Brussels- where people just take shits in the street, and leave it there

Brussels, Brussels, Brussels. Well Brussels is in Belgium for those who did not know. Belgium is the home of waffles, good chocolate, and Mannekin Pis. Mannekin Pis is a statue in Brussels that many people flock to see. Its a fountain of a little boy, naked, pissing. Actually water coming out a statues pines. It is suppose to represent a story where a little boy saved the palace from being blown to bits by peeing on a bomb. Anyways its fantastic, and people love it so much that they make outfits for it all the time with strategically placed holes of course. When we saw him he was dress as God knows what with some sort of alien pasta strainer on his head. If this is not enough for you then what will really dazzle you are the hundreds of shops carrying innumerable items in the shape of a small boy peeing. We're talking magnets, postcards, bottle openers, earring, aprons, it goes on. i think my personal favorite was the cutlery set with small boy peeing handles.

Right so Allie and I stayed at a hotel here because they were just as cheap as a hostel. Well we were living in luxury with the two single beds- smashed right together. Honey moon suit for sure!

Anyway besides this great sight the city of Brussels also offers the aroma of straight shit in the air constantly. That's about it. No offence Brussels but didn't really do it for me.

We went to Bruges for a day trip though which was a really cool place. It wasn't bombed during world war two like most of the rest of Europe so all the architecture and scenery is preserved and looks kind of fairytale-esque. There we climb a clock tower and strolled around (it only smelled like shit at the very entrance of one particular building so that wasn't to bad). We went to a Church as well that is the sight of a miracle in that they have some of Jesus' blood. I touched it.

Well Brussels was the place that Allie and I parted way as well. I was to take a train on to Paris, and Allie a flight to Dublin, and then Edmonton. Well while Allie boarded a shanty train to the airport followed by major delays, I boarded a train. Oh did I mention it was first class and somehow got it for cheaper then a 2nd class ticket. Oh and it came with three course meal including smoked salmon mouse, fresh strawberries and wine. Minty.
