Brussels, Belgium in one night

Brussels was great. We ended up staying for only one night. Turned out to be the one night of the year that they have this huge festival. We ate waffles, belgium chocolate, and went to a famous pub Delirium that had hundreds of beers from around the world.

The palace in the middle of the center sqare. Very pretty.

Part of the palace.
Apparently Brussels has a festival that only goes on once a year and we were randomly there that night! Everyone came out in different colors and cultural garb. People were handing out free beer.

Raspberry Beer- Brussels has ton of fruity beers that are very sweet

Mannequin Pis- i.e. little boy peeing fountain. It was so small!! After I got my photo a group of chinese men took pictures of me and my friends in front of this statute. So I'm in some random people's photo albums around the world.


Neuhaus Chocolate! I tried so many of these! They are famous for their pralines, which is just chocolate filled with something yummy.


Picture of a map to remind me that we went to the EU Commission in Brussels. This was the most interesting thing to take a picture of. Very disappointed we had to were a suit to this place. It consisted of a small room with a four hour lecture at 8am. Snooze!



Waffles were amazing! These should be found everywhere!


My large beer at the hotel. Much needed after a long day of extreme disorganization. But Brussels was fun! Love to go back.
