brussels
Monday, February 26, 2007

two months back while miss joanne lee was visiting mememe, we went to brussels! thick fog, cold weather, nice friendly people, cheap(er) food, and thankfully our flight weren't cancelled due to the sucky weather =)

brussels is a considerably small city and we covered most of the tourist attractions in 1.5days - our hotel was located in the other end of the city (where all the designer shops were at! nyahahaha) but we still managed to walk to the city centre although public transports were easily available within the city. french is their main language, but most of them know some english so it was okaay - by the end of the trip we were dreading to go back to england after being in 2 french-speaking cities for a week =]
