We did actually go in, but not to eat. I remember it had a huge car-park with hardly any cars there only some gypsy caravans.<br /><br />It really is a great structure. We had the world Expo here in 1988 and they built a tower called the sky needle. After the Expo, a hairdresser bought it and it is now standing at his head office.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581375024537168350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-71455045888381773702009-03-11T16:56:00.000+01:002009-03-11T16:56:00.000+01:00this blogs okthis blogs okAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-41623535822758279302008-12-12T16:43:00.000+01:002008-12-12T16:43:00.000+01:00Gattina: I was there visiting this awesome shiny s...Gattina: I was there visiting this <BR/>awesome shiny structure!

Astoundingly, I've been in Brussels seventy two (72) times, but was never able to catch such beautiful photos, so my posts on the city don’t pay it the deserved justice. It's true that most visits were due for attending meetings, but anyhow...<BR/>After December 2002, when I became more sedentary, my first chance to go abroad as a tourist was in January 2003, and the destination was Brussels. I profited the opportunity, but my friends told me: «you must be sick; going back to Brussels once again...». Amazingly (or not), I found it much more interesting! All depends on the eyes you're using to see it...<BR/>All the best<BR/>GilGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775262251208390861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29328508.post-30053526099113744412007-02-24T17:52:00.000+01:002007-02-24T17:52:00.000+01:00Wow!
