Brussels!! - very pretty!!

We train in from Brugge, and we got into the Centraal Station, we took the Metro to our hostel!! Firstly the street name is sooooooooo long that we can't even pronounce it! So, we started by getting lost!! We walked toward the wrong direction!! With our big n heavy bag..... we soon realised that we're heading away from our hostel!!!! then we took a tram back toward where we first started, and overshot it by 2 stops!!!

beer place of over 2000 types of beer!!!

Well to cut the story short, we finally found our hostel after an hour when it's less than 5 minutes away when we first got off Botanique Station!!

After checking in, we head out to the famous Comic Strip Centre where they tell us history of Tin Tin and Smurf... and Asterix and his buddy!! really nice if only the comics on display is in ENGLISH!!@!@

anyway, the next stop was MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) where we get to hear very very nice pieces of musis by Wolfgang .. Mozart, Bach, Lugwig van Beethoven!!

next, was dinner - restaurant after restaurant (just like Lygon st in Melb!) so, Audrey was tricked into 1 of it.. 12 euro for entree, main and dessert!! not a bad deal!! =)

DELIRIUM CAFE - the popular beer place of over 2000 types of beer!!! check out the photos! Aud had HER beer (OUD BEER) !! n it was 9.5% alcohol!!!!!

as for me, the more responsible only had a mango and apple beer!! yummm!!! - well, we spent 12euro on 4 beers!

back in our hostel, we got our beer for 1 euro each!!! BARGAIN!!
