Atomium in Brussels, Belgium

Yes, I have seen it. Even though from very far away. You can guess by the blurred image.

I wonder who came up with the idea to build it. It is however a cool piece of art. And it represents technology in my eyes.

It seems that it has been build for a world exposition in 1958. Pretty cool!

And the coolest thing ever is that it is possible for groups of children to book a night in one of the globes of the Atomicum. Great!

Your Fridge is Fuller Than Your Life

Kind of love this message someone managed to write on the floor in a tiny park somewhere in Brussels.

It is kind of true nowadays in the western world that we prefer to gather things and keep them than making friends and having conversations.

While running after filling up our 'fridge' we keep forgetting to live our life happily.

I say: go travel, visit places, meet people and live your life to the fullest! It does not matter that you do that on a small budget or with no money at all.

It is just important that you do it. Focus on filling up your life, not your fridge.

From London to Brussels by Eurostar

Timetable 2010, 4 July - 10 December
For those who are interested in the latest timetable of  Eurostar's core destinations please see here for London - Brussels/Paris and return.


From London to Brussels in under two hours!
Well, that is what Eurostar promises. Let's see if it's true..:)

We are going to be in Brussels Midi Trainstation at 22:33 on the 29th July to celebrate Kristina's birthday.

We are taking the Eurostar for the first time ever. So, I think it will be quite exciting to enter the train in London and travel at high speed (hopefully at 2,000,000 km/h...:) just kidding) through a long tunnel under the little pond which separates the "island" from Europe and make British people think they are different.
Next stop will be Brussels Midi Train Station.

The Eurostar page confirmed that it will take exactly 1 hour and 59 min. Not 3 hours. Not 2 hours. It is going to be only1 hour and 59 min...
Let's see if that's true.
Back from Brussel's and I have to say that the Eurostar is quite punctual. I can't remember exactly if it stayed under the promised 2 hours but it certainly was a very nice and relaxing journey comparing to a flight. However, I wish the tickets were cheaper.
