brussels day one = chocolate chocolate chocolate

Paris nord train station nearly killed us at 5am it was so cold i have never experienced anything like it i thought my nose would turn black and fall off at any second , frostbite was imminent, i need earmuffs for sure screw looking stupid.
after two hours on the train we arrived in Brussels and found our first impression to be clean and organised unlike Rome and Paris , escalators and lifts for luggage and friendly personal willing to speak English and not resenting you for not speaking french, joy.
caught a tram to our hostel , kind men and women helped us with out suitcases and directions , Paris shoved us outa France and Brussels has welcomed us with open arms, due to booking late we are staying in a more expensive hostel called 2 go 4 which i recommend, free Internet and big screen surround sound TV , i havent seen let alone watched a TV in 5 months wow. we were in a 14 person room with allot of snorers first night but managed to sleep like a baby and woke up to unlimited hot drinks and a kitchen = best hostel yet. we explored Belgium a bit our first night Brussels is quite small in the centre easy walking distance to everything , we got chocolate waffles and frites, their are beautiful Christmas decorations everywhere i loooooooovvveee Brussels.
