Walking is good. I have always been a fond of it. Normally I am too restless not to walk fast. Although in tough competition with my brother, I am rarely passed by another pedestrian. Walking around in an urban environment among thousand fellow walkers who are completely anonymous to you is a joy. All together, all focusing on their own business, all with their destinations. Some occasions are nevertheless good for slowly strolling around. Getting lost and finding new paths. This is what I did in Brussels the other day. With my camera. The glimpse from my lonely walk shown below hopefully illustrates that the capital of Belgium (currently without Prime Minister) is more than just a temple for eurocrats. The town is actually rather vivid and full of Belgians.
National pride: French fries and beer in a cozy environment.
No need for smart phones in a high-tech country. Baggy pants are surely
coming back this spring, although all not have realized it yet.
Classic and classy: dress loosely, get your baguette at Le Coin Bleu and be a real Saint Gilles bobo.
Snails? Possible to combine with frites and mayonnaise. Not only Swedes have adopted the moustache trend.
