#100strangers /13 Betina
Betina (Stranger 13, round 3).
Line 25 is the longest tram line in Rotterdam that starts in the north (Schiebroek district) and runs through the center and over the Maas (Erasmusbrug) through Rotterdam-Zuid and goes past the Breeplein towards Barendrecht (the Vinex district Carnisselanden). Along the way you will see a wide variety of buildings, from luxurious detached houses to dilapidated post-war high-rise buildings. In the tram you meet the mix of cultures that Rotterdam is rich. One afternoon I spoke to people from many countries: Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, a Surinamese Hindustani who speaks flat Rotterdam and a man from Curacao (who was looking for a rich woman). And of course the Rotterdammers themselves. I'm investigating whether this could be a subject for a photo project. Betina was waiting at the tram stop and what struck me was the combination of clothing, hair color and her large glasses. Betina is from Brazil and speaks some English. I asked her what brought her to Rotterdam. She said that she studies fashion design at the Willem de Koning academy (hence her appearance) and by the way I think love also plays a role in the background. Of course I was allowed to take a picture. Thank you Betina.
This is the 13th photo from my 3rd round of the 100strangers project.
