weird words

Is this collection of short posts terribly annoying? Just say, no, not at all.

Brussels - like so many European cities - mixes the traditional with the modern a lot. The 1960s and 1970s city planning didn't do any favours to any European city. It was all about accomodating automobile traffic and erecting blocks of concrete. Still, Brussels has got lots of charming streets and would have offered pretty views across its several hills if the sky hadn't been quite as grey. Here's some beauty I found in unexpected places and angles:

The drive to Brussels (it's only two hours) was smooth until I chose the wrong lane on the motorway, ended up in a traffic jam and did some damage to my front bumper by gently hitting the car in front of me. Luckily, they had a small trailer attached to it, so I struck that and the triangular scratch would only worry a car-obsessed German. The trailer came out unscathed and the passengers of the car got out briefly, we both decided it was nothing and went our merry way. Well, I was slightly panicked, did some frantic mobile phoning and surprisingly found myself back on the proper route in no time at all.
