Antwerp

Antwerp had been on my list of cities to visit ever since I read about it on WishWishWish a few years ago. Sadly the weather was less than stellar. It was actually quite horrible with super crazy winds and rain for the large part of the day. It was the weirdest thing leaving the train station and just hearing Dutch everywhere. Despite having a good friend -Sunbear- who is Dutch, I actually don't know any Dutch at all. Except for gezellig.












What I loved about Belgium was the streetart.




Also walked though the red light district where the women were in the window, scantily dressed. Weird. Also very awkward to have a lot of solo guys casually strolling through that area.
Perhaps it was the weather, but I didn't enjoy Antwerp very much. It seemed so shopping oriented with the super long shopping strip. I guess it's because I didn't come all this way to simply shop at Zara, H&M, Topshop, Forever 21 etc. Then again, I'm not much of a shopper.

Also, I hope everyone has a wonderful (and safe) New Year! To those who read my blog, thank you for commenting and being so wonderful. See you in 2015 (yikes!!!).
