the second step

my second blog in a day....as avinash bharadwaj says .. "dude u r jobless" (will always start my blog by a quote from my enlightened friends)


So here in germany in duisburg(with paulomee,pauli,paul-e) ... its a sweet little town..its supposed to be the tenth largest city in germany ..but i think its just a town.... for starters its really green specially the university area...lot of bmw´s and mercs around (as you would in any german city i guess)....its so green that there is even grass growing on the roofs (lol)


the place is quiet, green and really good to look at...for one or two days..but then it gets onto you...hey nothing actually happens here...no carnivals,no parties...u gotta get outta here... so off we go to amsterdam and brussels...awesome two days and nights(didnt sleep)....
amsterdam was pleasently beautiful..u know everybody in amsterdam talks about the red light district but there is more to amsterdam than the rld... amsterdam just looks lovely in the morning...i mean at 4.30 in the morning..after that the tourists take over the small central part of amsterdam where actually everything is...(my professor,diapankur and a couple of guys tried to warn us....dude be careful in amsterdam..and we were..and no harm befell us..)...the canals, the old houses by he canal side,it was all so beautiful....
brussels is an underrated tourist destination...there practically is nothing to actually go and see... i mean their biggest attraction is the atomium which is too scientific for many people (its actually a iron crystal) .. bt when you roam around arbit like we did...going on without an aim or just following the map, you discover the city...we were going to the royal palace(i dunno if the king(or queen,not being sexist) even lives there) and we passed a building..it was so beautiful,we actually thought it was the royal palace...(it was some museum,i think the museum of arts)...
the royal palace was also quite good,but was kinda deserted... then we went to the square..i will tell you something about a typical european city..there is the old part of the town ...which is full of pubs,bars etc. usually near the river side...then there is the city square whr there are a couple of buildings which are good to look at and there is some cathedral ... but hey brussels was xcatly like that..but the square was so beautiful...it was awesome...and there was this jazz concert there with an amazing..i mean he was outstanding..violinist...i dnt like jazz..its too trumpety for me...but hey this sounded really really good...the jazz concert ended at 11.30 and then the arbit roaming began again...we had our bus at 5.00 in the morning..so we had 5 hours to kill....we then went to a statue of a pissing boy (manneken pis)......its actually..and i am not kidding..the symbol of the spirit of brussels....i dont know..do these people allow pissing on the strrets or what..
the rest of the night was nothing much to talk about..had a couple of police cars whizzing by(scaring the hell out of me and pauli.....it was 3 in the nite)...some drunken guys..pretty much the normal stuff :)
