So, it is in Belgium, then. I found this, but no image.

The capital Brussels (French Bruxelles, Dutch Brussel) is renowned for its architecture (mediaeval, Gothic, Art Nouveau and Art Déco), the Grand Place (an old market square surrounded by buildings from 16th - 18th centuries), the royal palace, its pubs, gallerias with expensive boutiques (some say the oldest covered shopping arcades in the world) and its lifestyle. The Atomium is built on the Expo '58 site. The heart of Brussels has only a few old buildings, mostly around the Grand Place; the rest of the city was the result of modern architecture, mostly erected in the 1960s when the city's inner ring-road was built using cut and cover.

Sheeeze. We need some more Americans on this thread so I won't appear to be so stupid. Razz

It's not in Belgium - sorry for the confusion.

It's Germany.

Someone famous, a 'ruler' for instance - let's call him "Charles" - "rests" at a place ...

Nice exercise of etymology, Walter. But is this the appropriate place for it?

But nevertheless: well done, Dutchy.

And since Francis had been there and since it's rather late here .... I suppose, you could post the next pic :wink:

Karl = Charles; ruhe = rest, repose

(The "s" is genetive)

Thanks, Walter. I should have know that name derivation. Razz

Well, Dutchy, it's probably in Europe, right?

OK, dutchy. Two questions:

Is that a public facility of some type?

Is it in Australia?

Not in Australia, and yes, you could call it a public facility.

I suppose, they sing gospels there usually in a language similar to the Japanese and Vietnamese languages.
