Weekend in Brussels

Friday evening. I've got a hangover. Yeasterday we played game called power hour. Take a shot of beer in every minute in one hour. I couldn't. And after that to nightclub.

It's been a while I last time wrote something here (again). You might notices that this time language has changed in English. I'll try this at least once because one nameless Polish guy said he wants to hear how awesome he is. So I hope you will read this! (But I'm not going to tell how great you are)

Two weeks ago we made a little weekend trip with Finnish guys to the capital of EU. One of our friends is Erasmus student in Brussels so we had opportunity to visit and sleep at his place.

Our trip started about 12.00 on Friday with the train to Aachen. That went well, but when we were supposed to change a train, revealed that our train has been cancelled. Great. We went to ask about the situation and they recommend going by bus. No way! There was still one train which will go to Brussels so we decided to take that on and wait couple of hours in Aachen. Finally our train arrived in time. It was old and crappy  like straight from the 70's Soviet Union. But atleast it moved and that's enough for me. Finally about 20.00 we arrived to Brussels.

First impression of the city was dirty and disgusting. Lots of homeless people and piss smells everywhere. Wtf? CAPITAL OF EU. I expected something else. Anyway we ignored them and took a metro to our friends place and he was waiting us there. Fast we went buy beer from supermarket and some döner from local döner place. Döners were big and cheap, only about 4e. That was the only thing what was cheap. Our friend told about his heating and energy saving problems. That's so expencive they have to think carefully how to use electricity. 
We drank our beers and headed to city center. Our friend took us to a place where were lots of different beers. If I remember right, there were about 2500 different beer. The place was called Delirium.

On Saturday we hanged around the city and watching sights. Dinner in some Greek restaurant and little bit chocolate from chocolate shop. I'm not so into chocolate but anyway tasted one. It didn't taste so special. Just chocolate. On the evening again to city center taste some beers and back. Early Sunday trip back to Paderborn went better than going there and early evening we were back in Paderborn. 
Peeing boy
What I can say about the trip. At least it was cheap. Going there and coming back cost only 16e and accommodation was free. But Brussels was a shitty city. Now it has been seen and I think I'm not going back there ever again. Belgium is very expensive country and only thing you can do there is try to go throw all of those 2500 beers. I think one weekend is not enough for that.


Last weekend we were in Berlin but I will write about it later. And we booked hostels and flights to London!

Tschüss!
