The Cliffs of Moher: The Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres.
Leamaneh Castle: A ghost called Red Mary apparently haunts the ruins of this castle. The story goes that she had a thing for marrying young English soldiers and then killing each of them after a year and a day.
Their souls eventually joined forces, tied her up to a tree, and let her die of starvation. However, her ghost is said to still wander around the house.

Gentse Feesten & Vive la Fête, Gent 🇧🇪

The Gentse Feesten is an annual music and theater festival in Ghent, Belgium. Besides stage events, there are street acts such as mimes and buskers. It has been held for more than 50 years and is attended by about 1–1.5 million visitors.

Ghent is a city and a municipality in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is the capital and largest city of the East Flanders province, and the third largest in the country, exceeded in size only by Brussels and Antwerp. It is a port and university city.

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.
