shopping tour
today we slept long (breakfast is until 10:30 here at the hotel,
which is pretty cool), and went to town after having our "petit
dejeuner", to go shopping. the only thing we really planned was
to see the female part of the pissing trilogy. we already saw
the boy, the dog, so there was still the girl to find. our guide
said it is located in a dead-end street somewhere in the centre
of the town. since the girl is not on the tourist-guide signs
one can see all over the town - and they help tourists really
very much when doing sightseeing - it was a bit hard to find her
first. additionally, when we got there, there were only two
japanese and three italians in the very narrow and dark street,
so not really much people searching for the girl, as it seems.
the fountain with the pissing girl unfortunately was locked away
by iron bars, and the statue itself was a squatting girl with
spread legs, but it was not pissing. guess it was because it's
winter (although the boy actually was pissing). je suis tres
triste!
shopping was - of course - fun, though we didn't really buy too
much. most of the cloth shops here are the same as in austria,
like H&M, esprit, zara, pimkie, C&A (yeah, i bought a trouser
there - wohoo!), nafnaf, benetton, etc. after several hours of
pure playsure we returned to the hotel again and had loads of
fun with tv series and movies again. so far we had fun with
"friends", "knight rider", louise de funes movies, "buffy", "CSI
miami", "CSI [someother-place]", "naruto", "pokemon", etc, etc.
if you think we're watching loads of tv, you're wrong.
later that day we made use of the hotel's shuttle-bus that
drives from the hotel to the centre of bruxelles to get some-
thing to eat. zombiequeen ate a quiche and i had a burger. both
things were very good.
