Recordist's notes
Very festive atmosphere, from Korenmarkt, Grasbrug and Korenlei. Near Graslei, many people are seated along the canal and for a short while, one could consider that they practice the Danish hygge. Making our way along these cobblestones docks, we can understand the underestimate we feel towards Wallonia. subsection from 0:00 à 9:00 Veldstraat, the main commercial street in Ghent. During an uninterrupted parade of trams, everyone makes their way through in a dense atmosphere. From 9:00 à 12:00 Girl scouts playing on Klein Turkije. From 12:00 à 19:12 A very festive atmosphere in the tourist heart of Ghent, from Korenmarkt to Groentenmarkt, Vleeshuisbrug and Gravensteen. Seller of cuberdons shouting and joking with everybody, hilarious customers, and constantly, trams having great difficulties to manage the curve. This is the representative atmosphere of Ghent, noisy, festive and welcoming. Note : it’s a pleasure to hear only dutch speaking people. In Brugge it was uncommon !
