First Week in Gent


Gent, Belgium, Flanders... A new, complex culture, yet a wonderful one, ready to unveil unexpected secrets to me...
The medieval town in which I am to live for the next five months even managed to draw the attention I used to allocate exclusively to France in a complete new direction. Paris still remains the city of my dreams, but, as far as real life is concerned, I think I'd love it if it were Gent. Or Bruges.
Shopping, reading, watching films, hanging out in the cafes in Overpoort, seeing plays and art exhibitions...This is what life in Gent is like. Not bad at all :))
