Again in Bruxelles, for one week. Time to rest a little bit :)
This monument is called Atomium, built for Expo '58, it's like a message from the past about the Future's Look, also reminded me about the classic SF, which was really in vogue those years, one year after the Space Race begun...
Well, not only in my opinion the Belgian Beer is the best beer in the world. These guys have over 600 brands, their brewing tradition being for over one thousand years, many of them still made in the abbeys, by the monks. I have to tell you that here the beer has a different taste. It's like you didn't taste a beer before. As you begin to drink the beer from here, a new definition of the beer is printing in your brain. Even Stella Artois is different :)
Bruxelles is well known for its estaminets, sort of pubs, where you can drink as many beers you like till you can't no more. Finally, when you're able to rise from the table to go home or whatever, when you're trying to leave behind the estaminet you're just seeing another one on the other side of the street... And here we go again :)
Bruxelles is also known as being the capital of bandes dessinées (comics). Here you can find many stores dedicated to this culture, within whole isles are only with manga. Any Belgian has in its library at least few comic books, any city I visited - no matter how small it was - having at least one store dedicated to comics.
