I love Ghent. It's far more lively than my native Bruges.Bruges, allas, lost a good part of its identity in an attempt
to please tourists.
Historical buildings became too clean and too neat. Local shops
are replaced by an infinite number of soulless tourist traps were
industrial quantities of chocolates and waffles are sold to an
ignorant public of foreigners.
What a shame, what a pitty!
The good citizens of Ghent were wiser; their town kept
its sparkling, vivid soul. A bit less clean and neat, but eons ahead
