My 3 Days in Belgium!
Posted by | Posted in Fun | Posted on 24-10-2008
Hello People,
As a few of you may know, I’ve been to Belgium this week. To be a bit more precise, i’ve been to “Antwerpen”. I staid there in a Hotel called “Ramada Plaza” which is Very nice. so here will be a kind of Traveling report. 
The Driving to it.
We didn’t want to go with the train because that’s pretty Buzy in the what we call in dutch “Spits”. So we went with the Car. After a few times in the trafic jam and 3 á 4 hours of driving on a very long road we were in Antwerpen. We were driving through a block with only the same houses and only trams moving and cars. We read the instructions from the hotel and after a few times driving back we found the hotel.
The hotel.
The Hotel looked Awesome. It was like a big building from only Glass. Like those big New York buildings. where you don’t see any Stone from the outside. We went in and we saw a really Modern and Business type of lounge. There was also a Bar, Sauna, Fitness, Restaurant and some more i don’t remember. We checked in and went to our rooms with 1 of the 3 elevators. It was on the 6th floor though. So we went in and saw a nice good looking room with a Flatscreen HD Tv offcourse :). So you can gues the first thing we were going to look was the TV. we could watch some Belgium channels and some French, italian, german and offcourse some of our own Dutch ones. So after relaxing a bit we went to the Shopping center in Antwerpen.
The First thing about that: IT’s Expensive 
There are alot of Brand shops from brands like Nike, Armani, Puma, etc.. i just went to some stores i didn’t knew or to some with nice clothes. After a while i found a nice jack and bought it. So now i hope i will still like it next week. else I can just choose a different one.
Belgium Things.
Well After beeing there I still thought Belgium is Weird. In the netherlands they always make jokes about Belgian people and some think belgian people are stupid (The belgiums do the same with us :D) But now i really saw some of those things. Like at first in The Netherlands we have traffic rules that the Traffic lights at a crossing go on green when you can savely walk to the other side. we do that with giving the walking people the time to walk by giving them green light and the cars who have to go to the side of where people are walking get Red light. But in Belgium they do all traffic lights at the same time. So when the people who walk have green, the cars have green too. So that means you still have to look when there comes a Car. So it’s more save to walk when the light is Red. that’s major weird thing i found out.
Well I did much more things there but i’m not going to tell that.
