It was already afternoon when I took a swim in the museum. Yunluo and Koala unfortunately skipped the meal time. After following the crowd out of the art gallery, they passed by a monument and a large square. Many squares in Europe had a green plant design, and the tops of many tall trees were trimmed into squares one by one.

After being arranged neatly, from top to bottom, there is a very neat green passage. It is worth mentioning that in Belgium and France, people with different costumes similar to Middle Eastern descent, holding a piece of paper and a pen, probably charity activities to find a home for homeless people.

Or you are asked to sign a certain political activity, but the actual purpose is to ask you to pay for donations, and no one knows whose pockets are finally lost. Especially when tourists gather, you can bypass people when you see similar people, and it is best not to pay attention to them.

After going around in circles, I walked to the main square area step by step. Generally speaking, European burgers are always affordable for lunch, full, and generally do not have unexpected tastes. After the nearby burgers were eaten up, they fed the pigeons with the remaining meat scraps and bread.

The pigeons here are as bold as Britain and are not afraid of people at all, but they never see seagulls and wild ducks again. Looking at the passers-by in different clothes passing by, they found that the people on the streets of Brussels dressed in a variety of styles. Then they thought again, maybe they were like Yunluo, in such an area where tourists gathered.

Maybe Yunluo saw more tourists, so it is not surprising that everyone dressed differently. It is worth mentioning that for Chinese people, when it comes to traveling, whether it is hiking or traveling, or traveling, everyone thinks of windbreakers. Almost all of them are the standard outfits for Chinese people to travel.

It is understandable that windbreakers are more convenient, but windbreakers are not standard. Yunluo saw travelers on the street. Some were wearing numb, while others were casual, and most of them were very unique.

At this moment, the cheerful accordion sound came to my left, which was extremely nice. When I turned around, I saw that there were two middle-aged men who were performing in a style. A little boy, who was probably only 5 years old, was already skillfully holding an African drum, sitting on the stone pier very vigorously, slapping the rhythm for them, and the rhythm was extremely stable, and sometimes there were some minor changes.

The tender little face was dissatisfied. Yun Luo recorded a video on a whim. Many tourists stopped to watch. One of the mothers was watching the performance with a little boy about 4 years old. The boy shook his head, shook his head, and kept twisting his pp. It was very cute, but who knew that the movement was too big and he fell into a big horse party.

Seeing this scene, the mother did not rush over and picked up her doll like the kind mothers who felt sorry for the baby, and said, "Nannan, did you hurt? Rush?" Instead, regardless of the matter, the little boy got up by himself, rubbed his hands, and continued to twist with the music there.

Gradually, Yunluo formed a concept deep in his heart: whether it is educating children, career, or opportunities, more often, we pay too much attention to taking care of them, educating, deciding, and thinking about them too much, and letting children and careers and opportunities grow naturally.

Instead, giving enough freedom and space is easier for yourself, while for the object that needs to grow, less interference and planning may lead to a more distinctive appearance.

The most popular one recently will be in a life. Although Yunluo is not very cold, the song in it, which was sung very early, is right. The future is never known. It is better to let it go. Similarly, if we suddenly reach a dead end, instead of struggling and restless, it is better to let it go, and there will always be another situation afterwards.

The next day was the day when Koala made an appointment with Ms. Meisi. After checking the route according to the map, she was excited and unable to calm down. This was the only time Koala contacted Ms. Meisi in seven years. Maybe she didn't expect that she would meet when she held an exhibition in China that year. She would really come to Belgium to visit her one day.

Ms. Meisi's art gallery is located in the wealthy area in the north of Brussels. When she took the Brussels bus for the first time, Yunluo and Koala got on the bus and bought tickets, they repeatedly told the driver with long braids, please call Yunluo to get off the bus when they arrived at the station. He nodded knowingly and signaled Yunluo to sit in the seat behind him.

The buses are very long, and it seems that the bus drivers in Brussels are all slow, and there are many stations along the road. Maybe there will be stops between half a kilometer and a kilometer, and they will stagger for more than half an hour. When passing an intersection, the clouds fell in a very far view and saw a very magnificent arch and exquisite sculptures on the arch.

But Yun Luo didn't see this attraction, so he came to take a look in the afternoon. Finally, he arrived at the station. The area was a quiet residential area. The driver signaled Yun Luo to get off the car, and Yun Luo smiled and expressed his gratitude. Following the map, Yun Luo and Koala walked back and turned a corner, and saw a very quiet path.

On one side is a garden covered with branches, and on the other side are houses with uniform heights and scattered houses, all of which are unique small buildings. They go all the way to check the door numbers. The brand of a local design firm is quite conspicuous. When they arrived at the Ms. Meisi building, Yun Luo was surprised to find that the appearance of Meisi's gallery did not look eye-catching.

There was not even any eye-catching sign, but a very small steel brand was nailed at the door. The garden in front of the door was planted with small white flowers. There was a faint fragrance when walking into the walk. After taking a deep breath, Yunluo rang Meisi's doorbell.

