From Brussels to Paris

2006 March 18, Friday fine

The next destination is known as the European capital of Brussels.

Sitting in the driver see the view next to the old Dong.

He is actually a very talkative person, when speaking of his son, I was surprised to learn that his son in Germany read sophomore who withdrew for a while, now is a two-years of missionary activity. No wonder when lunch yesterday, he said, happiness is defined as "mind firmly believe that God exists" is the most happy, then we all feel strange, but can't say why, I see.

After two state highways lined tree when two humble small card, tell people already entered by the Netherlands to Belgium.

The Golden Dragon restaurant eat Chinese dinner, we went to nearby.

Pedestrians on the lot, there have been visitors sat drinking beer Street. Lui import said go walking Street, take a look at the "seafood Street", but I've been "huyou" spinning round and found nothing, had to give up.

The hotel is known as the Mercure's European hotel chain, big bed and sleep, feeling very comfortable, but still there is no free Internet, but unfortunately, ask the front desk that you can use a credit card, 10 €/2 hours, is too expensive.

2006 March 19 Saturday sunny

Weekend in Europe become more quiet.

First out of the city.

We arrived at the site of Atomic ball, there was no tourists, Atomic ball because of internal decoration and not allowed to visit. Atomic ball to the building is the Brussels Exhibition Center, may also be the cause of the weekend, in addition to the colorful flags fluttering in the breeze, and no visitors.

Once again into the city, the goal is the Royal Palace, urinary child like a big square in the city centre as well.

In the EU headquarters-finished, we came to the city centre. The first time I heard that Brussels has a female urinary child, when we are curious to follow old Dong went to a seafood street next to the end of a lane, only to find that many people don't know, female urinary children like to squatting like, very interesting.

Palace square is a beehive, but four years ago because it was the evening very much, blinded, and now it is sunny spring street artist really pleasant, pulling up the eye red awning, a dozen pieces of art to unorganized square sketches, from time to time there are visitors to ask something.

Is a public voice to attract, to think that my colleagues met acquaintances here, is the University's alumni, in France doing projects. This world is too small, so that it can meet people!

Follow old Dong went diamond centre.

A return is not entered, the time finally opened the eyes. Special far eastern workplaces, Chinese staff worked to distinguish the various diamond, we also can come into contact with some of the best varieties. But it seems no one has the procurement tasks, staff thirsty nor persuade anyone.

Lunch plans to Paris.

The way we still decided to go to take a look at the ancient battlefield of Waterloo. The world's only without all the commemoration of the vanquished ancient battlefield site, nowadays only martial male lion terrace, next to Napoleon's statue, left our endless imagination.

Paris is a romantic city, but after four hours of walk, we see is a crowded and noisy Paris, old Dong said here and always will be the traffic jam, impatience.

50 meter distance dawdling in the last 20 minutes, we present changes to the idea of the hotel, which is the first in the area. Just enter this area, in and out of almost all Chinese, old Chen Dong said here are the most famous department store, may wish to take a look. Don't want to shop for quite a lot of people, in fact, a supermarket, there is a vast assortment of Chinese goods, boxed tofu, coriander and green onion. Lui import that Germany is not in the shop, so to buy authentic products really inconvenient, I suggested she also diverted to the supermarket. This was not the boss, Chen supermarket there is next to the storefront to sell food, meat bun every 1 euro, 10 Yuan RMB, duck, pork, and various fried vegetables, if you do not say is in Paris, thought it was in Shanghai which residents of the community. To go to WC, who knows the girl toilet door is broken, the administrator motioned me into the men's room, next to the time I was embarrassed, and there are men in convenience. Hesitate to have someone rushed in, because there's only one you can lock the door, so had to wait for her to come out. Think about the funny to the charme of Paris was on a men's room. Good supermarket shopping, we went to dinner in the restaurant, the restaurant has not commenced business, shopkeeper, obviously don't want to miss this deal, suggested that we go to the nearby shops around, one hour later for dinner.

Eat, drink, with a late-night snacks from Chen's procurement to the Mercure Hotel in the suburbs of Paris.

In order to oppose the new labour law, France held a national demonstration million.

Paris, the Plaza of Nations have also been reports of unrest marchers.
