bonjour de Bruxelles!

Brussels. i live here now, in the capital of Europa and in a city with more than one million inhabitants. what i learned so far:

- the houses here aren't just ugly and grey, they often are quite pretty too
- Manneken Pis really gets dressed up
- people get crazy when they actually see Manneken Pis (and accept he's a bit smaller than expected)
- you get the best view over the city from Parking 58's rooftop.

it's my birthday today! my mom baked the best fig cake, the sun is out and i'll celebrate with friends in the garden.

wooden houses and the sea

i've finally been a good Dutchie and visited the famous Volendam (and even took the boat to pretty Marken!).

when in Prague

- join the New Europe Tours for a never too expensive, but fun, city walking tour
- stay at the pretty Artharmony hostel
- search for the John Lennon Wall, because it's not only touristy, but also quite pretty
- dance your ass off in the strangest club you'll ever go to (i guess), Cross Club
- eat the best best best (no guessing here!) vegetarian food at Lehká Hlava, which besides has a starry ceiling
- look at the pretty view from Vyšehrad
- and go visit stationery haven, called Papelote.
