Comparing Bruges and Ghent – Flemish Travel Showdown
Blog: Landlopers - 23 February 2012
When I was planning our trip to Belgium, I solicited the advice of friends and experts who had visited the low country before. Almost immediately, I sensed a strange division amongst the respondents and it all revolved around two seemingly innocent towns near Brussels, Bruges...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved.

Capturing Waffle Love in Belgium
Blog: Landlopers - 24 January 2012
Chocolate or Nutella. A seemingly simple choice, especially since they’re so similar to one other, but with dozens of eyeballs boring into my back and the server at the waffle stand smiling not-so-patiently, it was suddenly impossible to decide. I hastily went with the Nutella,...Copyright LandLopers All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized use prohibited.

A night in the giant colon
Blog: Tom Hall: London - 22 March 2010
It’s not every day you get the chance to spend the night in a giant digestive system, but last week I did just that. At the Verbeke Foundation, midway between Antwerp and Ghent in Flanders, Belgium lurks CasAnus, the creation of Dutch designer Joep Van Lieshout. Getting to the Verbeke Foundation by public transport was [...]

Submitted by: Aleksandra Kurczynska Ghent, Belgium Have you already seen Gravensteen? Have you taken photos from Sint Michielsbrug? Have you rested on Graslei when drinking a magic bottle of wine? Have you done something even more ‘Gents’? No matter whether your answer would be yes or no, may I suggest you something different…because: why not [...]

NOT "In Bruges"
Blog: Travel Adventures of Newman - 26 September 2009
In preparation for my trip to Belgium, I inquired among my friends if anyone had actually been there, and if so, which part(s).

Quetzal in Ghent
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 24 September 2009
I probably don’t need to convince many people that chocolate is the best thing ever (ladies, am I right?). I for one am a hardcore chocoholic…in fact, the Mayans are my favorite civilization ever because, although they made that crazy calendar everyone’s freaking out about these days, they still gave the world chocolate and I can’t [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

F.A.C.T.S. in Ghent
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 10 August 2009
I read comic books. There I said it! Mostly American ones, which I’m a bit ashamed of, not because they’re bad but since Belgium is the comic book country (stripverhaal/BD), I feel like I should dedicate myself more to the local product. I did have a lot of Tintin, Spirou, Marsupilami, among other European ones, when [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

The Best Waffles in Ghent
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 4 August 2009
I know the title offers a bold statement, but it’s true. Back when I first got to Ghent, I only knew a few things about Belgian cuisine – mussels, fries, chocolate, beer, and…waffles. Almost a year and a half later, I don’t know much else, actually. But what else do you need, really? A delicious and [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Flanders finished
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 1 August 2009
We are on our way to Gent now, all be it a little slower than we intended as we’ve got on the train that goes all around the houses and doubles the travel time (still only to an hour mind). Well Gent was okay, but a little dull really. It had some pretty bits very [...]

Werregaren Straat in Ghent
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 24 July 2009
Collecting photos of street art is like trying collecting the infinite. You will never find the same piece again, because they are always unique and always changing. For those of you that don’t mind the fact that you will never be able to complete your collection, this will keep you busy for all your life, [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)
