My first VT-meeting location

This postcard is being sold at the Atomium. The right part is a famous NASA picture I once used on my homepage.

Brussels

I had my very first VT meeting in this town.

There are more things that tie me to Brussels, but I do not frequently visit this city. Maybe a kind of love/hate relationship.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Food, food, food ... Did I mention food?
  • Cons:Parking (and sometimes traffic)
  • In a nutshell:Wonderful
  • Last visit to Brussels: Sep 2010

    Op zoek naar Ieper kwam ik hier. Heeft onrechtstreeks ook wel iets met de oorlog. Een wondermooi zicht over Brussel heb je vanop het dak van dit museum. Groetjes
