Brussels was fantastic... Had a great time there... everything was within walking distance, so mummy and i had a good workout walking to all the destinations (though both if us were dead tired at the end of the day)... Grand Place was juz Amazing, it was juz, grand, ya know. The buildings were beautiful. Full stop. I dun think i have seen any other town squares that look as amazing as this one. will post pictures soon.
The Hotel is the amazing cheap Hotel Ibis off Grand Place. Very new, furnishings were brand new, I'm not sure if the hotel was actually fully completed as the light bulbs were hanging on their cables, ya know? Could be a supposed chic/boutique style deco, but i doubt it. Location was fantastic, had a great rooom with a great view. Location was superb. 2 minutes from the Grand Place and everything else.
Eurostar is like a really cheap 2-star airline or sth like that. But the journey was smooth, fast (and i mean really fast) and the announcements sound like aeroplane ones. So yeah, it can be like a pseudo aeroplane journey for 2.5 hours.
Took a lot of photos. Also managed to catch the Meybloom festival, which was very interesting (involves the planting of a tree in the Grand Place). Almost didn't want to come back to work again (as with most holidays, isnt it).
I was going to say something else, but I forgot. Oh well. The new Jane Green book is out tomorrow (or today) and its titles "The Other Woman", which almost makes me NOT want to buy the book now... and the review is not that great either. So I'm not going to spend 10 bucks on a book which i might not really enjoy.
Tomorrow... big day for Singapore, as it is only our 2nd leadership handover... I was juz reading all the reports about him and even though i have never seen/met or spoken to him before, he juz seemed so sincere and humble, so REAL, ya know. And I can't imagine Lee Hsien Loong to be like that. He's probably going to be more like LKY, i suspect. But we'll see.
