Belgium & Netherlands (24 Oct 06 - 30 Oct 06) Finally can go travel again.. Went to Brussels, Brugge in Belgium and Amsterdam, Utrecht in Netherlands with Uwei and Diana. Enjoy this trip very much.. think its due to the company and the nice scenery. We had lots of jokes and took alot of photos. Arrive in Brussels on the 24 Oct and stay there for 3 nights, after which we meet up with friends doing exchange in Utrecht and went over to stay at their place for the next 3 nights. Let me talk about Belgium first.. Belgium.. Famous for its chocolate, toys and comic! (Do you know that TinTin is from Belgium?) Also there is alot of chocolate shop in Belgium! Bought some chocolate there.. will bring it back to Singapore! Amsterdam ( Netherlands).. Well.. Its famous for the red light district, space cake, harsh, marijuana... Tried the space cake and joint there.. Don't really feel the effect. Oh ya.. how can you not go see windmills in Netherlands. Went to some country side to see the wind mills. Also went to the Sex Museum in Amsterdam.. Heres the pictures.. Brugge:
