Ok, I'm bored, so i thought i'd start a new topic about the cities where we live, or near to. I don't live in Antwerp myself as such, but in a village close to it. Been going to school/uni there whole my life, so i know it like the back of my hand.

Here we go

The cathedral and environments





Het Steen (small fortress in the harbor)



the statue up front is that of Lange Wapper, one of Antwerp's 'mythological' figures

De Meir (long shopping street)




Grote Markt (Central Square)



The statue of the man throwing a huge hand is that of Brabo. He was a Roman soldier who cut off the hand of the giant that demanded toll from merchants that sailed over the Schelde (river where the harbor is at) and threw it into the river. Myth, of course.



City Hall on central square

Stadswaag

I used to spend a lot of time here a few years ago. Many bars.

Groenplaats

More or less the central point of the city. I am here a lot, not because of the place itself (not that it sucks, but hey), but because this is a good central point to get to other places.


The Zoo

I LOVE the zoo! Posting pics would be kinda redundant, just check out their site

Central Station

I like to hang out there, without really riding the train. Just watching everyone come and go.



the inside:





Rooseveltplaats

Spend tons of time here, waiting for the #é''{# bus.





And of course, de Kulminator

I'll post some piccies of Dallas. There really aren't any pics of Plano to share (nor anything interesting to look at, anyway).

lol@ ozzy...was he famous yet then? And who's neil Moresy?

Lol, I doubt he was famous. Maybe played in local's etc. And Neil Moresy (not sure on spelling) is "Tony" in "Men Behaving Badly", He voiced over a show called "Morph" which was a little skit like thing which played durin Tony Heart's Art show, and later became it's own series (hmmm... something about the name tony) he also is the voice of Bob the builder.
He was in Up and Under... Hmmm.

The spelling is Morrissey.

He's my favourite Charachter in MBH, just because he's so stupid. like me.

Alternatively,
