Hello Malgo,
I missed this one ...
Am I the one who has inspired you? If so, I have no idea how I've done that.
You can't know that Leuven is the place where I was born. Perhaps you do know that the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) was my employer in recent years.
But I worked in a campus in Brussels.
Regarding the beer: I know you don’t drink beer. But beer is an inextricably linked thing to Belgium.
A few years ago I showed a picture of the longest bar in the country. That photo was taken in Leuven. You saw the picture at the time. See: https://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=7&p=1413744
For us Leuven is not a quiet town. It’s full of students :)At least most of the time.
Do you remember Angshuman Chatterjee? He has studied in KU Leuven.
But indeed not many tourists don’t go there.
Here you present us a photo of the quietest part of Leuven: the Great Beguinage (Groot Begijnhof).
Best regards,
Paul

Hi Paul, Thanks. Indeed, I didn't know that you were born in Leuven. And it is rather surprising that Angshuman studied there. How it happened? Of course, I have seen the longest bar, in your photo and in my lenses: http://beta.trekearth.com/workshops/...hoto219452.htm. I found Leuven very quiet. Maybe I was there during holidays?
Have a nice evening Malgo |

Hi Malgo,
I remember that Angshuman told me once he had studied in KU Leuven. Probably only a master course (or for him perhaps a second master) or maybe a PhD ... I don't know. KU Leuven has lots of master courses taught in English and the number of foreign students is growing every year. Also in the campus in Brussels where I worked. In Belgium the fries are called: frieten (Flemish) or frites (French). Many people here eat them with mayonnaise but I don't like them neither on that way. Best wishes, Paul |

Hi again Malgo,
Looking at the shadows on your picture I knew you had taken it on a late afternoon. So it was very very strange that the square wasn't full of people. Than I looked at a calendar of 2004. 6 October 2004 was a Wednesday. It's completely incomprehensible that the square is so empty ... I don't have an explanation for it ... Best wishes, Paul Last edited by PaulVDV; 09-09-2019 at 01:57 AM. |

Unbelievable !
But you can see that many people were expected to come. Perhaps an emergency plan was announced: Malgo is coming to visit. Everyone to the shelter. I really can't explain it. |
