Tour de gastronomique Brussels

My trip to Brussels was a true gastronomical experience, I have to mention the folloowing steps:

Chinese hand made noodles:





Fresh croissant in the morning (Bon jour! De croissant, silvu ple. Merci! Arevoir! Felt like in some french movie, especially with the buildings around.)

Hot chocolate, madagascar 65% with vanilla. http://www.frederic-blondeel.com/en/presentation/

Lebano-syrian restaurant, vegetarian plate with hummus falafel and mint tea, http://www.resto.be/ware/details.jsp?businessid=71580

Cheese



Belgian beer

M'semmen from morocco, with olives, feta cheese and honey.



I have to mention Sari's creations also, paprikas krumpli, garlic soup, pizza, minestrone.
I really loved the style of the city and the style of the people. I think this is the best word to describe it: style.
The atmosphere of the market at friday evening was relaxed, people eating small portion of food, cheese, olives, fish with wine and just sitting outside.
Boulder club was also a great experience! http://www.newtoprock.com/
Big thanks to my friends for hospitality!

Fishing without a rod

- Would you like to go fishing with me?
- I though you are a vegetarian?
- Yes, but I can still go fishing, can't I?
- Yes, but what is the point of it?
- Come and see!
So we went to the seashore, sat into the boat and paddled few miles towards an island. When the boat stopped, he got his fishing rod and I saw there is no hook at the end.
- There is no hook on your rod! How will you catch any fish like this?
- Ah, this is not about catching a fish! It's about something else. We are sitting here in a very nice environment, look at the sky, the sea, the islands and of course with a good company. Btw. hooks are only for beginners, real man doesn't use hooks to catch a fish! Once I cough a fish like this!
- How?
- An another boat drove really fast beside mine and the waves has thrown a fish inside, but I threw it back.
- I still don't get it. Why do we need the fishing rods?
- What would the others say if we just sit in the boat in the middle of the sea without rods?

Parrot spotting in Brussels with smoothies

We were spotting parrots in Brussels with my friend, they are really cool. The following blog has some nice pictures:
