EUROPE@8:BRUSSEL , BELGIUM

Today is abit special. we had our breakfast at amstersdam, lunch at brussel and dinner at paris...superb.....really one of my daydreaming moment comes true....Our first stop at brussel is the Atomium.Designed by the engineer AndrĂ© Waterkeyn for the International Exhibition of Brussels, that took place here in 1958, the Atomium is a structure that is half way between sculpture and architecture, symbolising an iron of cristal, magnified 165 billion times. Throughout the ages, man has sought to give architectural expression to his desire for height; towers, pyramids, belfries, cathedrals,… The Atomium, in particular, embodies the audacity of an epoch that seeks to confront the destiny of man with scientific discovery. The nine large spheres joined by tubes which comprise the Atomium, are arranged in the configuration of a central cubic system. These spheres, with a diameter of 18 metres, were fitted out by the architects AndrĂ© and Jean Polak. Made entirely of steel clad with aluminium, the structure, at a hight of 102 metres and standing on three enormous bipods, dominates the Heysel plateau. The Atomium was not intended to survive the Exhibition of 1958. Its popularity and success, however, ensured its place as a major landmark on the Brussels skyline.


Next we went the Grand Place, one of europe's most beautiful square. on the way there, we notice this rainbow flag. this rainbow flag is known as the pride flag which represent the gay pride.

At the square, our tour guide took us to view the famous Manneken Pis also known as little man wee. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. A legend says that In the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held their ground for quite some time. The attackers had thought of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Juliaanske from Brussels happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city.
Jeanneke Pis on the other hand which forms a counterpoint in gender terms to the city's trademark Manneken Pis, as it does aurally and geographically, being about the same distance away on the other side of the Grand Place.it was erected in 1987 and endowed with its own instant legend, the better to amuse strollers. This half-metre-high statue of blue-grey limestone depicts a little girl with her hair in bunches, squatting and urinating, apparently very contentedly.


on our way to the jeanneken pis, we have to pass through this seafood streets. mst of the restaurants display their seafood....yummyyyy.....

EUROPE@7:AMSTERDAM,HOLLAND

Amsterdam is the capital of holland. In Holland, they legalize prostitution, gay rights, drugs and abortions. here they allow the drugs to sell over the counter as there is a saying "if you can beat it, you join it". that is why the crime rates is low in holland as people do not have to offend the law to get drugs. kinda cool yeah.... our first stop in holland is the clog factory.


here, the sifu demontrated how the clog was produced.





next, we were gong to the river cruise. in amsterdam, there are 160 canals and lots of bicycles.










the houses along the river ....







the ritz hotel of amsterdam....





this is called the house boat. the house boat cost about 300,000 euros.









after the river cruise, we went to the diamond factory. this is where the diamonds are being polish by the experts.



next, we went to the red light district. too bad we cant take any photographs as the guide advise us not to as a respect to the legalize professions. the professionals will stand in the display glass room just like an aquarium for promoting their display.the rooms are lighted with red florescent light. if you were to require their service, after agreement is achieved for the charges, they will invite you in the display room and pull the red curtains. there are alot of professionals here.different type of race and size..really amazing...how i wish my 2 brothers were here...i bet they will be very excited. besides the professionals, the street is also famous of marijuana.





the shop which is called coffeeshop do not only offer coffee but also marijuana..cooll...
