Beaten path, leads you again to the starting point, I mean take a look at the square few hours after, the sun was shining, and here I am ready to go to Antwerp after visiting Leuven to meet my VT friends ;-D
Louvain, my Birth Place city, and it is worth to be visited in Belgium, I actually visited a part of it, Leuven-Louvain la neuf- but will be back to visit the old Louvain too, but even the University town I seen was great already!
Those buildings are the hostels of the students, they live, study, eat, sleep here!when I was walking I remembered one of my best periods of life when I was a student in the Bordenko Medicine university in Voronezh, and my first year I spent there was in a hostel similar to this one!
You have all around a big and modern buildings in leuven, they shows it was a new project to find the city for students, as the UCL is one the best and most prestigious university, not only in Belgium, but in Europe as well.
Belgians are great, I was really impressed when I met them and had contact with them,they are civilized, cultured, love life, and know how to live!they know many languages, and all speak English freely,and it is natural for them to speak French and Flemish!so 3 languages and up is the fact that makes them different in the good sense ;-))

All the high buildings and comertial centres or work office buildings are placed in the modern region of the Gare du Nord!it was fun to see all the different modern styles of those buildings!I think when I go to New York I'll be so impressed!
The University of my parents, here in this one my dad finished his Medical education after 7 years of studies, and here also he finished his specialization in Hematology after another 7 years of studies!I wish I could pass my specialization in the same university, but it is ok, Dijon university : La Bourgogne is also great :-)
Jacques Brel has made a song about the Belgian windows, complete poems on them!while I was walking through the streets of Brussles I was repeating his song about the windows, and was finally in the place where you can understand and feel the song.
I was walking and thinking of the all types of the Gardens, there is a classification, there are French, English Gardens!I didn't know there are details and differences between the Gardens styles!for me a beautiful garden is a beautiful nature!
