there's stuff to do in Brussels too!

So I realized that whoever reads this blog (ahem Daniela) might accidentally think that I spent no time in Brussels at all...so in honor of my host city, this blog entry is dedicated to all the fabulous things you can do in Brussels!
-Mannekin Pis (Gare Centrale metro stop):for a typical Brussels landmark, everyone must make a stop at Mannekin Pis. As an added bonus, the waffle shop next to Mannekin Pis is the BEST in all of Brussels!
-Grand Place (Gare Centrale):see the old guilds, the town hall and the center of Brussels!
-Atomium (Heizel)built 1958 for the Universal Exhibition this great metal structure is amazing to behold!
-Royal Palace(Parc): self explanatory. The best part is being in Brussels in September when its open to the public
-Le Sablon et Petit Sablon (either Parc or Porte du Namur): monument to two great Protestant leaders in Belgium as well as very close to the artsy area of Brussels
-EU Commission and Council buildings (Schuman) for the full Brussels and EU experience, take a look at Berlaymont and Justis Lipsius buildings right off the Schuman metro
-Le Cinquantaime (Schuman) build in commemoration of the 50 anniversity of Belgian independence during the reign of Leopold II, the Wars of Europe museum is free of charge and allows for visitors to climb to the top of the Cinquantaime for a view of Brussels
-EU Parliament (Maelbeek): in front of the Parliament is Place Lux, where you can enjoy a beer while talking to members of parliament and their staff.
-Celtica and Delirium (De Broukere) two great places to get a drink after a long of touristing. Celtica offers a great Irish pub feel with dance floor upstairs if you wanna keep going at happy hour prices until midnight and Delirium is a one of a kind place, with over 2000 types of beer available for you to sample!
-and much much more!!!!! Brussels offers many opportunities to see and do many incredible things...so go and have fun!
