\ 倫敦昨天不平靜,發個小遊記順便報個平安!??❤️\ .\ 我的世界歷史本來就是哩哩落落,要不是一直聽大家說「布魯塞爾+布魯日是最佳的週末組合」,弱弱的說一句我本來還真對(布魯日)這個比利時??城市摸不著頭緒~每次旅遊時透過讀遊記當我的歷史惡補課時,自己都會有點汗顏。但是晚知道總比永遠不知道好吧
!反正我都這樣安慰自己?\ .\ 原來,布魯日的黃金時代那麼輝煌!12-15世紀最繁華喧鬧的大港口旁,富有的商人在小酒館裡邊享樂邊談生意--在大魚大肉和原木餐桌之間、在上好的美酒和鵝毛筆之間、在金幣香料商船和綢緞之間,史上第一座金融交易市場就這樣發生了!(比威尼斯商人還早先一步呢)\ .\ 布魯日,失敬失敬~\ ???????\ #布魯日 #比利時 #旅遊 #歷史 #巧克力\ .\ .\ So, I'll confess I'm hopeless in the world history department. If not for everyone telling me what a lovely town Bruges is and that it's a perfect weekend trip combined with Brussels, I would not have looked into it, nor would I have the faintest idea on what's so special about Bruges. \ .\ I thought it's just another charming European town with the added benefit of Belgium chocolate and waffles -- until I learned more about Bruges' Golden Age in the 12th-15th century and realised it's the birth place of the world's first stock exchange! \ .\ Imagine...Amidst the hustle bustle port and markets, merchant ships filled with luxurious wool and exotic spices, rich merchants rubbing shoulders in local taverns, glasses full of wine, big deals were done.\ .\ Bruges is more than a charming town. It's got history.\ .\ ???????\ #bruges #belgium #travel #holiday #chocolate #history #goldenage\
