Etap Hotel Antwerp

... UK!<br><br>Brussels airport is emptier than I have ever seen it in my life. There are no more than 10 flights for the rest of the day. Eric and I are alone in the airport lounge, save for a couple of elderly people and their miniature poodle, which is snacking on a croissant. <br><br>We are waiting for our flight - it is delayed by half an hour as I write this. That's just fine, in fact, it can be delayed until ...

... way about. We sat in one of the typical little Belgain bars, where I actually had a beer - Kriek lambic, but still a beer... Then we went and saw Menekin Pis - a fountain on a side street corner of a little naked boy just endlessly peeing... A few times a month, certain groups are allowed to dress him in special outfits, but he didn't have one when we were there. <br>Then it was high time for me to have a Belgian waffle! I chose one topped with banannas, whipped cram ...

... here after checking out the Caves of Pilgrimo- the city's old catacombs restored into a restaurant (too dark for our liking), both of these places are at the left flank of the Cathedral.

ahhhh, the city of Antwerp. What an interesting city. The city itself is very beautiful with a huge city center dominating cathedral and a castle along the river and a nice square just like every other city in Belgium. The great part about Antwerp is the crazy underground tram system and the super friendly people and the great food. We arrived in Antwerp and thought we would take the underground to the ...

... people's standard of living decreases. Workers that drive the economy get hacked off and leave the country. Of course the whole reason that the government sold off public transport and the utilities was to bring in investment and through taking a business approach to running things, improve performance. What somebody neglected to notice was that- - the investment does happen, but only when the operating company decides it I needed. This ...

... Communications. As one would expect these courses are full of papers, papers, papers, presentations of papers, seminars, and more papers. Something that this commerce student is not used to. However, the weightings of everything is very fair, with the largest weighting of a final exam being 30%. All my classes are very small, with a maximum of 20 students and a minimum of 8. The teachers are from all over the world and are extremely ...

... watching this documentary and a waste of money for whoever funded this guy. I think he was trying to make the statement that if man can climb the highest peak, it can also take down the tallest peak. It annoys me now just thinking about it. But all in all, it was a nice museum with lovely English gardens and really good, cheap food. So that was our last day in Holland. We were definitely ready to move on and see Francios and Brussels. We got the early train, arrived in Brussels and ...

Alright another intriguing day in my longwinded journey...I managed to somehow transport myself from Luxembourg City to Brussels...and then got incredibly lost for an hour or so with my 20 kilo backpack in downtown Brussels...ahh good times :p ... I eventually managed tgo find my way to Andree's (A friend of the family's...a cue little 80 year old woman)) and wow was I ever tired ...oh ...
