Summer Grand Tour 夏之壮游 (29 May - 25 June 2008) - Benelux + Germany + Scandinavia

Benelux Part 2: Belgium

4th June 2008, I took express train from Amsterdam to the capital of Belgium, Brussels. Before check-in to Brussels Youth Hostel, I went to a small town where the Royal Museum of Central Africa located. After staying 2 days at Bruseels, I proceed to Bruges before continue my journey to Luxembourg.

Square at EU Center


When I visiting the EU center, found out that a group of fishermen from Southern Europe countries, likes Italy, Spain & Southern France gathered at the square to protest again EU Oil Subsidary policies. They just stood quitely at the square, without any violent action. Thus, I still can walk around & talk photos..... 

They were protesting against the oil subsidy issues
