Brussels, Belgium

2 - 4 of October 2017.

It was a work-trip, but as I had never been to Brussels I was quite excited.

The main square aka The Grand Place is a square containing the Town Hall and Guild Halls, also many restaurants, pubs, chocolate and waffle shops. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is quite understandable the moment you set eyes on it. It screams historic and majestic. On that evening it was all lit up in purple, which made it even more memorable.

Manneken Pis, a tiny bronze statue of a small boy, who has been a peeing fountain since the early 17th century.

There were student days happening all over old town, so it was especially crowded.

PS: There is also Jeanneke Pis - a peeing girl and Zinneke Pis - a peeing dog hidden nearby in the old town.

We were staying at hotel Metropole - a beautiful, old, aristocratic-looking hotel on the border of old town.

A Mexican place Chi-Chi's with great cocktails.

I started hiccuping and could not stop anymore. Our laughter gave quite a spectacle for the staff, so they kindly "forgot" to kick us out when they were closing. They hinted that maybe we would like to pay a good hour later.
