Last month I spent some time in four countries in Europe, I had fun but
at the end of the trip I realised that I did not rest which tends to
happen all the time when I go on holiday. Being an early bird, my body
clock automatically comes to life at such an early hour. Here are my
impressions on each city:
BELGIUM
Brussels - This city did not grow on me, not
in the least. It is beautiful but for some reason, I found getting to
places somewhat tedious and different places seemed far from each other.
I am unsure whether this was all in my head. At some point despite
having maps, I ended up chatting with bus drivers on where I planned to
go, they gave their advice which helped. Transportation can be easily
accessed, there are metros and buses that run through the city. I was
meant to meet someone who has lived there for over a decade but at the
end, we were unable to meet. However, after my discussion with her, we
both agreed that Brussels is rough at the edges and might best be
enjoyed when a local shows you around. I speak French so I had no
trouble communicating but I noticed that in the tourist areas, locals
were more than happy to speak English.
