I spent the day wandering around Brussels. I managed to stumbled into the Grand Place, a gorgeous square surrounded by lavish building with statues and gilded decoration. I took a few pictures there. According to my guidebook, Victor Hugo once called it 'the most beautiful square in the world.'
From there, I walked around a bit trying to find an internet café. Along the way, I found an awesome clothing/underwear store. I tried on some incredibly hot jeans, but, alas, they were too short. I nabbed a pic in the dressing room, so if anyone ever sees a pair like this somewhere else, you must tell me because I want so bad
Grand Place
. I was even tempted to get them and have someone sew an extra bit of denim onto the bottom. Once I access a place where I can upload pics, I'll post it here.Speaking of pictures, there's this awesome building not far form the hostel that lights up at night, with crazy flashing colours and all that. I'll try to get a pic or video if I can.
Other than that, I napped and began re-reading Hero for the fourth time. It's really warm here today, so I crashed in the evening. Afterward, I hung out with Ian, this Irish guy, and we chatted for a few hours before he went to bed and I came to the internet. He was originally in my dorm, but had to switch rooms because he didn't book an extra night and needed it. We actually chatted last night, as well. He's trying to find a place here in Brussels, as he landed a job the other day. As he was planing not have one by now, he had to work around arranging another night's stay.
And after seeing the construction of that last paragraph, it's definitely time for bed. Yow.

hi
those buildings with the lights are actually a new council thing, there are several buildings in brussels which have those lights and they all light up in patterns all over the city.
It's nice to look at.
I'll see you later today, but now I have to go to my interview :-)
