Well that is settled then? Shan and Üb are going to the football game. (did you know our Jan Breydelstadion was used for the big game Euro 2000?)
But football is not really my idea of having a good time.
You guys can go if you like, enjoy yourselves and don't get in to fights, the Bruges fans like to fight if they looses the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

Hey Seth,
Did you honestly thought I was forgetting those things? I'm may be blond, but I'm not stupid <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
On the Big market in central Bruges you have the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter De Coninck. Jan Breydel and Pieter De Coninck
These man are genuine hero's for us, Flemmish folks.
De Guldensporenslag If you would like some more info or translation I would suggest to ask some of the older members of the forum, maybe Seth will help out?
The text will explain why the "Brugse Metten" happened. That is the name of one of the most important battles we had to fight, and we won!! The Flemmisch people had to be freed from the French king, Philippe the 4th.
Jan Breydel and Pieter De Coninck took the leadership over the crowd to lead them into freedom.
The whole history is too complex for me to tell, but i hope others will be happy to help out if there are any questions or people would like to know more about that subject.

If you go a little further down the water, with the boat called "Lamme Goedzak" [Linked Image] you will get in Damme. Artists village Damme This small village has his fame for being a village of artists, like painters and bookwriters.

I will tell you guys more tomorrow about our nature preservation domain. If you like birds.

I hope I made it still interesting for everybody?
