## About

Delft is a charming mid-sized city (100,000 people) 15 minutes by train from Amsterdam, famous for blue pottery and canal architecture. Living is moderate (€1,000–1,300/month), and the city has a genuine engineering and innovation culture—you'll see bike shops, maker spaces, and design studios everywhere.
