@Gal
You forgot to mention:

Becouse Ambiorix and his tribe continued to refuse to surender to the Roman legions, Caesar said the words that still have worldwide fame... in Belgium <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> :
"Of all Gallic tribes, the Belgian are the bravest".
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And maybe it's not so safe to leave Jurak there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
In Tongeren it sometimes happens that parts of the market square or streets just crumble and disapear into the earth. And you find yourself in a big hole. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
That's becouse the city is so old. And people kept building the "new city" on top of the "old cities". From Gallic settlement to the city it is today. It's not so long ago that in a spot near the market square, again, a part of street "fell" a few meters. Just when a car was driving over it (no one in the car was hurt). And yet another archeologic site was found. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
At that one they found remains of mideavel square and a well...IIRC.

So you all better watch your step in Tongeren. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Till not long ago a good freind/colleague of mine lived just outside Tongeren. But like it often is... she met a male human and moved way up north to Maaseik, where they live together now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
So... can't help you with a place to stay I'm afraid.

Don't forget to visit the Gallo-Roman museum.
Maybe you guys can solve "the mystery of the dodecaëder" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



After the first one, about 90 more ware found.

These pentagon-dodecaëders (the name is derived from the strange shape of the object) are all made out of bronze.
And since the first one was discovered scientist are breaking their heads over it.
No one can figure out the purpose of this strange object.
Some say it was used to hold candles, others say it was used to roll dice, others say it was a toy for children, others say it was part of a bigger item, like a scepter, others say it was an ingenious metric instrument used for building (but they can't explain how <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />), others say... the list is endless. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It's not so much in the news these days. But regularly it returns in the news when yet another scientist comes up with a new use for them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> At the museum everyone can leave a sugestion for wat he/she thinks it was used. And there's even a comic book about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
