I am Martijn Vandewiele.
I am a student at the UGent, where I follow a master course in physics and astronomy. I take this course because I hope it will help me to find some job one day in material sciences.
One reason to visit Gent once in your life, as I am sure you will do/ have done is that this city has a lot of history (it was particularly important in the Late Middle Ages, the city then had and in some aspect still has a rivalty with Brugge), which every tourist brochure will agree to.
