The title of "European Capital" is counterproductive!? - 🇧🇪Brussels

This time I and a few Japanese friends, taking advantage of the beginning of the semester break to go on a European trip. And Brussels, Belgium, became one of my destinations, but when I completed this journey, I found that it was not as good as I expected... It's not that Brussels is a bad place, I can only say that it depends on luck 🥹😂 The first day of the Brussels trip was already a bit of a show. The reason why we will take the Ryanair FR4778 was said to arrive in Brussels around 22:55, so we also allow time to book a taxi to take us back to the city center, 00:30 for the departure time must be no problem. Then the airline delayed until 01:28 to Brussels😢 I book taxi's €70 completely evaporated, waiting for a local taxi do not know if I can wait until there is a willing to pick me up but he wants to charge each person €50😅😅 When I land fish, until a driver willing to charge €35 per person The next day, we are in a state of near exhaustion bombing to wander around Brussels attractions, of which Brussels Grand-Place (Grand-Place) is absolutely indispensable, the square is surrounded by European-style retro churches and ancient buildings in all directions, plus preparing to welcome Christmas, a Christmas tree will definitely be placed in the middle. During this time we finally tried the most traditional Belgian, in Hong Kong can try Waffle cake & French Fries (really do not think that the fries were found in France😂 the real answer is Belgium). I don't eat dessert often, so I can only say that the Waffle is good, not too sweet but crispy enough, not like the texture of the usual dry bread. The Fries is really worth a try, most fries shops are very fond of paper wrapped into a cone, in the hole stuffed a lot of fries and squeezed a lot of dip sauce, crispy to unparalleled, sauce I chose Bravo sauce, tomato crushed and add some spicy sauce and garlic Halfway through we went to the Royal Palace of Brussels (Royal Palace of Brussels)🛕 Although not public visit but we have been taking pictures outside the entrance, because the entire exterior design of the Royal Palace is too sacred and gorgeous. Triumphal Arch, which has the same type of style, presents a noble and majestic temperament. Located in the Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels, the semicircular arch, a little like the other half of the Colosseum, was built in 1905, filled with a pile of bronze statues to prove the influence of Catholicism on local culture✝️ After talking about the advantages ✅ need to talk about the disadvantages ❎ Although people say "the most important thing to travel is to follow the local customs", but I think Brussels' tourism industry still has room for improvement. First, the airport I landed at is Brussels South Charleroi Airport, with the Hong Kong National Airport a big difference is that there is no public transportation or shuttle bus that can operate 24 hours a day, willing to come to the airport late at night to pick up passengers taxi drivers appear not often enough, at least to spend about half an hour to wait for a, and then intends to be tourists as water fish, nearby and no security personnel and equipment can never be solved within a day People chase me and ask me for money, everyone I'm just a student, don't think I'm just targeting asian people 🥹 My economic situation is almost the same as yours😂 The above is the feeling after I went to Brussels, Western European countries do not lose, want to go to the attractions and activities are completed as I planned, but I hope to have the opportunity to come to Belgium again in the future, do not hope to have the above unfortunate experience😂🤞🏻Peace #brussels #belgium #brussels #brusselsgrandplatz #fiftiethanniversarypark #brusselschocolatemuseum #belgium
