An American from Belgium to Amsterdam - day visit -

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Quite a trip! The high speed train in two hours from Belgium to Amsterdam.

Started the trip in Antwerp.

cool statue! Accent was hard to fully understand from the tour guide but has something to do with a Roman cutting off a giants hand who was demanding money and the soldier cut his hand off and threw the giants hand in the river.

Social Spaces.. in the states we don't have these but in EU they seem common. Beautiful cobblestone and always interesting characters just hanging out. Again... can't emphasize this as a huge difference to U.S. I think we should implement more spaces like this in U.S.

Wow you had a great trip, the statue sounds like based on something very painful happened in the past and I don't know most about them.

Love the pictures from the place, I guess that's a great place to visit right? Maybe I'll give that place a visit too.

Thanks for your post

Judging by your profile pic... you seem the kind of guy that did.
