Whose Shadow is it?!?!Whose Shadow is it?!?!Whose Shadow is it?!?!

haa from the comic museum and I have no idea....!
So true, for such a country, the train station of this capital really sucks. Stinks like a bathroom at first arrival...'There are major renovation going on I think so hopefully it will be better soooon....

Anyhow, this capital deserves more than a day to visit ga!!! but, limited time for me...haaa!
First headed to the Mrkt Sq and WOWOWOWOW. The Kathedral there just comes right in your face and its facinating to seeeeee!!!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! The arches.....the towers.....the white colour......WOAH....Loved it! and the tourist office is right there!!! haaaa!
So, asked for info about the EU Parliament tour, which was sth I really wanna check out...then had some time before the tour so went to the Musical Instrument Museum.

This museum had a HUGE collection of traditional and modern instruments and they have music to listen at every corner of the museum as well!!! Its like an open concert!! so ying!!!! saw some pretty weird and amazing looking instruments ne!!!!! some I saw selling in this store nearby!!!!! but they were so expensive...=(

That took a while then I went searching for the bus that the guy at the tourist info ctr told me to take to the
Comic about European CountriesComic about European CountriesComic about European Countries

very nice comments and stereotypes! wahhaaaa!
parliament. went to the street and NO BUS#93 nor 96!!!!!!!WTF? So went to take the metro to get there. AHHHHHHHHHHH I GOT LOST!!!!!!!!!!!! and then missed the tour time!!!!!! DAMNIT.......so well, realizing that, I quickly went back into town and went to the comic museum! haaaaa... They mainly talked about French and Belgium comics and wow! I didnt know the SMURFS were originated in Belgium! US bought the copyright and made it big some 20 years after it came out here! ging ah! The huge one tho, was TinTin, which I actually didnt know anything about...HAaaaa!
There were loads of comic to read there but all in French!!!! argh...><" too bad.....
It was a nice museum though, and an expensive one...=P

After that went to the atomic tower thing....then a church with urinal on the outside wall! haaa..interesting, wonder why they put it there in the first place......

Had dinner at this soup restaurant...very delicious and FULL! haaaa...
Then back to Antwerp lu!
