Omg Tice, you live near to me! I should come for a visit sometime. I knew someone who used to work on the cliff train in the background. They're one of the best places to get photos from. You can visit me, get the bus (Number 6 I think) to Maidstone :)

I have good memories of Hastings, some girl bought a big fish from the shop (It was a plaice I think), and then the seagull took it and ran away. She cried her eyes out!

I will comment on Detroit : like chicago and New york , want to see a nice skyline go USA , but pistol looks like you live in a rough part of town (looks like ganton in a different climate )

BTW Dune calling chicago puny ????? I am from a town with 100.000 inhabitants and we certainly dont have a building that once was the highest in the world

Always been a big Chicago fan (GO BULLS) (love to make a roundtrip in the US one day )

And Obi You dont have to post a pic of your village , the pics i took are also 10 miles away from my city (ill put some up from my city later ) and I do believe the welsh countryside is certainly beutifull so ....

About Marcs : our country may be small but we can acheeve great thing , when watter is involved

I try to comment on all but I probably forgot some f you , but my general impression is you are euther from beitifull Countryside towns or massive Cities with spectacular buildings , and Luca Born in venice ... now thats a story !

 
Posted on: November 07, 2007, 02:04:14 PM
are those weed fields?
Nope , but look at Marcs pictures of the 'Westland' in some of those greenhouses there are indeed weedplants , the police regularly finds them (growing weed with the intent to sell is ILLEGAL even here ! So the weed that the coffeeshops sell is usualy illegaly grown but that is a whole different story , so dont start a discussion about it here ! If you want i will explain the truths and myths about dutch policy in your  :weed: topic)

Poor tice :( Well, if you want to take a break from the Rain and the fog, don't forget to Visit the lovely town of Limone Del Garda. Famous for the cultivations of lemons (Limone = Lemon) and a strange lemon protein named "A-1 Milano". The protein has given residents of the village extreme longevity - a dozen of those living here are over the age of 100 (1.000 total inhabitants).

Um, Trix posted that, not me (By the look of it he lives in London or up north). I personally love where I live. Also, Luca, I'm thinking of going to Italy possibly next year, and those places look nice, so I'll try to learn some basic Italian (I hate speaking English in other countries).

I'm kinda bored, so I got some other pictures of England.

Obviously London, but shows Parliament really well.

(http://www.ce.ntu.edu.tw/photo/building/bld7bBig%20Ben,%20London,%20England.jpg)

Of course, the classic London cab/taxi

(http://www.ukstudentlife.com/Travel/Transport/Taxi/TaxiCab.jpg)

and bus

(http://www.juliangallo.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/london%20bus.jpg)

Bodiam castle. Not far from where I live -

(http://www.thewonderingeye.co.uk/Images/bodiam_castle.jpg)

... and the English countryside normally looks like this -

(http://www.propertyinvesting.net/cgi-script/csNews/image_upload/specialreports_2edb.North%20England%20countryside.jpg)

... So yeah, England is quite a contrast of a country, and not quite as glamorous and shiny as Italy, but I love it.

Luca's town is very pretty, but Italy is not just roses mates, I bet if he lived in Sicilia, it wouldn't be as friendly.
BTW, Portugal is prettier, just not the suburbs like where I live.
I study in Lisbon so I'm going to post some of Lisbon too.
Anyone who played Age of Empires III will see that it didn't change much from medieval times.

You got right PMP, Italy has 2 faces...the first wit the shores, the sun, the hills and the waters.

Or city like Rome, witness of probably the most important civilization in history.

The colosseum is almost 2000 years old.

And the second with the suburbs full of drugs, prostitution, criminals, illegal immigrants, corruption

This is the second face of Rome

Well, as I promised:

Yesterday's school trip to Congonhas, on the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

note: the pics are very large, so I decided to use thumbnails:

Now, another pics:

(http://baixaki.ig.com.br/imagens/wpapers/bxk8718_pnlm-ma800.jpg)

This is the "Lençois Maranhenses". The reason for this name is because they are located in the state of Maranhão, and it looks like blankets of water.

"Pico da Bandeira"

(http://baixaki.ig.com.br/imagens/wpapers/BXK3113_RocinhaRJ800.jpg)

Now, Rio de Janeiro has also two sides: Here you can see "Favela da Rocinha". There are lots of drug deals, shootouts between criminals and cops, etc.

(http://fotos.sapo.pt/topazio1950/pic/000bac58)

And this is "Cristo Redentor"

The storm in our country was not that hard, but on the Northsea it blew the water in our direction. In combination with the tide they decided to close it. Of course it was not the very first time, but other times it was for testing.

Its skull tower, Turks after serbian uprising in 1809 had ordered all serbs killed and a tower built with their heads, it still stands as a monument to fallen heroes, it had 952 skulls in it, now only few reamain
look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_Tower
Quote
"My eyes and my heart greeted the remains of those brave men whose cut-off heads made the cornerstone of the independence of their homeland. May the Serbs keep this monument! It will always teach their children the value of the independence of a people, showing them the real price their fathers had to pay for it."   quote from Alphonse de Lamartine, "Journey to the East", 1833

found a promo-video about the city i live, Stadskanaal in the Netherlands

the train you see is a museum piece, not the ones we drive in in the Netherlands  ;)
''hier kom ik weg'' means ''this is where i come from''
''Refaja Ziekenhuis'' means ''Refaja hospital''
''Theater Geert Teis'' means ''Theatre Geert Teis''

also you wil see Stadskanaal locatie Stationslaan
which means Stadskanaal location Stationslaan,
that is a school, the school i have been on the be precise

hier kom ik weg 0001 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDDwNHkJgSQ&feature=player_embedded#)

40-1:05 secs is our Cityhall
around 3:55 you see our Watertower, with that side building ''streekhistorisch centrum'' if you could have read that, it means Region Historical Centre or so

I love Stadskanaal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw3VzLVy21g&NR=1#)

In Portugal. There would never be a road like that. They would just build a bridge across the whole valley.

BTW, I find you're lack of Dracula references disturbing. Come on, Romania is all about vampire and stuff like that. The best legends always come from there. Count Dracula, Gypsies that steal babies.
