Brussels 2000

       Brussels presented us quiet for a change. Its decelerated pace (after London everything moves very-very slow), was a nice transformation. At the heart of Brussels is the Grand-Place square. There, one could spend days and still be amused with gazing at the magnificent palace and surrounding Gothic buildings. Of course, the must see attraction: peeing boy - Manneken Pis - who is supposed to embody the "irreverent spirit" of the city. 
       I even went to a local rave. It was OK, but Buffalo has better ones. Very surprising!
       Anastasia was my fearless leader through Belgium, and handled the task of a guide flawlessly. First night we stayed at the youth hostel. That was cool. Then we moved to a hotel.