Yunluo obviously arrived too early. Ms. Meisi was still busy with the conference call upstairs. Her new assistant came out to greet Yunluo and Koala. She was a Ukrainian lady. Although she was old, she smiled very sweetly and treated people very politely. Although Yunluo was just a trivial guest.

She still helped Yunluo pour water up and down, helped Yunluo get magazines, and chatted with Koala with Yunluo. Meisi's personal assistant was also replaced by a French girl, who was very kind. The overall gallery continued Meisi's favorite solemn black, the antique and dark sofas, coffee tables, and desks on the first floor.

In the exhibition hall in the distance, Yunluo saw the priceless bronze tripod, as well as other Buddhist statues that Yunluo had never seen before, etc. Looking through the gallery albums sent by the new assistant, Meisi's business works are more, and the above descriptions of the artworks are more accurate and detailed, and the artistic appreciation value is higher.

After a while, Koala saw Melanie coming downstairs, she was still as tall and beautiful as she was a few years ago. She went to repair the gallery network, chatted with her for a few rough words, handed her a small gift, and left in a hurry, but she was still very happy. She still remembered the little bits of the exhibition in China that year.

Within 2 minutes, Ms. Meisi appeared in front of Koala. Seven years ago, Koala had a harsh and high-demand memory of her, but when Koala saw her again, she felt like a relative.

What surprised Yunluo was that Ms. Meisi's assistant did not drive, and she did not have an exclusive driver, but drove a double-door Ford to take Yunluo and her assistant to lunch.

Meiliu took us to a small local restaurant, which was not luxurious, but most people in this community would go there to eat. When we were having dinner with Ms. Meiliu, we also met close friends from the same community. Both parties greeted each other and hugged each other. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Like the French, Belgians like to have a glass of low-degree wine when dining. That day, Ms. Meisi ordered a glass of rosé wine for us, which was very delicious with a unique Belgian meal.

Yunluo's travel is like a piece of scattered puzzle, adding different colors, goals, aesthetics, directions and touches to Yunluo's life, and then becomes a part of Yunluo's own. This puzzle found in Belgium is undoubtedly the most beautiful.

Because there was a meeting to attend in the afternoon, after the lunch with Ms. Meisi, Meisi drove Yunluo Koala to the Saburon area, which is a neighborhood full of petty bourgeois style in Belgium. If you want to compare it, it would be like the left bank of Paris. On the way, she kept introducing various buildings to Yunluo.

What surprised Yunluo was that the area where she lived and the buildings that were a little further to the city were mostly old houses over a hundred years old, many of which were even more than 200 years old, but they were still simple and elegant, very sturdy and beautiful, when passing by the road close to the city.

Miss Meisi asked her assistant to buy a Pas private chocolate that is particularly popular among locals in Belgium. This brand is only available in Brussels and has not expanded to other markets. Later, this large box of chocolate accompanied by Yunluo went through France, bringing sweetness to Yunluo, and Yunluo would hold a piece in his mouth every day.

In Sabulong, Meisi also introduced Yunluo to the jewelry store she had been patronizing. The owner was a very kind lady. She once went to China with her husband. At that time, her husband was also the Belgian ambassador to China. The jewelry store she opened was also very distinctive. Its jewelry is full of materials, and all the gems are amazing, and in order to highlight the clarity of the gems.

Instead of making many complicated decorations around the gems, the natural shiny of the gems was restored. The price was not as high as expected. It was just that Yun Luo left Belgium the next day, and he did not make up his mind to buy the sapphire that Koala likes very much.

It was not until Yunluo arrived in France that he looked around at the famous jewelry store around the famous Vanden Square and realized that Belgian jewelry is indeed of high quality and affordable price. Jewelry stores in France rarely make enough gold, and generally do 18k platinum.

Platinum and platinum are not the same concept. Platinum is gold and white metal, which reflects a white luster after adding white metal. Therefore, platinum does not have the concept of 24k. Platinum, like gold, is another single substance. The price of platinum jewelry is very expensive, and generally jewelry is not calculated based on gram weight, but according to style.

For example, if Yunluo wants to set a ring, the price of this ring will not fluctuate due to the size of the ring, but will be one price per model. Yunluo did not stay in the Sabulong area for long, but was thinking about going to the intersection where the bus passed by to look at the magnificent arch.

But who knew that it was this decision that Yunluo and Koala began a 3-hour arduous journey. The Sabron area is full of irregular geometric blocks, and the streets are complicated and difficult to identify on the map. Near a slightly larger square, Yunluo saw another church that was relatively large but unknown.

Although there are no complicated carvings, the design of the real white and ultramarine stone ceiling is impressive. Yun Luo used this as the basis to slowly measure the itinerary of Brussels city.

Later it was proved that Yunluo's sense of direction seemed not particularly effective in Belgium and Paris. Yunluo did take the wrong path, but fortunately, Yunluo took the wrong path and really entered the living area of ​​local people in Brussels. There were children playing on the roadside after elementary and middle schools. The young people sprayed graffiti in the park in the street garden.

