| Page Views: 9,139 Last Visit to Brussels: February, 2005 | Say Brussels?? K! let's go to find The Soul by irisbe - last update: Apr 7, 2005 |
Brussels... been there several times and sure need to go back a few more times. I have only explored a very few musea and quite some city area's. I still haven't found the heart (or the soul) of this place so I keep on searching!
But I hope that the more I go there, the more I will start to appreciate the city and the more nice places I can discover. I don't think I will betray my lovely Antwerp when I do this :) That will always be my city number 1. But fair is fair and Brussels needs a chance to let it show itself to me, with its beauty and its uggly spots.
Corruption (how else can I call it?) of concrete maffia; politics and business maffia, have destroyed & damaged the city in such a severe way that it feels like it lost its heart. That is what I am trying to find back, the little scattered pieces of nice places that have escaped this brutal mutulation and can tell me what the city used to be.
I am slowly trying to update this page but a lot is still in the waiting queue.
