Travelogue A weekend trip to Brussels, Belgium

“A long, long time ago, the Great White told me that the fries in Belgium were especially good.
A long, long time ago, I said to Da Bai, “Let’s go eat then.”
Actually, it wasn’t that long ago, but after I came to Germany, Da Bai found out that I love French fries and mentioned Belgium, and the two of us kept talking about going to Belgium one weekend.
Grand Platz
We left Germany on Friday afternoon, drove for two hours and arrived in Brussels just after 4pm. I chose to walk as it wasn’t too far away, so I took the opportunity to see the sights. It was already dark by the time we reached the square and we happened to be in the middle of a night scene (the golden glitter in the picture above).
I talked to a friend who had lived in Brussels for a while before I arrived and he said that the fries might not always be good, but you must try the Belgian waffles.
On the left is Big White’s and on the right is mine.
The waffles are sold in many small shops around the square, and they are particularly fancy. After choosing the flavours, Da Bai said: you really chose the most complicated one. The waffles look very big and tasty, but maybe I don’t have a sweet tooth.
My friend also said that I must try the Belgian beers
Six types of Belgian beer
Whenever you go to a small bar, there will be a row of beers like the one pictured above, designed for tourists to try Belgian beers. Before you drink, the Great White says: Belgian beer is different from German beer, Germany is basically pure wheat, Belgium will add all sorts of things you would not expect, so be prepared. After tasting it, I found that it was really different, and I was not able to accept the cherry flavoured beer (crying face). The alcohol content of Belgian beers is slightly higher than other places, and as a small drinker I was actually a bit dizzy after three glasses?

A beer shop around the square, probably a collection of over 200 Belgian beers, is a delight to the eye.
St Hubert’s Arcade Street
Wandering around the square with the Great White, we came across St Hubert’s Arcade, an indoor boutique shopping festival, which is really nice at night, and where you can meet one of the oldest chocolate shops in Belgium, “neuhaus”.

In time for the Christmas season, the windows are very nice, but it’s also really cold, although the bar is prepared with blankets and heating, but still shivering ah!
It was too cold so I went back to the hotel early to rest, took a hot shower and slept warmly.
The next morning I took part in a walking tour organized by students, the sunny weather, the cold clean ah.
I passed by the park from yesterday, the autumn was really beautiful!
We decided to go to a museum of musical instruments and paid an extra 2 euros to rent a machine that allows you to enter a code and listen to the sounds of various instruments, which is still quite interesting.
After the museum, we went to the legendary Atomium Tower with Da Bai, which cost us a little over 8 euros for a round trip by metro.
ATOMIUM
This atomic tower is better to look at the outside, the inside is boring for me, but not enough culture!
A staircase in the interior of the Atomium tower, which feels like it leads to heaven. Standing at the top of the Atomic Sphere Tower, it’s 93 metres high, I think.
But it’s worth seeing the Mini Europe next to it, it’s also worth a look.

It was already dark after Mini Europe, so the big white guy said happily: it was time to go and eat the best Chips in the world.
The photo was not very good, but it was really good, a very small shop with no seats, but many restaurants around the area accept people who want to eat fries. The big white lined up for more than half an hour to buy it, really delicious to burst, the big white bought a big box, a layer of bread, a layer of meat, a layer of fries, a layer of sauce, really is the magic way to eat ah ha ha my barbecue sauce is also very good.
The walking tour guide said: waffles to eat on the roadside cart, 2 euros a very delicious, but also anti-freeze. Chocolate can go to the supermarket to buy Galler this brand of the best, good value for money oh.
After eating the fries it was already seven o’clock, and the big white walk all the way back to the hotel, very much like the feeling of traveling together. I went to the sauna at night to sweat it out and sleep in the sauna, so I went home the next day.
