A small STL reunion in Brussels

The moment Maria, Cezara and Alessandro walked into Brussels Centraal Station... Jack and I ran over and the five of us were just hugging and kissing. I was overjoyed to see the three of them again. =D It has been 2 months since I left my trainee life in St Louis, and their faces reminded me of all those happy times in STL. Eddy and I stayed with Cezara while Jack and LiChing stayed at Maria and Alessandro's place. Cezara have a great apartment, really nice and comfy. I really cherished the girl talks with Maria and Cezara... and enjoyed the company of Allesandro's hillarious humour. Just writing this now makes me nostalgic, and I am missing them already.

Brussels is quite an expensive city compared to Paris. I was quite surprised by that. The one part of Brussels that I really love... is the Grand Place. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful square I have ever visited in Europe: the elaborate city hall and the beautiful guild houses with its golden roof. Its hard to describe, and even pictures doesn't do enough justice. The Palace of Justice is the biggest and most grand supreme court I have ever seen. Quite an amazing building from the outside and also the inside.

On our last night, we did IT again!!! We forgot to make our train reservation and we could only get on the next train to Geneva the next morning!! By the time we realised this, Maria and Alessandro already left Brussels and only poor Cezara was left. Due to obligations to her roomate, she could not take in the 4 of us... and she was feeling so bad that she wanted to pay for hostel for the 4 of us. After some hours, we managed to convince Cezara that we will pass the night drinking at a bar, then we will be at the station till the next morning. Sure enough, we did that... plus when the station closed for 3 hours, we rested by the cathedral. Umm... I also did an embarassing thing, but I will only tell u in person!! Hehehe... This was quite an adventure... and what a FINALE for Brussels! ;o)
