Beautiful Brussels

Brussels. Truly a treat for the senses! We kind of started the day wrong as we got lost trying to look for the Manneken Pis, the statue of the peeing little boy that Brussels is so famous for. 

We didn't really care though, because we were kept distracted by the beautiful store windows and other interesting sights.



There he is! We finally found the peeing little boy. I don't get why he's famous though. His outfits are cute, they get changed every time there's an occasion. 


This is such a touristy shot. Haha I love Godiva's Hazelnut Flavored Coffee!!! Yum yum. 


Street Food-- Manila: Isaw ; Brussels: Escargot! Sosyal


Oh my gosh. Can you even imagine how good these waffles smelled? I REALLY wanted to try one -- I assume that Brussels would have great Belgian Waffles right? BUT my mom was in such a hurry. Not even a taste. BOO! 



We didn't have any idea where to eat so we stepped inside the first restaurant that we saw. The waiter got our orders wrong, we ordered soup and he gave us bread. I think it was the first time that I didn't complain because OH MY GOD it was the most delicious bread we've ever tasted. Think bread with lots of butter, garlic, mushrooms and other secret stuff (sorry for my lack of a better description, I don't know how to cook. haha) . YUM. 


AND my favorite place! The Grand Place. I can't even begin to describe the beauty of this place, so I'll bombard you with photos so you can see for yourself.



Japanese tourists. Guides normally use umbrellas so that the group would see them from afar. I love that she chose to use a red flower instead. Haha







And let me end this entry with photos that will definitely leave your mouth watering. 
I left this place with bags full of chocolates. I didn't even share. :)
