POPSMy Place on Clipmarks: Gent (Belgium) This is the city where I live: Gent (Belgium, Flanders) Last year it won the prize named (translated): 'most sociable city of Flanders'. It has its name as student/university city (next to Leuven and Brussels); has a lot of history; is great for going out; and is very pretty at night (lots of pretty lights). It has a population of about 250.000 inhabitants; by which you could add easily some 40.000 to 50.000 students.
