My friend is in Belgium for her work and so I have to discover Gent on my own.. I don't really mind that.. It's in the middle of the day and I don't think anybody is interested enough to kidnap me.. Futhermore, Gent is a safe place..
So what is there to see in Gent? There are a few interesting tourist landmark that you can visit.. You can alway buy the tourist map (for €9.90) or if you are lucky enough like I am, you'll get one for free!! (God bless the lady who gave me the map)..
Through the alley and small roads in Gent, you will come across beautiful big murals everywhere..
When you reach at the centre of Gent (Historic Centrum) you'll come across a place surrounded by bars, pubs and restaurants.. I choose one which advertise special waffle and since I am in Belgium, trying Belgian Waffle is a must! The place I choose is directly opposite to the big buulding with a fountain in front of it..
It was a sunny day and I decided to sit outside.. I spent a solid one hour just sit there and observing people..
What I've observed:
1. The postman in Belgium delivered their mail on a bicycle
2. There are a lot, I mean like tonnes of Chinese (or maybe Hong Kong or Taiwan.. I don't know.. They are all look alike) tour group come to Belgium
3. People in Gent runs with their dogs under the bright sun! It's hot just to sit let alone run!
I did not know that before, but thanks to the time spent eating the waffle, I know that now..
What I've paid:
1. Return ticket from Antwerp to Gent = €18.80
2. Belgian waffle (topped with ice cream and chocolate syrup) and a cold drink = €8.50
