Luxembourgish Food & Bastogne War Memorials

Hey World Creators!
In today's video we briefly explore one of the worlds smallest countries: Luxembourg! I am not going to lie, it was a short stay in Luxembourg… and I was mostly there for a concert, but it was a nice country! Luxembourg is known for its high income level and cost of living. As such everything is pretty fancy and nice! Also all of the public transport in Luxembourg (Trains, buses, etc.) are totally free! THis makes traveling REALLY convenient! The city has played a significant role in history but has somehow managed to escape Europe's violent past with a lot of its iconic structures still intact. Some of these structures include the Bock Casemates, a defense structure built over a thousand years ago!
Other sites in Luxembourg include the Monument of Remembrance (a golden angel that crowns you as a victor of history and Pont Adolphe, Europe's largest double-decker suspension bridge.
Luxembourg is also close to some notable World War 2 sites and memorials. A short Bus & Train ride JUST over the border into Belgium takes you to Bastogne. Bastogne is the heart of the story concerning the Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne Belgium is home to the 101st Airborne Museum. While this museum is smaller than things like the Caen Memorial, it was a great museum with a lot of artifacts and really well created wax figure scenes. It teaches all about the specifics of the Battle of the Bulge and how the American forces were trapped and rescued.
There are also many memorials in the town including the Bastogne Nurses Memorial and the 101st Airborne Easy Company memorial a short walk down the road from Bastogne near the Belgian town of Foy. Near the monument there is also a preserved area with the “Foxholes” or defensive positions dug by Easy COmpany. Easy COmpany is famous for their depiction in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers.”
The mentioned town of Foy is home to one of the temporary American Cemeteries. This was used to store the remains of fallen US soldiers in the bitter winter battle of Bastogne. These fallen soldiers remained there until they were transported in 1948 to their final resting place at the Normandy American War Memorial & Cemetery at Omaha Beach.
