Old Loui's Jazz Tavern by Antti

I was in Ghent last Thursday and I went to a jazz tavern with my friend. The place was very small and as full as it could be, but the atmosphere was very nice and friendly. There was a three-member local band (All Of Us) and they played a nice set of well-known cover songs. Both me and my friend enjoyed the night immensely and judging by the applause, so did the rest of the audience as well.

For me it was a very memorable experience, because I haven’t felt so at ease and so relaxed in a pub ever before. Everyone seemed to be very friendly and the owner of the place was sitting there listening to the band and talking with people. She even offered a free round of drinks for everyone during the evening! I also talked for a while with the singer of the band and he told he had been jamming with some Finnish music students in Ghent.

Altogether it was an unforgettable evening. :-)

I’ve lived there for 6 months, but I don’t know WHERE!

This is my story but now I really need to find out at what extended-stay hotel I stayed at (I need this for immigration purposes).

All I remember is:

  • the hotel was situated outside the city center, within walking distance to church/cathedral with two big towers, and a school
  • the hotel was a monastery, converted to hotel. It has been there in 1907 or so.
  • the hotel is small, with maybe 20 (max!) rooms. The rooms were large, with inner stairs, and upstairs bedroom.
  • it was within biking distance from a canal passing through an industrial area.

Many thanks to someone who can point out what the hotel was (contact info / links / pictures). I sort of need this information ASAP!

First appartment by Thaleia

The first appartment I rented was in Ghent on the Kouter. It was nice living there, but I must say I’m glad I moved to Bruges. It’s still fun to visit Ghent and it’s beautiful to take walks in the town. Really worth doing!
