Brussels

On the way from Antwerp to Brussels, i saw...a proton wira! I also saw some pharma company office such as Abbott, Sanofi, but no Merck.I always like to look into the window of people house. The houses here all without grill. I can saw a women cooking, another women look out from the window...Brussels had a square same as Antwerp but in bigger scale. The architecture also almost the same with all the guild house. As Belgium had been greatly influence by French in many aspect, some the people spoke french here. Compare with Amsterdam, Brussels got more 气势。
The square was full of people. Tour guide drop us in front of the square and let us browse the city ourself. I asked her, where is the famous mannekan-pis? She say: follow this road, turn at the third junction and it is on your left.
We had walked according to what tour guide said. After turn at third junction, we found nothing. On our left is another road. Where the hell is the peeing boy? I told allysa, look where got most people then there he is.Suddently allysa say "neeh" WTF...he is just beside us.
It seem the "legend" is true. Allysa told me before this statue is too small and people hardly recognize it. And it is more true when he been covered by some Equator custom. What the...cant even saw his face.
Belgium is also famous for its laize and chocolate. This codiva is one of the high class chocolate in malaysia as well as in Brussels. I only try it once, which is a gift from one of the doctor. He gave us a small pack of Codiva chocolate during our event in Penang and guess what, that small pack cost RM20!!
However the chocolate store here is so good until you can test eat. They will give you quite a big pcs for testing upon you enter the store. So this is another way for backpacker like me enjoy free thing along the journey!

Waffle is another famous food here. People eat it by adding in ais cream, fruits, chocolate...
Manneken - pis - the famous landmark attraction here so there are many souvenir custom made only for him.
It seem like carrefour is quite famous in europe, they call it express carrefour. Just like our 7- eleven here.As usual, they sold a lot of type of beer inside.And as usual also, Allysa bought some junk food from here.
I didn't try the mussel, the waffles but i ate Australian ais scream! What the... this one should eat when i go Australia ma.... It cost me E2 but very delicious i think is due to the hot weather!
I asked tour guide: what is the event that people celebrating today? She say : some sort of cultural event. The she added: In fact, they will find something to do or celebrate every weekend. (3 black line appear on my head)
There are music and dance performance by people from different region. This mushroom head ( i call them) gave the most impact because 1) they had big mushroom head 2)they wear very high and thick clog,3) they throw orange to audience.
Here come the Equato dancer. Another manneken-pis...hehehe, but the music they play is really nice.
It is very tricky to shoot the photo inside the square. It is because the buildings was build in a close rectangle. No matter where the sun is, one row of the building will in front of the sun and its shadow will project on another row of building.some time, the building is half dark half bright.
Another statue on top of the building.
