I love the grand place (marktplaats). It is just a great thing to look at, and you feel as if you have traveled back in time because nothing is modern. Amidst the asian and american tourist there are a few locals that sell their wares in the morning. Flowers, paintings, fruit and vegitables. In the summer it is more of... more
