So, right now I should be chillin out in Hotel Podoli in Praha, but.... not the case.
I am, infact in Brussels chillin in a awesome guys apartment. Decided that we are too addicted to spend time apart so I accidently missed my flight and instead got on a bus to Brussels.
Its so good to be out of Paris, my debit card will remain eternally grateful, as will the Parisians since they wont have to endure my lame attempts at French conversation.
Im glad to get a chance to look around BXL properly. This city is really cool, really chilled, and really pretty. Walking around the centre on a Friday night was a real eye-opener. Ive never seen such a relaxed city centre, the only raised or agresive sounding voices belonged to UK tourists. The binge drinking culture is a very UK thing. In a country with such a strong tradition for beer etc it cool to see that they know how to handle it. The UK has a lot to learn.
We broke into this station today, well kinda station. During the week its a fully functioning train stoppy place thing, and on the weekends it becomes a party venue. Makes me think of a civil servant who wears pretty womans garters. The interior is totally covered in graf and has stages an everything. We NEED to try n rent this place for a party, check out the pics.
Aparently Brussels biggest tourist attraction is Manneken Pis. Its a small statue of a pissing boy, and somethimes they put a Kimono on it....... Damn these crazy euro cats. I would love to attach a picture, but frankly it so underwhealming its not worth the band width. There are way better things in this city, the people and the culture for example.
Another thing I thought was cool. On our way from the bus station, we walked past a massive stage in the middle of the city. There was some Techno DJ playing to at least 100 people. It was about 11 at night and this was LOUD. The bass was fkn amazing. The best part was, there where no complaints etc to or from the coucil, they where the organisers! They've organised a whole series of these things all over the city. Like I said, UK has a lot to learn. I'll always love London, but the holes are begining to become far more apparent.
Theres so much more to talk about, but its late an Im tired. Take square.