There are also young people resting in front of the community chapel, emitting idle anger everywhere, and the little sunshine in the afternoon makes Yun Luo, the lost person, less anxious.

After turning a few turns, she walked on the main road. Yunluo held the map of Brussels and stopped a lady to ask for directions with a smile. The lady looked at the picture and said that our current location was outside the map, but she still pointed out like Yunluo that she could walk along this continent and reach the location on the map.

After Yunluo passed, she walked along the way. The weather was still cold in the place without sunshine, but the sun was shining brightly that day. The scorching sun made Yunluo no longer wear a coat. She found a corner where no one took off her coat and walked along. In less than half an hour, the little princess Koala was sweating carefully.

I guess it must be very strange to see the old Belgian lady on the way that day. Why did this girl walk on the road with a sweat on her face against Guan Gong? Near the building at the Brussels long-distance bus station? Yunluo saw a sign with wifi hanging in the cafe, so she simply sat in. Take a break and try Belgium’s particularly famous beer.

It is said that Belgium and Germany are different. Their beer tastes more than 200 kinds, one of which is a fruity beer called cherry beer, especially liked by girls. Yunluo asked the bar staff for a glass of cherry beer. The waiter was a very friendly uncle. He said there were two types of cherry beer, one was bottled and the other was Sanda. Sanda was quite strong, and he gave Yunluo a special taste.

Of course, Yunluo chose which one was strong. The uncle smiled. He took the wine glass and colded it with ice water. Then he put it in his hand and felt refreshed. He sat down and tasted it slowly. The wine was rich in flavor, refreshing and delicious, and it was much stronger than domestic beer.

Moreover, the cup seemed round but actually had a large capacity. Yun Luo didn't finish a cup, but the sweet taste and the slight effect of alcohol in such a hot afternoon made the burgundy elf unforgettable. Now Yun Luo couldn't stop sitting in front of the computer and swallowing his saliva. Next time he went back, he must taste such beer again.

At the end of the road is the Brussels Cathedral. Although the scale of the church is not as large as that of Westminster, it is white all over, with a unified architectural style and beautiful. Its scale is not smaller than that of Notre Dame, and the overall design beauty is definitely higher than that of Notre Dame. Perhaps the reputation of Notre Dame is still inseparable from Hugo's bell tower monster.

She is holy and beautiful, solemn and exquisite. On the left side of the church is a bronze statue of an archbishop wearing a robe. Her face is sharp, her high nose and deep eyes are looking into the distance. She climbs up the steps and goes to the main entrance of the church. The background of the blue sky and white clouds is so beautiful that it makes people confused.

The church is open to the public for free. Yunluo donated 2 euros to light a candle, which also contributed to the protection of such a beautiful building.

The interior of the church is magnificent and towering. The central hall is a hall mainly in white tones. On each giant pillar is a great god (Yun Luo is not a Christian, so I don’t know who it is, please forgive me). Each of them step on a giant golden shield, holding various weapons, accurate face carvings, and clothes textures.

Just like the air flows, they keep lifting up their light clothes. Unlike other churches, there are not many complicated decorations or angel shapes around the statue, but instead highlight the overall beauty of the statue. In addition, the whole body is white and the shape is huge, just like sitting in heaven now, listening to the sound from there.

In addition to the hall, the entire corridor still maintains a traditional dark design, and the lights are dim, which sets off the sacred feeling of the middle hall. To reach that arch, you must first pass through the famous EU area. The EU buildings and other buildings stand on both sides of the road, with a simple and simple style, and there is no appearance of being heavily guarded around.

Instead, it is more like a creative industrial park. For the arch, it is located at the end of the road. Innocence Yunluo thought that it was very close to the mountain and was definitely a distance for a dead horse. He originally thought that as long as he walked in the direction, he could reach it in about 15 minutes, but Yunluo walked in for 30 minutes and had not seen the specific appearance in front of the arch.

On the huge lawn, people were all happy, either sitting on the ground or sitting on benches thinking, and groups of young people simply sat in the flower bed and started a picnic. An Asian girl like a koala, Yunluo guessed that she should also be from China. She was wearing black clothes, just lying on the grass, grabbing a SLR, and repeatedly focusing on the arch.

Unexpectedly, the best ice cream that Yunluo had eaten along the way was actually a mobile dessert car in front of the arch. Yunluo bought a mango-flavored cone with the smallest size. The shopkeeper was not particularly enthusiastic or introduced his products, but the ice cream was extremely sweet and fragrant when he got his hands.

Especially the waffles below exuded a crispy smell just taken out of the oven, which was so delicious that Yunluo couldn't bear to share the last point with his pigeon companions.

I have to mention here that along the way, some of the foreign tourists I met were older, some of them held card machines, and the girls only took a small micro-single without adding a telephoto lens. Only some elderly people would carry very heavy SLRs on their backs.
