Euro Trip - Belgium

Honeymoon - Part 8

Date: 21 February 2010

Brussels

We left Holland and headed to Belgium. Our stay in Belgium was really short, just enough to roam the city of Brussels.

Atomium

First, we had a photo stop at Atomium, originally built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair... Hasben and I took so long that we were the last to board the bus. Although the Atomium is only one monument, we had many different poses with it.. hehe!

Grand Place

In Brussels, we visited the Grand Place, considered to be the most beautiful town square in Europe. The buildings were Gothic and there were painters selling paintings at the square. During spring, the square will be decorated with flowers - I'm sure that will be more beautiful.

The beautiful paintings!

We went shopping for... wait for it... Belgium chocolates! Said to be really good... we bought boxes of it (which melted in the plane ride back home!!)...

Mouth watering free samples!!

Next, we visited the iconic Meneken Pis, a statue of a little boy peeing into the fountain... what a rsacal!

Meneken Pis!

I forced Hasben to do this, poor boy!

Afterwards, we bought some souvenirs and walked around the shop lots... I saw a Kipling shop with discounts, but too bad it was closed.

Hasben paying for stuff..

Window shop from a distance!

Goodbye Brussels, we're leaving for Paris next!

Bald Rock National Park, NSW

Date : 3rd November 2013 Bald Rock is a 3-hours drive from Toowoomba and I have been thinking of visiting it since last year. But I was not sure if it was a suitable trip for an infant. However, it is the largest granite monolith in Australia, which means it is a must-go! So best buds, Julie Zac and Zayra came to visit on 1st November. Was not sure where to bring them around Toowoomba. Oh well, let's try hiking then! Sunscreen for everyone!: At first, I was thinking of bringing Kimi's stroller through the Bungoona Walk. The Summit Direct Walk would be out of the question. A lady who just got down advised that it was not a good idea... And thank God for that... (What was I thinking??!) We had a plate of fried rice each at the picnic table to fuel us with energy! The best thing was, my 2 year old son was just as excited as the adults. He wanted to walk (or run) on his own and made it to the top! After walking half way, the view started to become ver...

Book: Sushi for Beginners

-
Image
Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to ...
