Brussels

Well, Brussels is a very confusing place. The first half of our day was spent trying to find the tourist information. People kept telling us to go to the 'Centrum'. All well and good, but little did we know that this Centrum was actually french for 'Centre' and that they called the entire city district the 'Centrum'. Eventually we found it on our own, got a sweet map, saw a Tintin shop (i almost cried, eveything is so expensive! i.e. a small Tintin figurine is 120 euro), ate Belgian Waffles and eventually found... The Comic Book Art museum! Hooray! This was the only place in Belgium I wanted to go because Belgium is the home of Tintin, who is pretty much my most favourite dude ever. The museum was fantastic and there were heaps of awesome comics there. I had such a good time. I even bought myself a small Snowy from the gift shop.
After that we had some tasty foods and went to a supermarket to buy some Belgian beer to try.

The next day was such a write off. Everything we did we ended up having trouble with. Buying wrong tickets for the bus/train, everything being shut, us being tired and irritable etc etc and so forth. We ended up just buying some chocolate and buying some more beer and going back to the hotel to eat/drink/sleep. Brussels, you're not so fun.
