drogon Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Would love taking her to Edinburgh (will go again to the Tatoo this year) but it seems that she will not be authorized to enter the UK...... (of course, trying to cheat at the eurostar might work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limbo Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Brussels, antwerp, Gent ???? You are joking please (I am Belgian) :grin: Still very nice cities, especially for somebody who hasn't been there yet. I'd also add Brugge better than Neeroeteren just to mention something! The Ardennes are also beautifull. The Sunday market in Liege/Luik?? Maastricht is still a good bet, Koeln, Berlin, Munchen and once in Amsterdam, Scheveningen would be a nice side trip to the beach. How much time do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 LP and Munchie, Skoozie, Very correct, seeing some English and Scottish countryside is a must, Italy - how could you miss it? Much closer than Budapest, Venice, Florence, Pisa, all great cities/towns. No need to go as far south as Rome. I remember going through a similar process, wanting to show a girlfriend from Brisbane Queensland a real British pub. Drove of the ferry from Holland into a Brit port, drove of into the country side, found a quaint looking pub, the "Cobbler's Nuts" or something like that, smoke coming from the chimney, images in my head how she'll think it so cute with the fireplace etc. Walk in, Wall to Floor bunting, posters and coasters for XXXX, the beer from Brisbane Queensland. "Not that different from home" was her thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Prasert Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Brussels, antwerp, Gent ???? You are joking please (I am Belgian) :grin: As Limbo stated, do not forget Bruges, but from your above reacton I guess you do not know your own country, or you do not seem to care for your roots. C'est dommage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I had great time in Lisbon and then headed down to Lagos which is probably one of the nicest places I have ever visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I konw my own country quite well, but Brussels, Gent or Antwerp (I did not include Bruges) can not decently compete with cities like Venise, Munich or Prague. This is true that I do not care for my roots or why would I have been an expat almost all my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Prasert Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Actually I doubt your knowledge as there is no need for any city to compete against another. They all stand out for their own unique reasons. Your GF will be missing out, as have you. Also nobody mentioned Paris yet, the most beautiful city of the world. Then again, you hate the French C'est dommage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
