This was a day that was both super fun, but also incredible annoying and stressful at the same time. Next time we do this we are going to make sure that we everything right and make no mistakes!
Hey everyone! It has indeed been a while since last time. For that I just want to appologize so much. I have been busy with school, trying to find a job and streaming pluss I haven’t felt like I had anything to make a post about either.
This weekend Nathan and I went to a convention in Brussels called Made in Asia. It was as expected a very anime/manga & cartoon type of an event. Although this one was way bigger than Comic Con we attended last year. It had 4 differnt section with a bunch of differnt stalls ranging from food & drinks, swords, art etc…
We started our day waking up at around noon. Since it was in Brussels we didn’t want to leave too late because there was a long travel time, so we got dressed and headed towards the train. When we arrived in Brussels we decided to get some cash just in case we needed it. Then we started walking towards the place I thought the convention would take place. It wasn’t until we arrived that I doubled checked and realised that we were in the wrong place and not even close. The convention was way further north and another 30-1h walk and my feet were already getting quite sore since I forgot to wear socks. After walking for almost another 15 min we finally managed to get on a bus that took us to the location we needed to be aka Brussels Expo which was right next to the tourist attraction “The atom” (A big silver statue of what an atom). We headed towards the entrance and headed in. The clock was already almost 5 pm.
When I entered I was empidietly suprised to see how much bigger this one was compared to the previous one. They even had a lovely entrence with a carpet and bunch of flowers. There were ALOT of people there. We decided to start by getting some food and sit down for a while. After around 5 min we finally found out the food location. I had butter chicken and Nathan had Banh mi with pulled pork. It was really taste and just what we needed after a fustrating and exhausting start to our day.
As soon as we were done we started to walk around. Most of the stalls were identical one way or the other. People sold art, swords, plushis, action figure and just general much. I wasn’t on the look at for anything specific, but we were hoping that we could find something from one of Nathans favourite animes “The fate” series. We looked and we looked, but we couldn’t find anything. I did however find more Nezuko merch (Yes I know I’m addicted xD). I got myself a new T-shirt and a figurine where she is tiny and runing. Nathan bought himself a “Sword art online” mouse pad and a “Nero” ( A version of Saber from Fate) key chain. We stayed until they closed since we arrived later than expected and it was more to see than I had anticipated. Thankfully our ride home went way smoother. We arrived at around 10 pm and decided just to relax and continue watching the new season of “Demon Slayer”
Despite all our hiccups and delays I did have a really fun time. I always enjoy attending these conventions to see what kind of things people are selling. Next time we will make sure to know ahead of time where we are going ^^ Stay tuned this upcoming weekend as we are going to the “Kermis” (Traveling Carnival)
