Review: Hotel The Boatel, Gent (Ghent), East Flanders, Belgium - May 2019
Review: Hotel The Boatel, Gent (Ghent), East Flanders, Belgium - May 2019.
I stayed on Hotel the Boatel in Gent's Dampoort in May 2019. The hotel as the name suggests is a converted canal boat which is afloat on Gent's Dampoort canal. The hotel is located on the water adjacent to Voorhoutkaai, which is a 5-7 minute walk from Gent Dampoort railway station.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted by the friendly and chatty owner 'Sven' who showed me to my room, and also assisted with some heavy luggage. There are some quite steep steps, so this is fairly unsuitable accommodation for people with mobility disabilities. I managed fine, albeit using handrails.
The accommodation cost £245 for 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis.
The room (or cabin) that I had, Cabin 1, was decorated to a high-spec, boutique style. There are plug sockets near the bed, a double bed, extra bedding in the wardrobe, table, chairs, radiator and a fan. There is no air-conditioning, but the fan was quite effective at keeping me cool, in an unseasonably warm May.
There is ample storage space in a wardrobe, draws and cupboard, there is a flat-screen TV, free wi-fi throughout the boat, and a private compact bathroom with toilet, shower and sink (as well as some strange noises from the pumping system that the bathroom has to use).
Cabin 1 was actually at water level, so when standing at the port hole you are actually beneath the water level up to around waist height. It was quite nice looking out onto the water. There were some ducks around but I didn't see any fish!
Breakfast was a modest cereal and yoghurt buffet and then a variety of breads, cheeses and jams served by Sven, eggs were also available, but not meat. The food, much of which was home-made was delicious. The coffee was memorably excellent. All in all this was a quirky and different kind of place to stay, quality wise it was excellent with a good personal touch by owner Sven. I would certainly consider staying there again in future.
This film features views of the boat, as well as the cabin, stairs, corridor and breakfast room.

Vampette Meet Up #2 - Ghent (Belgium)
On the 30th of January, 2016, we organised a new meetup in the beautiful city of Ghent, Belgium! It was an amazing day and this video just says it all!
The Mark Of The Beast 666 = BIOMETRY ?
Over biometric procedure which is necessary today if you wanna or must have new biometric id's lies a big fraud. Biometric system gives computer code 666 for hand and forehead biological characteristics of body, and then put them into the central computer data base (the beast from revelation). Just like www is code for internet there is a www (666) code for humans.
Every time you put your right hand (or just finger) or forehead to bio-scanner you will be dentified to the system, that will be the standard for buy and sell.
This was a pilot program and now is to be world-wide, to allow you to pay using your finger print, just type in google or youtube pay by touch and watch.
In '74, Washington Uni Prof R Keith Farrell tatooed an 18-digit ID, insertingf a soft plastic, under the skin, that gives off one watt - 'just to be scanned by cash till lasers for safe, 'cashless, chequeless society'
In '78, then-EEC Chief Computer Analyst, Dr Hanrick Eldeman, said that EU supercomputer 'Brussels BEAST - Belgian Electronic Accounting Surveillance Terminal - had already given everyone on Earth an 18-digit ID - it starts 666 - as in total control freakery of Revelation 13:15-18
A Cashless Society
A one world dictatorship and new monetary system will soon prevail. Therefore existing savings may be declared worthless. Deceiving people into investing money in multinationals and banks will give the powerful greater power, and they will soon take our money and not give it back.
People will be led to believe it is a good idea, as it will save or prevent; money being stolen, credit cards being lost, paper checks, tax evasion, handling cash and currency fluctuation.

