I have discovered an untapped market in Brussels - Travel Mugs!
I swear, everytime I bring mine out with me, I get AT LEAST one person who asks me where I got it, because it is "such a good idea!".
Good thing I brought mine, and didn't decide it was something I could just "buy over here".

Also, since we are on a semi-environmental topic, I feel I should make note of the AMAZING residential 'waste' program they have here in Brussels. Here it is: NOTHING is waste!
We get three bags; a yellow one for paper and cardboard, a blue one for plastic and metals, and a white one for organics. So nothing really gets "thrown out", everything fits into one of the bags, and so all is recycled!

I love Brussels.

Went last night to the Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles in the old Maison du Roi in La Grande Place. Amazing. They had an entire section on urban planning and the growth of Brussels from the 15th to the 20th century. Was quite amazing to see pictures of the growth of the city, and the different urban planning techniques (or lack of..)  used as more and more people came to Brussels.
As wonderful as it was to learn a bit about the history of the city of Brussels, my favourite part of the museum was the collection of Mannequin Pis' outfits! He has a traditional outfit from almost every country accross the globe, an astronaut uniform, various police/army/navy uniforms, and just about every other thing you could imagine. But one in particular caught my eye. Here Canada:

Miss everyone!

A bientot.
