streets.

Parks without maintenance, thought the best part must be the city center?!

What a sadness..
Hotel 🏨 is nice to see, but otherwise a draughty, weed-filled, atmosphereless place..
