A highly impressive sculpture that greeted our eyes as we made our way towards our hostel in Brussels. Actually, it's nothing special... but somehow, it being shaped as such and mount on water made it slightly more impressive than I would have thought it is under normal circumstances. =P
Okies. Now that we're done admiring sculptures... ONWARDS!
This is our hostel - Sleep Well. It's more like a hotel than a hostel. And of course... the rates are like a hotel's as well. Heh at least we're comfortable. :) And Look, there's a miniature mannekin pis - the famous 'symbol' of Brussels. All tourists flock there to see it... We aren't exceptions of course...
It really is very very small. See? About the size of our heads. Grin but the two of us decided to practise taking photos of ourselves with it. Heh we stood there and snapped so many shots that a shop owner from opposite actually came and offered to snap a picture for us. =P hee It was fun trying to capture a nice shot though. In some of the shots, you don't even see the little pee-ing boy!
I did say every European city had an old town sort of this. This is the Brussels version: Grand Place. Frankly, it was breathtaking. It felt removed from reality...
That's us, photo-whoring at Grand Place. =P
Btw, Brussels has its fair share of talent as well. =P I love that staircase motif on the wall and these two men who were posing and amusing the passers-by. =)
And this one who sits at the same spot night after night producing beautiful pieces like the one you see above.
Of course... no European city is complete without churches. Here's Notre Dame of Brussels for you.
And this.. Uh. Heh I happened to see it and found it highly amusing. It isn't everyday you see a pair of boots hanging from cables high up above. =P
I kinda forgot what this is though... the name that is. Herm - do refresh my memory if you see this k? Anw, we were sorta stalked around here when it was quieter. There are weird characters around no matter where you are, it seems... Oh well, Herm will protect me. =)
This... is a tribute to Wendy. grin Hope you like it! =)
Well... I did say Chocolates Galore, didn't I? =) Sweet, bitter, dark, milk, white, nuts, liquor... you name it, they have it. =)
And Waffles... =) Brussels waffle is the rectangular one... Liege waffle is the oval one coated with honey. =) Both are good. I prefer liege waffles though. Yums
Dinners were always good. Heh I suppose we haven't tightened our belts. It was too early into the trip. =P But the whole tub of mussels sure was satisfying... no wonder Herm misses it. =)
Hm nearing the time for Elayne's birthday party. Gotta wash up a little. So that's all for now!
Though I know you want more photos~ =P Hehs I'll try not to be lazy and post the rest soon.
All right. Leaving you guys with a last photo. Heh, this - in a very warped manner - reminds me of KM. hahhaa Lin, you agree?
