Hey, nice pics!

It seems you were in London when I was in London too ... August 11th :P

Funny ... we could have met in there :)

I_FORGOT_WHICH_BRIDGE_THIS_WAS.JPG ... that is Tower Bridge

TYPICALCASTLE.JPG ... hey, that's not a castle, that is Westminster Abbey !!!!! :S

And the Small Car is called a Smart ... :P

Did you like the snails with garlic, butter and parsley by the way? was it difficult to remove? :)

So, where exactly did you go in Europe? Did you stay for a long time?

Lol, Manneke Pis child porn :S

How did you like Brussels?

Jeez, are those cows still in Brussels, those festivities have been over nearly a year ago :P

Oh and azerty keyboards are great :)

Oh and that building in the background of 'typical area' is the palace of justice in Brussels, the largest in the world and built with money from exploiting the blacks in Africa :)

as my math teacher would say "i am as calm as belgian", when we went there it was thunderstorming and i heard people say in french what good weather it was...

other than that Brussels was pretty cool (except they charged me and my dad 98 euros for one dinner, :):))

Also, those cows were taken in manchester, england.

Nice man, I will be living in Rome for a year in two years I believe. So I'll be going on the grand tour during that time :)

Funny how you have a picture of globalization and then you wear a "Nike" t-shirt in others :S It's everywhere.

You should have also visited Bruges, the home of trance :) I will be making the pilgrimmage eventually.

Lol they have the exact same cows in Brussels :)

Well 98 euros for one dinner is very much. I suppose you ate on the Zavel (Sablon en français), very expensive there, or in the rue des bouchers. If you go to a restaurant for the locals you get much better food for 10-30 euros/person :P.

Well thunderstorm isn't good weather here. It rains here quite a lot but we also have many sunny days. It's just something people like to joke about :)

btw @Adam

Why's Bruges the home of trance? I'm half living in Bruges (gf lives there :)) and I don't know there's a trance scene, there aren't even discos there. Well that's if you're talking about the music genre :P

But Bruges is a must see for foreigners. I'm not too fond of Bruges, because there are too many tourists (and probably because I'm used to it too much), but for someone who doesn't know it it's quite impressive. But a city which is even a lot more beautiful than Bruges is Ghent.

Ghent isn't the usual tourist stop, but it's like Bruges and a lot more. More mediaval buildings, more cafés and shops, twice as big, not so touristic and it's a university city.

If you're going to Bruges Ghent isn't far away, only 50km east of it, so you can easily visit them both, even in one day.

Another btw :)

I've made a site about Flanders for an NPO promiting Flanders. You can read about our cities and such there (includes nice big photos):

I don't think it really is, but it's a line I heard on some website I had visited prior to making that post. So I had to write it :P I think I was reading the biography of an artist and it made a reference to his collaboration with another artist in Bruges, but I forget the exact site.

I think there are a lot of trance producers or something that work in Bruges. So it wasn't referring to clubs or even listening to trance, but its production and new ideas concerning it.

Types of Trance are popular all around the area, from the Netherlands to Germany.

But from what I understand Bruges doesn't have a a bad scene...

Of course, because they have no scene :)

Really, I don't know where the idea comes from, seems so strange to me. Bruges is really nothing more than a tourist city, and a very small one. Ghent and Antwerp have a trance scene, but Bruges really seems unlikely.

Anyway, if you ever find back where you read that you're always welcome to show it to me, perhaps I missed something :P

Oh Lasgo. Well such groups come and go in Belgium, it's quite pulp considered by most people here (except in the popular music scene).

Really, I believe nearly 30 cities in Belgium have their groups like Lasgo. I heared they are popular abroad, but I never knew Lasgo was considered a prominent name in the international trance scene.

Anyway, you sure should visit Bruges once, and let me know so I can be your guide. You'll notice it's just a small provincial city (120.000 citizens), but regarding medieval architecture, history and musea it's quite a metropole.

It's really funny with all those tourist. A friend and I had the habit of trying to be on as many photos as possible. I guess quite a few Japanase families have photos of us :)

Oh and in Maldegem, the town I live in, we have the best youth hostel of Belgium. Really cheap to sleep and you have the luxury of a hotel. It's only 12km from Bruges and there's a bus halt to Bruges quite close. (But I bet you'll forget that by the time you're in Rome :P)

Yes, Lasgo is relatively popular in the states. Peter Luts in particular, since he collaborates with the Dutch project "Ian van Dahl" , which produced the song "Castles in the Sky", extremely popular here in the USA. The Peter Luts mix of that song is fantastic.

Anyway, you sure should visit Bruges once, and let me know so I can be your guide.

If I am visiting ever, I will do that. With all I have been reading about Belgium in Art History and (soon) in Architectural History, I am getting the itch... :P

Well there's much more than art and architecture here. There is for example erm... fries! and... beer! :P

One thing, what I found strange regarding American and Japanase tourists, is that you should take your time while visiting Europe. Americans and Japanese just rush through Europe missing the most beautiful things. I've been nearly 20 times to France in my lifetime, always 1-2 weeks, and I've probably only seen 10% of what's worth visiting. Even in my own country, which is so small, I still discover very beautiful places every year.

So if you ever feel the urge: rent a car for a month and drive through Europe :)
