Good shoes: for swimming, nah! WALKING

by Norali

... during those VT meetings in Belgium.This is a serious warning. Be it for small or giga meetings in Belgium, they are likely to include city walks for Belgian cities being cities to walk in.So, I warn you. If you are to meet locals, bring walking shoes (no, not the stilletos). In winter, with raincoat very probably. In summer, walking sandals, but then sun lotion on top of your feet to avoid sunburn. Aah! another reason to wear good shoes is the various cobblestoned streets + squares in Belgian cities: you'll walk on them everywhere, in every centers of Belgian cities... All Grand-Places, Grote Markts I've seen so far are cobblestoned areas, for instance.In any case, back home or to your hotel, hostel, inn, it is always relaxing to have some foot bath with foot massage... And you would be ready for a good night. With a head full of those the memories of citywalks, the laughters, the...

by dr.firas

Be vareful when you are in the train, some thives could rub you and go faster than you could ever reach when the train stops in one station for few seconds!I saw this before my eyes, when the thife run like crazy beside me with the bag od a lady, I didn't realize and understood that he was runing because he is a thife, it was too late!otherwise I'd stop him and kicked his ass!

Churches, Pay to Enter

by dr.firas

It was the first time for me in Brussles to see such a thing, I'm not saying it is bad, but most of the churches and beautiful Cathedrals are free for enterance in France, in Brussles almost all of them are payable!

Metro station called Alma!

by dr.firas

Well when I went to visit the hospital where I was suppose to be born: Clinique St.Luc Maternite,I followed the Metro station: Alma, where the clinique is placed!be really careful to be lost to get in the Metro there, it is not easy at all, the zone is underconstruction, and you have to make a big circle before getting to the otherside, and you can be easily lost!best way to avoid is to ask people there!

Prices

by dr.firas

Prices of the food in the restaurants inside the railstation buildings are some times good, but most of the times really exaggerated, so please take knowledge if you are really counting your money and don't want to lose it for the same product in other place but really cheaper!

Don't get locked in the attic......

by tompt

Be aware that if you are forced to sleep in the attic it can be dangerous........This picture shows there is no way to escape, since the hatch won't open because of the rainpipe in front of it.And if the hatch won't open, it will be pretty dark in there too ;-)

Red Flag

by Leipzig

Wandering in the Eifel or Hohes Venn you will come accross colored flags. They indicate the danger of the region. Red means "high danger", don't leave beaten paths and do not enter woods and swampy land unless you have a tour guide. They are liften after heavy rain (floding) or after a drought (fire risk).
