Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium

Yesterday ( April 30th) I had the opportunity to join a russian tour group from Moscow on a day trip to Belgium. It was great, we had a russian tourguide and i felt like a regular Moscow student. After a realization that i am indeed American i realized that Russian kids are hella smart! O well. lol



Anyways, Antwerp was beautiful. This is a picture of a castel. The statue of the Giant looking angry at drunks is a Belgian myth saying that a gian ghost roamed the city and scared drunks yet gave candy to kids. Quite a cute story.

Then we went to Brussels and had a yummy Belgian Waffle. The city is great and It would deffinately be one i'd like to live in. Its spacious with many beautiful plazas yet tiny winding streets with an Italian/French feel to them. People speak Flemish andi found them to be are very nice. What a great day!



Ohh, and this picture is of a man statue. Supposedly if you rub his whole body, then a dog on the top and a mouse below him, you will return to Belgium and will have good luck. All tourists rub him. It's as though he keeps getting mallested over and over again lol!!! yes.. i rubbed him too ;)
