...with my school to see Ypres as we are studying the 1st World War. I found it fascinating.
Ypres is a small medieval town in Belgium. It used to be a small and sleepy town with only 20,000 inhabitants. It was taken by the German army in 1914 and after four years of war it was left in ruins. It was so flat and empty that you could see around you for miles. It was one of the best cloth towns in Belgium so the money from that paid for the town to be ... ...Poperinge. Poperinge is 12km from Ypres and was an important town during the Great War. We visited the 'Flanders Field Museum' which is actually in the Cloth Hall Building, opposite the town hall of Poperinge. They are situated in the ancient Grote Market which has a nice atmosphere. They were both completely destroyed but rebuilt again, the Cloth Hall being finished in the 1960's. It is very authentic and really looks like it has been there for ...

Advantages: you learn a lot about the world war, doesn't cost a lot if you visiting from U.K Disadvantages: The weather could be really cold and muddy in some areas
Ypres is the place to be if you are a sort of person who is interested in History of the World war mainly concentrating on German and Belgium. I been there three times mainly because of my history studies and the experience was extraordinary.
However, Because i've mainly visited there for History studies it's hard for me to tell you about the city life style, entertainment etc. A return ticket to ypres only cost me £45 via Euro tunnel which is rather ... ...there is lots of graves we were just wondering around and ma mate noticed a grave of her great grand dad and she was shocked i actually took the picture for her as she did not have a camera.
The weather in the area can be a bit painful for the reason that it's hardly hot. Its mainly cold and if u visit the trenches it could be muddy just like in the world war time. If you visit the museums in the area you get to see a few videos and pictures of ...

Advantages: Great Historical Monuments Disadvantages: The Weather! (?)
I visited Ypres not so long ago for a day trip to have a browse around the World War grave yards and the old trenches that were used during the war. I visited both the Allied grave yards and the German grave yards and they both have sad yet interesting feel about them. The allied grave yard is amazingly kept, with the white stones and rememberence monuments naming those whose died defending their country. I also took the time to sign the rememberence ... ...kid.
All in all, Ypres is a wonderful place to visit. The town centre itself is has a very medievil look about it but the shops are great. I remember a man in the chocolate shop gave us some free chocolate because wait for it..... we were English... Now thats the kind of treatment i love. ...
