Belgium Trip 2011 - Day 2

Hey guys!

Continuing where I left off, Day 2 was a day of touristy stuff i.e. visiting more tourist traps and taking photos. And it was the day we spent oodles of money on food, ranging from Belgian waffles to pasta to deserts to seafood platter!

We went around town again and to the comic strip museum; wasn't that interesting apart from some famous characters such as Tintin and stuff were there. Then we went around looking at sceneries. It was raining that day, so I didn't really have the mood to take lots of pictures as it was windy and cold :(

 Mmmm waffles <3
 Random buildings
 Tintin and what'shisface
 Race track starting/ending here?
 This long arcade made my camera go into a spasm for some reason, it just went nuts in a fit!
 Seafood spagetti
 Seafood tagliatelle
 This is the exit/entrance to the seafood restaurant area. Seriously, if you so much as make eye contact with any waiter or attendant outside, they'll try to pull you into their place. My sis got the most amusing offer: 
"Free massage?" lololol
 Chocolate stuff
 More chocolates!
 Even more chocolates!
 A macaroon pyramid lol
 More waffles! The Belgians seriously are cashing in on their stereotyping
 Manneken Pis during the day, seems a bit better lol.
 This is a palace of some sort.
To the left (right was the palace thing) was this fence made of vine-y.... thing from tree(?) to tree lol.
 The European Parliament building or something, can't remember. When we got off the metro at this place we saw a HUGE red luggage sitting there unattended. First thing that went to mind was "HOLY SHIT WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE". Then I tried, with difficulty, to tell the staff that there's an unattended luggage there. :S
 Some fancy schmancy monument on the right built by King Leopold II. 
The park's called the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
There was a fountain after the arch.
  Then it's dinner time!
 Ohhh yeah baby! Seafood platter! I want some more! One of the ways they catch you into their restaurant is by saying "If you join us tonight, we'll give you a free drink!" Basically all of them did that.
 Shin bought some macaroons in the afternoon, she's crazy for macaroons :P

That's Day 2!

Will post the final day soon!

  2. Haha I miss the kaya and peanut butter waffles :Q

    The toppings are whipped cream and those are the ones which tourists usually go for I think lols!

    To be honest I prefer the Hua Ho one to the western ones. Over here they're thinner and crunchier while I like the soft pancake texture haha