FULL THAILAND PLAYLIST ALL VLOGS:
In this video, I will show you the beautiful Belgian city of Ghent. It is one of the most scenic and beautifully preserved medieval city of Europe and is one of the most popular tourist destination of Belgium and Western Europe in General.
I took a train from Belgium's capital Brussels as an Indian travel vlogger and Indian traveler to Belgium on a budget. Taking a train from Brussels on a budget trip to Europe from India, I took a day trip to the beautiful city of Ghent and hence have shown, how you can also plan a day trip to beautiful cities of Belgiums on a budget trip without spending much money.
I did not take any taxis and just took a metro from my hostel in Brussels where I was staying on my Belgium's budget trip and then I took a train in Belgium from its capital Brussels to Ghent which is one of its very beautiful and pretty cities.
As an Indian traveler, you can follow the same method of staying in cheap accommodations in Brussels and then using public transport to travel to other cities.
Also, the video discusses the following Belgium Trip from India factors in great details.
1) Planning a budget trip to Belgium
2) India to Belgium cheap flights
3) India to Belgium tour packages
4) Belgium Vlog in Hindi
5) Budget trip to Zurich.
6) Fun activities in Belgium.
7) Belgium packaged tours.
8) Romantic places in Belgium.
9) Honeymoon in Belgium.

Azar Baksh - concert in Belgium 13-01-2011, The Cradle
Azar Baksh, concert in Ghent, Belgium, on 13-01-2011
Songs:
The Loan
Famous Blue Raincoat
The Cradle
Azar:
Sometimes it happens that a song, without intentions to do so, becomes quite some live performance, is ecstatically and emotionally sung. This song, ‘The Cradle’, is certainly one of those. I become sincerely angry at the end of it. This is not really usual during a concert, but the chance for this raises when I sing about Truth and Lie. Touch Truth and you touch ‘me’. When some days ago I saw this video for the first time after the concert 5 ½ years ago, I burst out crying. It’s so intense. It’s recorded on 2011, January 13, in Ghent, Belgium, in the concert room of a Chinese shop/restaurant. Unfortunately it is recorded not with professional microphones, but just by the camera microphone from a distance, so you might need to put the volume higher than usual.
The lyrics are not autobiographical, by the way. I don’t sing about my own mother.
The Cradle
text written in train through Germany, 3-7-2010
(+ 8-8-2010 Tuchola Forest)
Why did you laugh and smile
When I was lying in the cradle
To defend I was not able yet
Being still so small
Why must lying start so soon
Couldn’t you cry at me
That I as well I’d have to go through all this life
That you as well you’d have to go through this
That everybody has to go – alone
Still I am sad sad of the lie
This aggressive welcome
I didn’t expect, that’s true
Still I’m crying, since you refuse
Still I’m trying to adjust
Still I do not really manage
How are you after all these rigid years and crippled tears
Of trying still to smile at me
Respected slave of old society
But ain’t it getting harder, oh to keep it up
What’s a penis without love
Didn’t I tell you as a child already
Oh didn’t I always like to be told the truth
I had this peculiarity already as a newborn baby
Did you ever respect, did you
You gave me a name – I didn’t get it
Never understood whom you were talking to
When you were not you
Your greatest gift, your tears
You did not give, they were too dear
Did you feel relieved then
When I came into this world
And in vain they tried to pamper me
Did I temper your despair
Couldn’t you honestly tell me
About the pain and sickness of this world
This world
Without a fuss, without a drama
I could have handled what you couldn’t, you wouldn’t
If you would have cried
I would have smiled, be satisfied
Now I cramped as well
Woman, why don’t the tears flow out
As easily as children
Couldn’t you really beat
The army round the heart
Were they too many, too strong
With too mighty weapons
Did the torture take too long
Or did you surrender at once
Or was it me, was it man
Who seemed gone
Why did you laugh why did you smile
When I was lying in the cradle
To defend I was not able yet
Why does the lying start so soon
Couldn’t you cry at me
That I as well I’d have to go through this alone
Can you cry for once with me, cry
For once respect this Life, respect yourself?
Respect the sea
Where you came from, where you’ve got to go
Can you once say NO – to the lie its tempting flow
Before you die you’ve got to cry
Mother, everybody got to cry before we die
To be free you got to cry
On our knees we got to cry
To melt to melt the lie
The fucking lie the fucking lie
Oooh we’ve got to cry before we die
We all’ve got to cry
Won’t we all together cry
For the truth that had to die
Here on earth for the lie, the fucking lie
It’s no demand, it’s just your Nature
And I’m just figuring out what we can do
While you’re still around, while it’s not too late
Mmmmm I Love you anyway,
The son
