Belgium

Hello.

I was in Brussels, Belgium.

We went on Wednesday, back on Sunday. Went on the Eurostar, lovely thing! Takes 2 hours to take you from Central London to Central Brussels. Via France. Amazing.

Brussels was cool. A lot of what to do is based on food, drink, and chocolate. Belgian chocolate being very famous. Oh and their favourite dish is "Moules et Frites" - Mussels and Chips! Really good thati s.

Best thing is that the country speaks French and German. So everything is double - road signs, menus, announcements, train stations. Everything.

The city itself is a curious mix of West and East. It's as if Western Europe and Eastern Europe had a child. It's like Paris mixed in with Prague. Prague being the coolest of course ;)

Finally, it's also the home of comics. Smurfs, TinTin etc. All Belgian. Which is why they have things in the street like the one in the picture :o)
