I noticed most of the non-Europeans admire Europe for its historical buildings.
The city where I go to school, Mechelen, sure has a lot of history in it

I found a video about it on Youtube (inspired by Guilon ). The video is kind of special, but somehow I like it.

Beautiful city! Urunghai, and that video is quite artistic!

A small fragment of history of the city:

It is called Malinas in Spanish,

"...In 1572, during the Eighty Years' War, the city was burned and sacked by the Spanish. After this pillaging, the city was rebuilt." Wow!

The city itself is quite beautiful, although it's not a big city! (if you compare it with other belgian cities!)

What school are you going to, Urunghai?

Whiii, after China I am going to study in Mechelen!

And for Dhadha, you should check some things on the internet about Brugge, it's also a historical Belgian city and it's much bigger than Mechelen.

(Oh yes, Thatha, Belgium has a lot of ancient cities)

Is it? I don't, I don't live in a historical city at the moment (there are a lot of castles here, though)
But I want to live in a modern city! In China I'll study in Shanghai, how modern is that?

If you want to live in a historical city, you definetly have to come to Belgium!

I think I told you this before:

We are never satisfied with what we have.

Isn't this true?
