update from the trips to brussels!

So, its sunday. i uploaded some pictures last night, and am now getting around to posting about brussels and london! First, lets start with …

Brussels!

PB082108we took the train into brussels for a day trip, to visit my 2 high school friends rob and leander! noa and i left about noon, and its a 3 hour train ride to get there! we arrived, and got into the central train station, and went straight out to walk around and see some of the sights. we didint really have any idea of where to go, so we just started walking around. we saw some fun streets like these on the left.

PB082127Another cool thing about begium is that they have a lot of different types of beer, like this store, which boasts 250 different types of beer! i guess they make a lot of different flavors and stuff, like rasberry beer! next time i go visit i need to test out some of these. then we stumbled upon this square, with really nice old buildings. these are shown below…

lastly, we also went and saw “the peeing boy” which is actually really small, i thought it was like a huge statue, but its not. and there were a lot of people just crowding around trying to have a look. pretty funny, i thought. and a lot less interesting than i thought. we just took a picture and left.
