Hi Bruno, no problem.
We were only there a very short time so didn't manage to see everything we wanted, but I definitely want to go back. Good luck with your Brussels photography!
Best wishes

Hi,

I made the tour in the other sense last month, Brussels to Saint Pancras by foot in a day; really great. this reciprocity makes me belive we should go back. I'm a Brussels fan, so for who wants to know that city better, I suggest you visit www.brusselseyes.com (it's in french but you should be interested), it shows pictures of a Brussels less known.
I realise I'm doing a bit a kind of advertising, so if I offend you , please do appologise me.

Best regards

I love traveling alone mainly because, in Asian families, daughters are generally kept under lock and key. My parents, bless them, would much rather have me cooped up at home, wrapped in cotton wool with a bubble-wrap insulation to boot. Talk about being overprotective! It's my version of breaking free and spreading my wings. I love the freedom being traveling alone gives me. Apart from being the obvious cultural learning experience, it inadvertently becomes a journey of self-discovery--whether I want to or not--because I learn more about what my limits are, what I can and can't do, when I travel alone, I mean.

I'd recommend it to anyone, any female!

I graduated from college at 20 and three months later I took off with my bright red backpack. My six-month journey to Israel and Europe ended up becoming an 18-year sojourn in Israel. Definitely a worthwhile excursion.

I hear women speak of never having gone to a movie alone. It's so upsetting; what are the afraid of? It's not just the stories of lecherous men that makes women anxious, but the fear that they will be perceived as lonely and alone. And even if they are, isn't it better to get out than to stay in wishing you could go out?
