The cupcakes I wrote about previously was one of them and there were also other fun and interesting stuff. One of the most interesting things about Antwerp was the origin of the name &quot;Antwerp&quot;. A friend of mine who had a guidebook told me the folklore about &quot;Antwerp&quot; and the following is the same story written in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antwerp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wikipedia<\/a>.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>According to&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Folklore\" title=\"Folklore\">folklore<\/a>, and as celebrated by the&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Statue\" title=\"Statue\">statue<\/a>&#160;in front of the&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/City_and_town_halls\" title=\"City and town halls\">town hall<\/a>, the city got its name from a&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Legend\" title=\"Legend\">legend<\/a>&#160;involving a mythical&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giant_(mythology)\" title=\"Giant (mythology)\">giant<\/a>&#160;called&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Druon_Antigoon\" title=\"Druon Antigoon\"><em>Antigoon<\/em><\/a>&#160;who lived near the river&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scheldt\" title=\"Scheldt\">Scheldt<\/a>. He exacted a toll from those crossing the river, and for those who refused, he severed one of their hands and threw it into the river Scheldt. Eventually, the giant was slain by a young hero named&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silvius_Brabo\" title=\"Silvius Brabo\"><em>Brabo<\/em><\/a>, who cut off the giant&#039;s own hand and flung it into the river.

The young hero is throwing away the cut hands and the giant without a hand is laying down at the bottom. I hadn&#039;t seen anything like this statue before.<\/p>\n<p>However, there seems to be other theories which you can find in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antwerp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wikipedia.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u306f\u4e0b\u306e\u307b\u3046\u306b\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002\u30b9\u30af\u30ed\u30fc\u30eb\u30c0\u30a6\u30f3\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/smileyumi.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d9b6253ef0167689bdb41970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Antwerp 8\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341d9b6253ef0167689bdb41970b\" src=\"http:\/\/smileyumi.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d9b6253ef0167689bdb41970b-500wi\" title=\"Antwerp 8\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u3068\u3066\u3082\u697d\u3057\u304b\u3063\u305f\u30a2\u30f3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30d7\u8a2a\u554f\u3002\u30ab\u30c3\u30d7\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad\u3060\u3051\u3058\u3083\u306a\u304f\u3066\u307b\u304b\u306b\u3082\u697d\u3057\u304f\u3066\u8208\u5473\u6df1\u3044\u3053\u3068\u304c\u305f\u304f\u3055\u3093\u3042\u3063\u305f\u3002\u307e\u305a\u306f\u30a2\u30f3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30d7\u3068\u3044\u3046\u540d\u524d\u306e\u7531\u6765\u30fb\u30fb\u30fb\u30ac\u30a4\u30c9\u30d6\u30c3\u30af\u3092\u8aad\u3093\u3067\u3044\u305f\u53cb\u9054\u304c\u898b\u3064\u3051\u305f\u60c5\u5831\u306b\u306f\u3073\u3063\u304f\u308a\u3002\u540c\u3058\u7531\u6765\u3092\u4ee5\u4e0bWikipedia\u304b\u3089\u629c\u7c8b\u3002<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u8a00\u3044\u4f1d\u3048\u306b\u3088\u308c\u3070\u3001\u8857\u306e\u540d\u79f0\u306f<a href=\"http:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%98%E3%83%AB%E3%83%87%E5%B7%9D\" title=\"\u30b9\u30d8\u30eb\u30c7\u5ddd\">\u30b9\u30d8\u30eb\u30c7\u5ddd<\/a>\u6cbf\u3044\u306b\u4f4f\u3080\u795e\u8a71\u4e0a\u306e\u5de8\u4eba\u30a2\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30b4\u30cc\u30b9\u3068\u82f1\u96c4\u30d6\u30e9\u30dc\u30fc\u306e\u4f1d\u8aac\u306b\u7531\u6765\u3057\u3066\u304a\u308a\u3001\u5e02\u5e81\u820e\u524d\u306e\u300c\u30d6\u30e9\u30dc\u30fc\u306e\u5674\u6c34\u300d\u306b\u3001\u3053\u306e\u4f1d\u8aac\u306b\u3061\u306a\u3093\u3060\u50cf\u304c\u5efa\u3066\u3089\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3002\u30a2\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30b4\u30cc\u30b9\u306f\u30b9\u30d8\u30eb\u30c7\u5ddd\u3092\u6e21\u308d\u3046\u3068\u3059\u308b\u8005\u306b\u901a\u884c\u6599\u3092\u8981\u6c42\u3057\u3001\u305d\u308c\u306b\u5fdc\u3058\u306a\u304b\u3063\u305f\u8005\u306e\u7247\u624b\u3092\u5207\u308a\u843d\u3068\u3057\u3066\u6cb3\u3078\u653e\u308a\u6368\u3066\u305f\u3068\u3055\u308c\u308b\u3002\u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u82e5\u304d\u82f1\u96c4\u30d6\u30e9\u30dc\u30fc\u304c\u3064\u3044\u306b\u30a2\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30b4\u30cc\u30b9\u3092\u9000\u6cbb\u3057\u3001\u305d\u306e\u624b\u3092\u5207\u308a\u843d\u3068\u3057\u3066\u6cb3\u3078\u6295\u3052\u305f\u3002\u3053\u306e\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3001\u300cAntwerpen\u300d\uff08\u30aa\u30e9\u30f3\u30c0\u8a9e\u3067\u300c\u624b\u3092\u6295\u3052\u308b\u300d\u306e\u610f\u3001\u53e4\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u306f\u300chand\u300d\u300cwearpan (= to throw)\u300d\uff09\u3068\u3044\u3046\u540d\u79f0\u306e\u7531\u6765\u3068\u306a\u3063\u305f\u3002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u4e0a\u306e\u5199\u771f\u304c\u305d\u306e\u30a2\u30f3\u30c8\u30ef\u30fc\u30d7\u5e02\u5e81\u820e\u524d\u306b\u3042\u308b\u9285\u50cf\u3002\u3053\u3093\u306a\u9285\u50cf\u307b\u304b\u3067\u898b\u305f\u3053\u3068\u306a\u3044\u304b\u3082\u3002\u3061\u3087\u3063\u3068\u30ea\u30a2\u30eb\u3002\u5207\u308a\u53d6\u3063\u305f\u624b\u3092\u6295\u3052\u3088\u3046\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u82e5\u304d\u82f1\u96c4\u3068\u624b\u3092\u5207\u308a\u53d6\u3089\u308c\u305f\u5de8\u4eba\u304c\u4e0b\u306e\u307b\u3046\u306b\u6a2a\u305f\u308f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u3060\u30fb\u30fb\u30fb<\/p>\n<p>\u3067\u3082\u305d\u308c\u304c\u307b\u3093\u3068\u306e\u7531\u6765\u304b\u3069\u3046\u304b\u306f\u5b9a\u304b\u3067\u306a\u3044\u3088\u3046\u3067\u307b\u304b\u306b\u3082\u3044\u308d\u3093\u306a\u8aac\u304c\u3042\u3063\u305f\u308a\u3059\u308b\u3088\u3046\u3060\u3002\u8a73\u3057\u304f\u306f<a href=\"http:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%83%AB%E3%83%9A%E3%83%B3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>\u3067\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; We had a lovely day in Antwerp last Friday.
