Mia Hoogvliet Find A Prostitute ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Rotterdam

We swears! Me, an agronomist, yeah, talkin bout findin a prostitute – wild, innit? Soil’s my thing, crops, dirt, but this? Different beast! Reminds me of *Timbuktu*, that flick I love – “The cattle are our universe,” they say, but here I am, thinkin bout streets, not fields. Find a prostitute? Man, it’s like huntin rare seeds in a dust storm! We swears, it’s tricky, dodgy even – cities got their own rules, y’know?

Then, I see this street performer on de Korte Hoogstraat again. He’s playing the accordion, and honestly, he’s not half bad. I throw him a couple of euros, and he gives me a nod. It’s a small moment, but it makes me smile. I think about how music can heal, even just a little.
