Italia Zelzate

... city. Awesome architecture and canals winding around the city, as I took tons of pictures as always and just enjoyed the city.

Apparently Brugges had a movie made recently with it as a location; I'll have to check it out sometime. The main "art" piece I saw was a Madonna with Child from -the- Michaelangelo from Italy. It was quit nice, as were the countless other paintings and sculptures I saw in that ...

... is the largest collection of musical instruments in the world, and for only 4 euro (with a student card discount), I spent a good couple of hours visiting the hundreds and hundreds of musical instruments, which automatically play 2 or 3 short pieces through your wireless headphones as you walk around the different exhibits. -

It was "fun" (quote marks intended for ...

... cuisine before (nor was I really aware that they had a particular style of cooking) but I have to say it was one of the tastiest meals I've ever eaten - I was impressed! I had a glass of Sangria to go with it too, and it was sooo good!

We spent the rest of the last evening of the rally in the bar with the others, having a few drinks and a good time. It was a late night too - not getting back til gone 3am! Overall it was a great time, we met some great people and had lots of fun.

... two. We decided to try them both. They sure do like their mayonaise in Belgium, and they have a ton of different sauces that go with the fries... the one on the right is the better one.
The next day we went to possibly the worst museum ever... the French Fry museum. Yes, an entire museum dedicated to the harvesting and frying of the potato. So bad but pretty hilarious, and of course you get french ...

... went for a wander around the Beguinage and the little streets of the city before stopping for lunch in a restaurant on the main square, which was really nice and served local traditional food which was really great.

We wanted to go up the clock-tower but the queue was far too long and we decided that we could go back another day during the week when there weren't so many tourists!

The Christmas market had just started in Bruges so we spent quite a while wandering ...

Washington: Lehet cigizni! Kinaiak puszikat dobalnak az Eszternek.

... front of him. The majority of the tourists were in fact from Asia, and it was funny yet strange, seeing these middle aged Chinese guys running up to take turns in front of the statue in order to have their pictures taken, and here they were smiling real big and putting up their fingers doing peace signs and all that **** as if this were a big deal...I finally suckered in and took a pic. of Manekin **** because I figured he's the symbol of this city even ...

... morning and came back Sunday morning. The city center is nice - very compact with the standard large churches anchoring the area. There is a castle that has stood since the 12th century in the middle of town, which surprisingly contained a museum of torture devices. A bit odd, but interesting. Of course, this being Belgium one must take ...

... holds an open house where beers are paired with gourmet food and a tour of the premises. The way it's organized, you tour the brewery stopping in different rooms/areas along the way. At each stopping point you learn a bit about the brewing process, sample 2-3 beers (small samples) and taste 1-2 food items that are matched to that particular beer. It's nicely organized so that people can go through ...

... will I do? What will people think ... --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ---------- November 22 I slept late and alone. Gil came few times in the room to see how I was. After that, later, her mother brought us to the station. Gil was suppose to go to her course but finally we sat on a terrass and talked for hours of all and nothing. I asked her questions, explications... I'm really sad for her and wish she had some more ...
