Sept 5 09

Ik ben in Belgie! In tours like this you're travelling day in day out seeing one country per day. My cam's memory card was full so the pics were taken by my travel roomie Fei Lin =) Belgium was also kinda special cuz it was where I heard The Pussycat Dolls' song Hush Hush for the first time on TV. Haha


Cathedral of Our Lady, listed as one of the world's heritage site in the middle of Antwerp. Town was quiet with typical bookstores, ice cream parlours, souvenir shops and lil boutiques. Both of us visited a church too, and almost crashed a wedding.

Manneken Pis in Brussels is a statue of a boy urinating and is a pretty huge Belgian symbol. We were off to buy chocolates and beside the store at the corner was this big hoopla and at first we thought someone committed suicide or there was a fire, evidently from people staring from a window above lol. Whenever they change his wardrobe, there will be a parade around town with people carrying his statue and him urinating on anyone who passes by. For locals it's a huge deal. As for me I convinced my roomie to escape.

Downtown Brussels. It was super humid so we went to sit in a hotel instead after hanging around town.

Belgian waffles! It's bigger than it looks!

Beer drinking festival.
