Now they are doing it right! That's excellent, thank you for sharing that Sir Gerard!
-
Oh man, I would love to visit that place!

So do apparently a good amount of people...reported 30k people went to see it the year it opened and 28k the next...not bad...

Yep, we posted the link on the FB page yesterday. Very cool!
-
Would you mind sending some of the good stuff over to this side of the pond? I know we won't get the historical castles, but, some "new construction" in historical style would be great. :)
-
If I ever hit the lottery, we'll have our own medieval town. Or something like.

Oops sorry if you have already seen it.

lol, Sorry I`m not too sure about medieval sites over there Sir James. But here is my favorite medieval site in Wales that is not a castle. We have an event here next May and some people will get to populate the buildings etc etc....

A good google image search will bring up plenty more photographs etc.

Cool! Now that's how you do it. I just wish I understood German so I knew what they heck they were saying in that one video. XD

We have some medieval-period stuff over here in the States. It just all happens to be of the Native American variety. ;)
But yes, I would have entirely too much fun in a reconstructed medieval European village like that.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

And I'm adding that to the list of places to go.

LOL
Do not give us reason to, young sir. ;)
FWIW I know nothing about speaking German so far as I knew, you'd said it right.
-
Haha, Deutsch ist wonderbar! Hema ist auch Deutsch ich denke. Das ist warum es ist genial. Ich bin ein Ritter Deutsch. But, I still study primarily English history for now.
-
Ooh! Ooh! Lemme see how much I can figure out:
Ich liebe Deutschland! Schade😢 meine Deutsch ist nicht gut... Weil ich Deutsch vier klass sprechen.
"I love Germany! Sadly[?] my German is not good." And no idea about the last sentence, though I recognize the words "I", "German", and "speak".
Haha, Deutsch ist wonderbar! Hema ist auch Deutsch ich denke. Das ist warum es ist genial. Ich bin ein Ritter Deutsch.
"German is wonderful!" Something about "German" again. "That is why it is [something]." "I am a German knight."
Am I close at all? ;)
(Also, ten points for the Phineas and Ferb reference.)

Actually I am sorry about that one sentence that you didn't understand the first time. It is supposed to be "weil i dauerte vier Jahre Deutsch", which means I took four years of German. The second one you didn't get said (in english)"hema is german I think". But bravo you got most of it.
-
Heh, I wouldn't have gotten the right version of that sentence, either. ;) I've only picked up a handful of German words over the years, and I'm clueless about the grammar. I'm thrilled that I was able to figure out whole sentences, though; usually it's just a word here and there.

Now I am making it a goal to learn German, it's the language of my ancestry anyway. I really would like to go here honestly, next vacation I go to I am doing this reguardless. Quite frankly this is the idea I had in my head if I was rich I would do this very thing, build a medieval village and castle and use it as a reenactor attraction and teach people about medieval life.

I feel the same way, if I could build one I would. In france, I think, they are building the castle the way of old. A chistle and a few hundred people lol. But seriously, I think america needs things like this. Especially Pennsylvania :)

Me and Templar bretheren raided that place, did awful things to the people there, ate there food. afternoon tea. then we prayed, after that we had some medieval zen(killing people that tried to run) and ended the day riding into the sunset in a line.
we also set up Wells Templar bank while we were there.

That place looks awesome Id love to go there one day.
