Well as I had mentioned previously Brussels is a really classy city and my ecko cargo pants, Guess fleece, and Gap spring jacket didn’t seem to cut it yesterday hahaha…so I decided to dress up today when walking around. I didn’t put on a suit or anything hehehe but I think I did fit in more with my more dressy clothes. That being said though the people here are soooo nice and not snobby or anything at all. I went around a lot of places today and overdosed on the sweets here hahaha! Ummmmmm Brussels’ waffles with chocolate syrup, bananas, and whipped cream – just thinking of them as I write this makes my mouth water. I also had plenty of chocolate here and that pretty much made up my breakfast and lunch today! Anyways the buildings and monuments here are brilliant and overall the atmosphere in Brussels is superb. I’m very impressed with how chic the downtown area is and can’t emphasize that enough, and the chocolate stores here really are luxurious. One of the sights I went to was a famous statue of a little boy peeing (no I’m not joking)…I can’t remember the proper name for the monument but it was very funny hahahaha. Anyways I was getting very tired and decided to go see a movie (so many people I know have been talking about the Incredibles!) but had missed all the English movies for the day so what better way the spend a Friday night than washing you hair – just kidding I did go to get a haircut though at this nice place in the city center that was open late. Actually that’s another things about Europe that I’ve noticed many hair salons and stuff are open really late! Anyways just to give you an idea of how expensive Brussels is, my haircut cost me 35 EUR…that’s like $50 CAD!!! I was VERY traumatized by that cause I had expected it to only cost my like 15 EUR cause all I got was a wash and cut. Anyways life goes on… And that was pretty much the day; I stuffed myself with lots of sweets and walked till I dropped through the city. Tomorrow I visit Luxembourg!
