Summary
Daniel considers Rotterdam rent unaffordable: monthly Airbnbs cost £1,652–£2,000, versus roughly £379–£900 in Osaka. Visa debit is rejected by several shops; he also finds Rotterdam’s quiet centre and multi-lane traffic inconvenient. He leaves tomorrow for a secret new place; staying here would cost £3,000 monthly, beyond his budget.
Insight
Financial pressure continues driving unstable, travel-based housing choices despite his preference for quiet independence.
