Petrochemicals - Can only think somewhere in the Arab world, best stab Dubai or Qatar. No afraid not
Is it Rotterdam? I think that's where Erasmus from. Being a port could tie in with the petrochemical thing.mapperleywhite wrote:Erasmusbrug

Hotel New York - Is a fabulous art deco building that used to be the HQ of the Holland to America passenger line; I've been lucky enough to stay there a few times on business, highly recommended!
Belegde broodjes - Dutch sandwiches that are absolutely rammed with food; not really a favourite
Sint-Laurenskerk - there's a very poignant picture on Wiki of the shell of the church standing among the rubble of the city after the Luftwaffe had flattened it in 1940. Fully restored now
Petrochemicals Rotterdam and the surrounding area has a huge amount of operations related to oil and chemical products because the crude arrives at the port

. It is the "City of angels …"
. Buddha reclines
More than 5 words, though. I think we've departed somewhat from the original remit.
