Hello again, guys! I’m baaaack. I’m not sure if anyone’s waiting for me but I’m just going to let you know that I have a new post for you. If you follow me on instagram, you should’ve known by now that I went to Brussels last week. We had the worst luck during this trip: our bus broke down on the way there, it rained on and off during most of our time there, it stormed in Germany while we were in Belgium which ruined our train schedule and we were pretty much stranded on our way home. But I’m glad we went there, which is something I’d been wanting to do since last semester. It was, all in all, a rather fun albeit seemingly short trip.
This post has been broken down into four parts from the originally compiled post.
The first thing I noticed as our bus finally entered the precipice of Brussels was how the buildings are stacked right next to each other and they have various heights and styles, which make them look all the more beautiful and interesting. Since our bus broke down and set our schedules back over two hours, we decided to just go and visit places we can’t enter or can just appreciate from the façade. These are the Palais Royal, Cathedrale Saint-Michel and all the buildings in Grand Place. We also checked out the Manneken Pis, which is rich with hilarious legends and history. It rained constantly on the first day, much to our disappointment. But we made do. Grand Place later on became one of our most visited squares and my personal favourite spot.
