I joined Nynke for the community lunch in the Hub, Rotterdam and met a lot of other members working there and they gave me a lot of advices. I just want to record them here for future references.
1. It's about passion, commitment and money. The Hub is a long term project. It needs quite an amount of initial investment, and it would not break-even in less than a year. Deciding to start a Hub needs passion, but to carry it needs commitment. Since the Hub is a very local projct, it probably means not leaving the base city for a long time. And even it is about realizing dreams, it is also about financial returns. Because we need to support our living.
2. They suggested that I can do an internship in one of the Hubs in the world and get to know the operation.
3. I am going to take on a trip around Europe from 20th May-20th Jun. And my aim is to not to fly but keeps a budget, so I will use bus for most of the trip. And try not to consume any bottled water. They were very encouraging on my trip, and suggested that I can visit the Hub in several cities I am visiting. So if I ended up in a city that has a hub based there, I will walk in and have a talk with the people working there.

The second part of the bolg today is about leaving. I am leaving Rotterdam in three days, and I just started to discover the beauty of it. Hence "the love at last sight" in the title.
Today was the last time for us to have the class in the garden. Now that spring is here, and summer is almost here as well. The garden has been so colorful now. Just some photos here:
