Is Bruges really a shithole?

yes, like most of belgium

I would visit there, seems like a pretty and peaceful place

>>78964380
It's like a fairy tale.

It's pretty nice. Good bars.

>>78964380
Is it even a shithole in the movie?

It seemed like a running joke that Colin Farrell hated it a lot but it was pretty nice

>>78964380
It's very much a tourist town, but that's not always a bad thing.

It's fine

It's just really fucking boring

What does Bruges have that Venice doesn't?

>>78964548
sandniggers

>>78964548
Midgets on horse tranquilizers

>>78964380
I have been there a couple times it was really comfy.

>>78964502
it's that

but /tv/ are too idiotic to tell the difference between the opinions of a character, the opinions of a writer and reality

something about those houses on the corner of the blocks with water outside two sides is really comfy to me

something like this (except it's a hotel)

>>78964548
Well, it's not drowning in mud, for one.

>>78964380
Depends, have you seen the alcoves?

>>78964548
It doesn't stink of shit

>>78964380

Yep!

>Belgium

There is your problem.

>>78964380
it looked pretty nice to me. Despite the dealer midgets and whatnot. Do you live in a very "desperate housewives" white neighbourhood or what?

>>78964380
If you grew up on a farm, and were retarded, it might impress you

>>78964925
it's like being the king of your own castle.

>>78965263
Are you the American who had a heart attack climbing the tower?

The Bruges you see in the movie is tiny, if you walk for ten minutes in any direction you'll get back to regular, canal-free streets. It has absolutely nothing to do with Venice.

t. Belgian

>>78964380

Nah, it's pretty nice, but there's a lot of tourists. Also, the room behind the tower smells like piss.

Fidèle (Fidel in English) (May 2003–January 2016)[1] was a famous dog and tourist attraction in Bruges, Belgium. The Yellow Labrador Retriever lived at the Côté Canal bed and breakfast with his owner, Caroline Van Langeraet. He could usually be seen lounging half-asleep on a windowsill facing the Groenerei canal;[2] Langeraet says that it was his favorite spot for years, in all seasons.[3] Tour boats on the canal often paused specifically to allow the passengers to take Fidèle's picture.[4] According to Langeraet, American tourists have sent the dog fan mail and parcels with toys.[3]

In media, Fidèle appeared in the 2008 film In Bruges — which only increased his fame[3] — as well as a television advertisement for Godiva Chocolatier.[5]

I seent it.

Comfy dog!

Bruges isn't a shithole.

Farrell's character just didn't like it because for him there was nothing to do there.

>>78965640
>It has absolutely nothing to do with Venice.
What's that about Bruges having more canals than Venice then?

>>78964522

No. It's not. It's a fucking fairy tale town.

>>78964548

a lack of tourist scams and traps

>>78966028
I'm pretty sure you're confusing Bruges with Amsterdam, anon.

>>78966305
I'm not. I saw it on the In Bruges trivia page on imdb, maybe it's false.

Bruggeling here , its a very nice city to live in yet not of very significant size , since the centre has remained the same for 600 years . We have around 100000 people living here and around 20k in the centre alone .

Politcally my city is sadly ruled by socialists , who got 20% in the election ,( average in flanders is 12%).

We have the best football club in belgium ,club brugge .

Brugge is only 4% non-belgian

>>78966417

How hard is it to buy a place there to live?

How much does it cost per square meter?

I'm basically debating either getting an apartment/house there or in Prague, and the location in Prague is roughly 4000 euros per square meter.

>>78966526
where are you from ?

I would not recommend coming to live here because live is very expensive and the belgian economy is absolute shit , also it will be very hard to find a job if you don't speak dutch because most people have an incomprehensable accent .

We do have a pipeline underground for beer only but there isnt much nightlife . Brugge isnt the large city prague is and is probably more expensive

>>78964380
Are the doors above water nigger prevention since they can't swim?

>>78966603

I'm from Serbia, but I work for a foreign company that overpays for my position (legal translator and negotiator for a law firm), which not only lets me enjoy nice things but also has me travel around Europe and occasionally Asia for business purposes.

Learning the language isn't that hard for me, I just need to stick around for a month or two around the natives. Naturally, I'll probably be taking some language courses as well before that, but usually just being immersed in the language suffices for casual purposes.

And I don't really care for any sort of nightlife to begin with. If I did, I wouldn't want to live in Bruges.

Brussels is like Islamabad, but with plenty of blacks too. Shit tier city.

Of all the places I've been I put it at the absolute bottom of all capitols/metropolitan areas.

>>78966682
idk you can probably find a reasonably priced house in the outskirts (all very close to center) but again high cost of living as well

Brugge is a perfect city if you like comfy style of living on countryside but in city form

you are welcome but i warn you people here have an accent that other belgians or dutch people cant even understand

>>78966774

So overwhelmingly, it's Dutch that people speak in Bruges?

>>78966739
I agree as a fleming , shit people but still some nice architecture stands from the period when it was populated by flemings


really sad to see it though in 1960 60% was still flemish now today the city is 15%flemish 20%wallonian and the rest shitskins and slavs

>>78966792

I wemt there laat summer. Literally nothing there that isnt in every other Europeam 'Old Town'. No one should ever bother going to Belguim. Its disgusting.

I fucking hate this movie. A pseudo-hipster chad that fucks a girl i like loves it. That makes it even worse. It more of a personal vendetta against this piece of shit waste of celluloid now

To answer your question OP

Is it in Europe?

>No
It might not be a shithole

>Yes
It's an islamic caliphate shithole

>>78966792
It's virtually all English everyone knows so there's pretty much no point.

I was extremely bored afterwards i appreciated the movie in bruge a lot more

>>78965386
lol

>>78965516
I like how you can tell the movie was made by Europeans because the Americans all had Irish accents

The movie shows how a lot of European cities are very picturesque and have "culture" but are slowly dying and decaying and offer nothing economically to the modern world other than historical curiosity

Spain, Italy and Greece have the best examples of this

>>78964380
the whole of belgium is
everyone looks and acts like the offspring of a massive inbreeding tradition

>>78964380

Bruges
Ghent
Antwerp are pretty much top 10 (small) cities in Europe.

Coming from the resident number one, I honestly know few cities in Europe with more to offer than Flamish Belgium.

>>78964548
Better water, less pigeons, better food, better booze, prettier women, doesnt stink, prettier buildings
Pretty much better at everything

>>78964380
its the Venice of the north, nice city

>>78967808

>better water

Yeah no. Bruges is beautiful, but the entire reason why Belgium has such dark beers, is because the water is so shit.

>>78967824
Wasn't that Amsterdam?

>>78967845

Amsterdam is the Naples of the North.

>>78964407
as someone whos been there absolutely this.

as a belgian i can confirm that i live in a shit country, Bruges is no different. if anyone has any questions, fire away

If we get on the Trump/Le Len/Wilders/not-Merkel boat.

Actually now that I think of it, it's really surprising how anti-PC-anti-safe space this movie is. Could a film like this even fly without hordes of SJW's lashing out against it claming it's fatshaming, nonsmoker-shaming, midget-shaming, small beershaming and literally Hitler?

I agree on Sandniggers (literal infestation) but I did not find people assholes. Not well organised, a bit lazy (but I was spoiled by years in Switzerland) but ultimately good people.
Agree on weather, and food and especially beer. Beer is obviously god-tier.
I find the public transports decent, sure you need a car for everything? Flanders should be even better in that regard..

>>78969767

The older I get the more I appreciate how good it is upon re-watching. It could be due to how much more I'm becoming Farrell's character. Still my favorite character has to be Fiennes' because I still remember my first viewing of the movie when it came out and assuming that he was a bad guy when in fact, as I got older and kept re-watching it as it aired on TV, that he isn't.
