We're in Brussels for a night. Our flight out to Egypt originates from here. I was here in March with Narv so the stuff that we saw today is also stuff that I saw back then. The Manneqin Pis, Atomium, and stuff like that. We had a weird run in with one of the restaurants here. We wanted Moules frites, which is mussels and french fries so we went to the tourist-trappy area that does this. There are about 9 million restaurants doing the same thing and the maitre'd of them come out and try to hook into coming into their restaurant. We had agreed on a special of 1kg of mussels, a free drink and desert for a set price but the woman tried to change it after she served the drinks. There was a lot of screaming - and almost some tears - as they argued with us about what was agreed upon. We finally got away and had the moules frites somewhere else. It wasn't the greatest but it's a conventional Belgium dish. This is a picture of a piece of work in the window of an art house near our hostel. I think it's pretty neat.
