Bruges

Another post full of pictures of me. =)

I am so tired of writing so this is another picture blog.

Me waiting for the tram in Stokkel station, Brussel Belgium.

Tadaa.. The house that we stayed for 3 days. It's simply peaceful

Interior of the house we stayed. Gosh I wan a house like that too :)

The world first shopping mall. But the stuff inside is simply unaffordable. Euro ler.. scary

The second day, we headed to Bruge it's a small city 45 mins from Brussel. It is quoted as the most beautiful city in Europe.

Once reach, we hungry ghost people headed off to FOOD.

Pisang Ambon anyone? A cocktail mix that you supposed to mix with orange juice. Didn't try it though.

 My sei han ku and the superb host ( my sei han ku's friend)

The food we had:
1) Bread with butter ( duh, it's typical in all western food)
2) Homemade goose liver with apple sauce
3) Mussels ( Omigosh, it's so delicious)

4) Spaghetti in seafood sauce with more mussels.
5) Stew Bambi
6) Mussel shell wtf
7) Belgium fries
8) Dessert ( highlight of the entire course mandarin sherbet with Belgium dark chocolate with 2 piece of melon )

 In Brugge, weather not so good, it's raining cats and dogs but the scenery is simply splendid.

Behind me is Stadhuis one of the oldest and finest town hall in Belgium which was built in 1376. Don't doubt,  I copied from a guide book.

Beauty of it's historic center with those winding lanes and picturesque canals in lined with medieval building was the glory of a town. Once a center of international cloth trade which flourished for 200 years. Until today this place is well preserved, there is no high rise billboard and the traffic here is regulated.

The view of River Dijver one of the canals in Bruges. See the rain/ frost/ snow I don't know what's that but it melted once it touch the ground.

Belgium is famous for it's embroidery works and world class lace.

 

It's an environmental friendly place, people do walk or use bikes.

 

Manneken Pis this  famous statue is located at the junction of Rue de l'Étuve/Stoofstraat and Rue du Chêne/Eikstraat. To find it,take a left turn from the famous Grand Place and walks a few hundred meters to arrive at the spot. The statue will be on the left corner.

There are several historical stories about this statue. It was a TINY statue of a young boy pee-ing and it was believed the he was a son of duke caught urinating against a tree in the midst of battle and was thus commemorated in bronze as symbol of this country military courage.

Another gold statue located on the side wall of Hotel de ville and it was believed that you touch the golden statue it will bring you back to Belgium one day.

and of course of kiasu-ism, I touch it for 3 times, because this city is so beautiful that I would like to come back a few more times.

Back at home. Admiring some pictures.:)
