brussels day two = 20th birthday in brussels

woke up in belgium on my 20th birthday and had half a packet of instant noodels for brekfast to try save money for dinner. we headed out chocolate shopping = the rumors are true belgium has the worlds best chocolate streets are simply lined with glorious chocolate shops , choclate fountains in the windows, belgium is food central , frites and waffles are sold from vendors along the streets and christmas markets sell hot cinamon wine and hot beer. we were leisurly with our sightseeing in brussels , not knowing about any of the cites we were not disapointed to miss any, brussels is very small and easy to complete in a few days , we saw the grand palace and surrounding square of old buildings. we saw manekin piss = yes piss. which is the cities trademark, its a small statue of a little boy peeing, natuarlly you can buy all sorts of hilarious memorabilia to do with this , little boy corkscrews where the screw comes from.......well you can guess use ur imagination. lots of lovely sites in belgium and a little bit of snow. we headed out in teh evening for birthday celebrations = party of two, we ate a three course meal for just 12 euros drinks included. the street where we ate is packed full of sefood resturants which are famous in brussels and the waiters haggle with you to get you in. we ate , oysters, smoked salmon salad and bread for starters, then mussels and poached salmon with frites and then flan with caramalised alcahol on top, all washed down with cherry beer.yummmmmmm
after dinner we got a tad lost trying to find the pub that holds the guinness world record for most flavours of beer and absinth = their working on tequila. its overwhelming the choices, we settles on chocolate and coconut beers, although we were excited about our chocolate beer it turned out to be undrinkable and quite nasty , cocount beer is to die for and tastes like pina colada but better, we headed back to teh hostel to find there was a couple on the bunk beneth me sharing a bunk grosss and very illegal in the hostel lol yuck yuck
