These are the important things in Belgium. The first was Manneken Pis, of course. This was taken on December 1, so he's all dressed up. If I understood correctly, they dress him up each month. December 1 was also the student's celebration of St. Nicholas. So they were drinking in the streets with big semi trucks that were blaring music. They wore silly hats that they get after hazing and lab coats.
These are two of the most important things in Belgium. Beer and Fries.
At night, in the beautiful Old Town square, there's a light show for Christmas. It's amazing.
Then there was Bruges. It's beautiful, but there isn't much to do. After we got back from Bruges, we watched In Bruges. Fittingly.
The last day, we went to the Atomium. It was built for a World's Fair. We saw Mini Europe, but we didn't get to go in because it was too late. We met up with some of Caroline's friends after and spent a night out on the town. Everyone was super friendly and appeared to love Americans! They were all so nice!
