Bruxelles, Belgium

After spent 2 days and 2 nights in Paris, we headed to Bruxelles, which is the capital of Belgium. It took about 2 to 3 hours journey by train. And surprisingly, there were a lot of Muslims even Belgium isn't an Islamic country. I didn't know whether they are immigrants or not, but that's cool you know. :p Also, the expense in Brussels was rather cheap than in Paris. Because we didn't have much time in Brussels, thus we only spent our day in the nearby areas, except the Mini Europe.



Have you seen this somewhere in the movie?




As we reached Brussels Central train station at 11 or 12 pm, we decided to go to Mini Europe first because the place located quite far from the station.



Hallo Mini Europeeee~ Tis picca with that orange thing took 5 euros you know. 5 euros. They were so damn clever in making money of other people. Pfftt..


Bout Mini Europe
  • Is a miniature park located in Bruparck at the foot of the Atomium in Brussels.
  • Has the reproductions of the most attractive monuments in the European Union on show, at a scale of 1:25. Roughly 80 cities and 350 buildings are represented
  • The monuments were chosen for the quality of their architecture or their European symbolism.
  • There's a book given to the tourists to guide them through out the visit.

Enjoy the pictures xoxo (p/s: I didn't put the pictures in sequence. Sorry =p )

1euro waffle. Ceeehhh. It wasn't really 1euro. Waffle+Strawberry+Chocolate = 5 euros. Pffttt..



Tis kid, pissing in public.
Manneken Pis :

  • It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. 
  • The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy
  • It bears a similar cultural significance as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid.. 
  • The figure has been repeatedly stolen; the current statue is a copy from 1965. The original is kept at the Maison du Roi/Broodhuis on the Grand Place
  • There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.


Eeeeeyyuuuu... Makan waffle sambil pegang totey. HAHAHAHA
