Wauw,
Friday night, two of my friends and myself went to Ghent for the kick-off of the last weekend of the “Gentse Feesten” (Ghent Festivities). It’s a 10-day long festival in the centre of Ghent with music, theatre, comedy and entertainment on every corner of every street. It was lots of fun and I must say that a sublime atmosphere reigns over Ghent during these festivities. It’s a true invasion of partying people. The hugh popularity of the festival might not be a surprise if you take into account that these festivities in the city centre are free for every guest. So actually it’s one of the most democratic festivals in Belgium I suppose 
Salsa, pop, rock & roll, funk, … Name it and probably there will be a band playing your favourite music at one of the many markets in the city. At Boomtown up-and-coming and renowned pop/rockbands perform at their best. On friday we witnessed a tight set by the Belgian version of Queens of the Stone Age (;)) – Radio Infinity – and Mintzkov, also a Belgian band with international potential if you ask me. The DJ-set afterwards from Mo & Benoeli at Polé Polé couldn’t really mobilise the audience; a pity because in my opinion they weren’t bad at all… At 3 o’clock at night, the music was turned off and we headed back to the Vlasmarkt in Ghent where hundreds partygoers weren’t tired yet, including us. At half past 5 our party came to an end, we had to catch a train back home, but…
…Ghent, I’ll be back in 2008!

and maybe the most embarrassing about the tent was that we couldn’t ‘construct’ it ourselves (we = me and two (female)friends) and we had to ask some help from several guys on the camping. Jezus, what a start
