This Saturday I and Nathan went to Winter Wonders in Brussels. It’s basically a giant Christmas market that stretches around different locations within Brussels centrum. It was great fun and I can’t wait to tell you guys all about it.
Our plan was to arrive in Brussels by 3 pm, but we ended up sleeping way longer than expected. The bus was also super late which meant that we had to take the next train and everything, so we didn’t arrive until 5 pm. It was already dark so all the lights looked amazing though.
We started by walking to the “grand palace” where they had put up a giant tree with light and people to place their own ornaments. We got our event bracelets which made sure that we were allowed to buy stuff from the stands. We walked down and everything looks so beautiful. All the light and all the people really gave the perfect holiday vibes. There were tons of stands that sold everything from food, clothing, jewellery & a bunch of other things.
We walked around for around 2 hours before we decided to head home. Since it takes us almost the same amount of time to travel there. On the way home, we met some interesting people. First was the train conductors who made a joke about confiscating the coconut balls that we bought from the market. The second was a drunk guy on the bus who asked the driver if he could stop and wait for him because he had to take a leak. Surprisingly the guy complied xD.
All in all, it was a rad weekend and we are getting closer to Christmas. It’s less than a week left until Nathan and I are heading to Norway to meet my parents. We are staying there for a week so I’ll keep you guys updated. It will be the first time my parents meet Nathan which I’m kind of nervous about…but we will see how it goes. I also have my oral exam that same day so it’s going to be a bunch of nerves xD.
