So someone give. I want to know the translation. I need
words you people.


@ Shan
I don't think that I understand what you are talking about. Are you sure you haven't touched Viper's beer already? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Can you be more specific about your last post?

I hope everybody had a good time at the camping and at the BBQ at Viper's? But you don't have to mention it everytime that you don't drink, Shan. I think we all got the message. From now on we will get rid of all clothes and other luggage and buy you loads and loads of bottles of water. Just watch out that you don't drown in all that water, Shan!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Today we go to
visit Antwerp .
If you like a nice stroll by the water to watch some ships, I recomment the Port of Antwerp. It's a very famous port and one of the biggest in the whole world.

And if you want to learn more about the history of Antwerp you can visit two sides of Antwerp. There is a new side of Antwerp, and an old side.
I prefer the old side just because of the small streets, the cosy pubs, and of course the streetmusicans.
Statue of Brabo, Statue of Lange Wapper and Het Steen etc... If you like to know more about those two statues, I copied that piece of text from another tread where we talked about urban myths and legends.
This is the legend of Brabo: " Untill the 17th century "Antwerpen" was written like "Hantwerpen" (Trhowing hands). No wonder, because according to an old myth a part of the river "De Schelde" was gaurded by a big giant Druoon Antigoon. He claimed a very high toll for every passing ship. Who ever did not pay, the giant simply chop of the hand of the shipper and throw it in the river. One day, a Roman soldier, Silvius Brabo killed the giant in a fight, chopped of his hand and throw in the river. That is how Hantwerpen got her name from. Later they erased the "H" and kept "Antwerpen" "
Lange Wapper was a man that could make himself as tall as a giant and as tiny as a child. He wondered around on the streets and followed drunken man to their homes.
I hope you guys find this a bit interesting? Maybe tomorrow I'll find some more spots in the big city.
