• Traveling is strange because if anyone goes there without consciousness, nothing remains in mind. I visited Brussels many times, however I remember little thing.  This time, to make my homepage I tried to take pictures by a digital camera, then I reminded Brussels again and I found Brussels is splendid.

• Victor Hugo admired as the most gorgeous Medieval Market Square in the world.　Grand-Place of 110mx70m. Lighted-up silhouette seems to be even illusory.  Especially supreme is beautifully lighted-up, towering Bell Tower of the Town Hall and Cinderella colored King's House.  There usually is a flower market in the morning, a bird market on Sundays, and plenty of opportunity to sample the famous Belgian beers in the cafes. Once a year, the Square is covered by a flower carpet.

• Guild Houses brought prosperity in 15th century Belgium and its wall was decorated by luxurious sculpture.
  It is said that touching the right hand of "Gold Statue Selukraes" makes happiness, and only that part became black. And of course, I touched it.

• Shops of Belgium special Chocolate or hand-made lace are in Grand-Place.
  

• I would like to visit repeatedly. My five-star, Grand-Place.
