Once again it's raining in Ams... -_-lll but luckily i'm leaving that city... took the bus to Brussels which lasted like around 5 hours. so freaking tired and was sleeping like a pig on the bus... but still not enough sleep. i need like 24 hours straight for one month to get rid of the eye rings. (and bags)
it's the first time i went traveling without settling where to sleep at night~ and with my heavy bag (cos of the laptop) and tiredness + scared of the dark alone, i was frantically looking for a hostel once i reached Brussels.
At the first hostel i went, i met this girl, Korean again, named Kim. the first line she spoke to me was:"Are you Korean??" kinda flattered you know... haha!! Korean thinking that i'm Korean looking... hiek hiek~
(Back to the topic) She is traveling alone too!! after talking for a while, we decided to travel in Brussels for the day together!! So cool to have a new found traveling partner, though i duno her well, it'll be fun~ =)
Brussels was a cute place. and it was even cuter with her!! Mayb it's a Korean and Japanese thing but they get excited and animated over the slightest thing... Walked around and took pictures with all the comic drawings we came across... Glad i had a partner for the day~
Went into this particular shop and in the end came out with a free gift. totally FREE. ahaha!! thanks to the nice vendor who doesn't seem to want to make profit... hiek! oh ya and i nearly got robbed! was happily walking with camera strapped around my hand and me holding the camera pouch kinda loose.. i deserved being robbed but the stupid robbing was like grabbing it so softly so he didn't get the camera.
Lucky me.
Then at night.. we went to this popular tourist area for dinner.. according to my respectful Lonely Planet, it said "dine elsewhere", but that place seems innocent and decent and yummy enough for me to abandon my LP for a while to try...
and i regretted. BIG TIME.
Mussels and fries are like the specialties in Brussels.. and lobsters too.. but obviously the latter is too expensive for me to even think about... so in the end we chose this restaurant that has 10eur for 3 course meal~ sounds like a deal right....
the food was not bad.. not fantastic but decent and worth the price.. with a glass of (diluted) champagne and nice appetiser... and we met this 2 people from HongKong studying in the UK... and the second line they spoke to me was:"Are you from Singapore?"
i was like... "HOW YOU KNOW?!?!?!" he told me it's my accent... the Singlish accent. sigh. how to perfect my England like that?!?!
so far it's all good... except the end. the freaking bad services all along was damn irritating but we heck care them.. BUT when it came to the bill, mine and Kim's were 20 eur together... so she used her 100eur bill and got back 75 eur... with the waiter saying "service charge.. thank you very much ah thank you~" when he took the remaining 5 eur.
like WAD THE F**K is that?!? is that even legal?! it's so freaking wrong la! self declared service charge?!? and he took away the receipt even... scared we go police isit? that guy is a total FREAK.
he totally pissed me off!! and before that he was mumbling some wadever shit language he was talking and was being damn sick old man. go to hell GRANDPA.
Walked to the Grand Place and was told the lights of the building would change once an hour.. all 4 of us stood there like idiots until 11.10pm and nothing happened. kena cheated only~ -_-
Summary of the day: Perfecto except for the freak at the dinner. and seriously, he should GTH.
