There's a lot more than beer, chocolate and waffles. Really. Trust me. Please.

Rating Train Stations by Aesthetics (and other various factors: part 3)

- a vogelmeister analysis -

Antwerp- 10/10. This was requested on the basis that I would love it and let me tell that person I absolutely bawled when I saw this. She is VERY GORGEOUS TO ME! She could slap me and I’d thank her. She looks like a majestic castle. In fact, someone could yeet her into the country, tell me it’s a castle, and I’d believe them.

Rome- 2/10. I really don’t know what to say about this, but I know I don’t like it. It’s too brutalist for my liking.

Olso- 7/10. I like it but it reminds me of brioche bread. Also it’s nothing new.

Cork City- 3/10. Reminds me of my hometown, and anything that remotely reminds me of there goes low. But it has small Irish town vibes and I stan that

Hamburg- 5/10. Is it really a vogel ranking if there’s not one German one there? All in all the only thing I like here is the clock tower. The rest is meh and kinda uninspiring.

Perth- 7/10. I hate that this has nice vibes. That’s all I have to say. I love the vibes of this and I hate that I love them. It’s probably the palm trees. It makes her look tropical.

Leipzig- 8/10. She looks so unassuming from the outside but really pretty on the inside. There’s no clock tower which I find dissapointing BUT the inside is nice so it’s good enough for me :) but not as nice as Antwerp.

Beijing- 7/10, mainly because I feel threatened by it.

Gießen- 9/10. I love that I’m getting requests! It makes me feel famous! Anyway on to the Gießen write up. She’s cute and pretty. I like her. I especially like her small European town vibes, it makes me feel safe. Would defs catch a train from here.

Belgrade- 8/10. Loses marks bc this is old Belgrade and I cannot fathom how they could replace it. she’s pretty.

From the series, “Ugly Belgian Houses” by Hannes Coudenys.

I saw an item on Belgian TV about this the other day. Hannes went back to ask how the residents felt that their houses had been featured in his series. Most of them were good sports about it really. Belgians don’t make a fuss about such things.

- 'Together we walk: trail of stories': an individual, free walktour through along the parade route, discovering the inspirational stories of LGBT+ people who were important to the pride movement.

- 'True colours of Antwerp': guided queer walks through the city, three different themes, tickets must be bought.

- 'Together': the first LGBT+ exhibition in Belgium, in the MHKA Antwerp.

- 'Wear it with pride': dress-up at home, outside or with your friends in the most colourful outfits, as if you were going to pride.
