Sometimes you'll end up with some great impromptu adventure on a foggy tuesday morning, when you met your friend sister who is suprisingly your sister neighbour , took the cheap bus from Eindhoven to Antwerp , and a train to Brussel.
Arriving at Brussel central after a dramatical train ride , we have to changed the train in the middle of nowhere , locked in the train for 25 minute and forced to get the next train to Brussel airport, took about 45 minutes extra to reach central station.
But the Grand palace Square worth the hassle , such a massive goldy amazing buildings , a decent christmas tree and beautiful weather , clear blue sky but crispy cold.
The main goal today was visiting the lil pissing man , Manneke Pis, the signature of Brussel , is an icon of Brussel a 61Ā cm bronze sculpture , 800 metres from the grand market square depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Jerome Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place arpund 1618, The current statue is a replica which dates from 1965.[The original is kept in the Museum of the City of Brussels.
Infront of the statue we took pic from a charming lil cafe with lots of bicycles hanging on the wall.
We walked about a kilometres from the lil man , we continue our adventure by hunting the comics strips murals, it was lots of them but we were on restricted time so we just visit some of them.
2 things you really have to eat in Brussel , Fliffing hot sugar waffle and Chocolates ... lots of chocolates!
When in Brussel , you really need to pay a visit to Tintin shop , Tintinis the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Herge, He is a reporter and adventurer who travels around the world with his dog Snowy. The character was created in 1929 and introduced inLe petit VingtiĆØme, a weekly youth supplement to the Belgian newspaper , He appears as a young man, around 14 to 19 years old with a round face and quiff hairstyle. Tintin has a sharp intellect, can defend himself, and is honest, decent, compassionate, and kind. Through his investigative reporting, quick-thinking, and all-around good nature, Tintin is always able to solve the mystery and complete the adventure with his friends Capt. Haddock and professor Calculus.
i really love this church , Our Good Lady of Assistance, i lit a candle for my family and friends.
I have had a fun day, spent some time with my friend, but i still canāt fall in love with you Brussel ...
till next time , Dec 3rd, Brussel
