La Platz a nuit
Strong Kwak brewski.A few weeks ago I was in Brussels. http://www.brussels.org/ It was nice to be in Europe for a few days. It's so not Asia. The architecture, the weather, the people and the food - all different. It's not the US either. Very continental with people dressed stylishly, outdoor cafes, french speakers. I was there three days and enjoyed the break.
Brussels is like a mini Paris. Looks similar, sounds similar but smaller. I was able to eat real fresh bread, meat and cheese!
One night we went to the Grand Platz and enjoyed the light and sound show. Kind of a Bellagio Fountain thing only the lights were on a real old building and the music was more Phantom of the Opera meets the Gypsy Kings then Sinatra. Had some pretty good beer - high octane, funky shaped glass - part glass part wood. http://www.trabel.com/brussel/brussels-cityofbeer.htm
After a few days I made the long trek home (13 hours!) but got to fly one of the new Singapore Airlines flat bad biz class seats. Great comfort. It was bigger then man people's office cubes.
