Bruessels for me has been quite unremarkable city. It's just too average in almost every way. Reminds me a little bit of Paris, but something is missing. Somehow I'm unable to fell in love with the city. One of my goals in Bruessels was to change that . To find unknown sides and unknown places in Bruessels that are giving me different point of view.
This trip failed in that for several reasons. I was travelling with other people and had more work on the trip than I was expecting, which was actually very pleasent surprise. Still that meant, I took less pictures and walked around less in the city, than I thought I will.
I managed to see finally Bruessels flea market, that was interesting sight to see. Flea markets are something I always want to visit in every city. First they allow me to see more real life and history, than any other place. Also sometimes I get to buy some nice souvenier. This time I got brand new original still in plastic Huey Lewis and the News "Small World" LP. One of my favorite albums and finding something unused from 1988, is strange. Bruessels flea market is pretty unique. There's total trash mixed with antiques and random items. If I would be antique dealer looking for treasures, that flea market is best plce for it among all the other flea markets I have visited probably in last decade.
But that was pretty much it. I really didn't find anything new or remarkable. Strange little trip. Maybe next time. Some photos for you from the trip:
