Europe: Day 8

Netherlands: Amsterdam --> Belgium: Brussels --> France: Paris

Its going to be the longest journey of the entire tour. Will be spending almost a total of 7 hours in the bus. Left Amsterdam early in the morning for Belgium. Once we got there, the first thing we saw was the Atomium, a cubic crystal structure magnified 165 billion times. After that, headed to the Grand Place.It is one of Europe's most beautiful squares. So happen they are having some sort of flower festival there at that time so the square is decorated with a lot of beautiful flowers. We also saw the Manniken Piss. I think most of you guys will know what it is. You know that small buy sculpture that is usually sold in fish shops? When connected with a pipe he will be 'pissing'. Legend says that this boy put out a bomb by pissing on it LOL. Not bad. Smart kid. Bought some famous Belgium chocolates and tried their waffles before heading back to the bus.

After Brussels, we continue with our journey to Paris. The journey will take 4 to 5 hours including toilet stops. Damn freaking long. Finished 2 DVDs also haven't reach. Again, the hotel is located in the outskirts of Paris. Nothing to shop nearby. Thank god they had a restaurant nearby. Haven't eaten dinner yet. So hungry. French people are really stupid. Don't even know a single word of English. Idiots. Have to show sign to communicate with them. Like communicating with dumb people. Tried their steak and had a couple of beer before going back to the hotel. 3 meals and 3 beers cost €60+. Converting back to RM it is around RM300+. Bugger. Off to bed now. Will be another long day tomorrow. I think you guys should know why. Its Paris.
