White chicks

No, this post is not about some movie I saw in Toronto a few years ago.
Not at all. After the hugely popular chicks in a tree and the detailed coverage of their journey to that tree, I, and some of my readers with me, felt it was time for a follow-up.

Most of Ghent's parks have some chicks (and chickens) wandering around in them, yet the historic center remains a dull scenery with as only highlight some pigeons (and maybe a fantastic view: see picture for "details").
A lack of parks sadly prevents the chicks from reaching this part of town. The presence of water could be a solution, as I witnessed last Wednesday.

Two white chicks (aka "swans") were spotted swimming (floating) through Ghent's most touristic area and were caught on camera.

Japanese and American tourists visiting Belgium usually limit the Ghent part of their visit to the train station, on their way from Brussels to Bruges (Brugge), which is known for its white chicks ("swans").

Maybe these two white chicks mark the dawn of a new era. An era in which more white chicks choose Ghent as their home and in which Bruges (Brugge) should just be happy that Schwarzenegger will save them from drowning.
