From Amber's house in Mechelen, we go to Leuven by train. Leuven is known as the student city of Belgium, so there are a lot of fun things to do at night as well as in the daytime. This city is very vibrant and filled with young people.
After getting off the train, we walk down a long street that leads us to the Town hall. Leuven's city hall was build in 1448 in a late gothic style. It is definitely worth stopping to spend a few ...

We are right beside a stage that changes performers about every ten minutes. While there we saw belly dancers, country music singers, Gaelic singers, girls with batons, and some guy reciting French words –poetry perhaps? We also watch the passersby. It is amazing how many women are wearing 3 and 4 ...
