Belgium - Brussel

Backdated post on Europe Trip!!

After a short drive, we are now in Brussel! metropolitan city as compared to Brugge.




Best known for its chocolate, waffles and beer, Brussels was paradise for people like myself. A pity i din have the chance to take a bite in the belgium nutella waffles. :(




While every city need an icon; or a hero of some sorts. Like Gotham City has Batman, America has
Paris Hilton and Smallville has Superman, Belgium has 'Manneken Pis'. The little urchin is known worldwide although non-Europeans may not know his origins. The doll-faced youngster strikes a pose permanently 'pee-ing'.



us & the guide.

Everywhere in Brussel was: Manneken Pis Fries, Manneken Pis Ice-cream; Manneken Pis this; Manneken Pis that. totally commercialised.
