Manneken Pis--- the legend as the boy who saved Brussels from fire by extinguishing it with his urine
FUcK this huge green backpack of mine!!! it has became the bane of this whole trip!! Not only it has cost me almost 600 SGD to move it around the world , it hinders my movements and seriously fucking irritates me to the core.
Brussels signs are written in Flemish or French, sometimes english. and my Couchsurfing host, Alain lives in Linkebeek which is damn fucking far from the city. Even some of the locals dont know where it is.. after a series of asking , fumbling and the torture of dragging this fucking green bag around, i finally reached Alain's palce,...
he is such an awesome n interesting host!! A PHD in biomolecular cancer research but look like some gangster.... a ponytail, huge bike, go to bars, divorced and having a married wife as his gf! u simply cant guess that he is a 60- yr old man!
chatting with him gives me such a huge insight in life! Rory gallager, george best, 9/11 theories, are some of the things i would neva forget...
Brussels is the smallest n by far the most uninteresting city !!... but Linkebeek n Alain makes it sooo unforgettable ... n this once again, is what makes a place awesome
