Am 2 minute decand ma gandesc cum sa incep acest post. Sa scriu despre emotii, sa scriu despre o noua tara, sa scriu despre revedere cu prieteni, sa scriu despre fotografii? Cred ca as putea sa scriu despre toate.

Ma bucur enorm de aceasta plecare. Is super multumit ca planurile au iesit pana acum asa cum mi-am propus. Am invatat aici ca e bine sa-ti faci planuri. Am invatat ca atunci cand iti doresti atat demult un lucru se intampla si depinde doar de noi. Is bucuros in acelasi timp, ca am oameni in spatele meu care m-au inteles cand a fost vorba de aceasta plecare. Aici ma refer la prieteni si la Asli (sefa mea). Am ramas super surprins cand mi-a spus ca ma intelege perfect ce inseamna sa revezi un bun prieten. Zic cu toata convingerea ca, asa vreau sa fie fiecare sef al meu si asa vreau sa fiu si eu la firma mea.

Is pregatit pentru o saptamana bine meritata pe ruta: Frankfurt-Ghent-Bruxelles- ?. Las acel semn de intrebare pentru o ruta surpriza. Sunt ferm convins ca o sa fie locuri cu adevarat frumoase si demne de povestit.
Lumea cu care am vorbit, a spus numai cuvinte frumoase despre aceste orase. Intr-un fel, la fel ca si venirea mea aici, nu-mi fac nici o asteptare. Astept sa vad cu ochii mei toate acele locuri.

Am gasit pe wikipedia cateva lucruri despre Gent si Bruxelles.
Ghent is a city and a municipality located in the Flemish region, Belgium. It is the capital and biggest city of the East Flanders province. The city started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Lys and became in the Middle Ages one of the largest and richest cities of northern Europe. Today it is a busy city with a port and a university.The city recovered and flourished from the 11th century on. Until the 13th century Ghent was the biggest city in Europe after Paris; it was bigger than London, Cologne or Moscow.[citation needed] Within the city walls lived up to 65,000 people. Today, the belfry and the towers of the Saint Bavo Cathedral and Saint Nicholas’ Church are just a few examples of the skyline of the period.
Much of the city’s medieval architecture remains intact and is remarkably well preserved and restored. Its center is the largest carfree area in Belgium. Interesting highlights are the Saint Bavo Cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece, the belfry, the Gravensteen castle, and the splendid architecture along the old Graslei harbour. Ghent established a nice blend between comfort of living and history – it is not a city-museum. The city of Ghent houses also three béguinages and numerous churches, among which the Saint-Jacobs church and the Saint-Nicolas Church are the most beautiful examples.

Brussels officially the Brussels Capital-Region, is the capital city of the European Union (EU) and the largest urban area in Belgium.It should not be confused with the much smaller City of Brussels (founded circa 580) within it, which is the capital of Belgium (and Flanders) by law.Brussels has grown from a 10th-century fortress town founded by Charlemagne’s grandson into a metropolis of more than one million inhabitants.After the end of World War II, Brussels has been an important centre for international politics. It hosts the main institutions of the European Union, and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Thus, Brussels is the polyglot home of many international organisations, diplomats and civil servants.Brussels is the EU’s third-richest city in terms of per capita income.
Charles V, heir of the Low Countries since 1506, though (as he was only 6 years old) governed by his aunt Margaret of Austria until 1515, was declared King of Spain, in 1516, in the Cathedral of Saint Gudule in Brussels.
Upon the death of his grandfather, Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor in 1519, Charles V became the new archduke of the Austrian Empire and thus the Holy Roman Emperor of the Empire “on which the sun does not set”. It was in the Palace complex at Coudenberg that Charles V abdicated in 1555. This impressive palace, famous all over Europe, had greatly expanded since it had first become the seat of the Dukes of Brabant, but it was destroyed by fire in 1731. All that remains is an archaeological site
