Free Hugs

Wandering around the Grand Place area, we met a group of people offering free hugs, so we accepted.

Interesting to see people's different reactions, funnily enough it was two burly American students who were the most reluctant, even more embarrassed than the surprisingly 'touchy feely' Brits.

It was a nice surprise after watching some superb jugglers at Espaces Speculoos, and that was also free.

So we spent the money we saved on beer!

Hooray for Brussels.

Found love at the corner of my street

In Dutch they say 'luck lies in a little corner'. I had to think of that when I found this tag on the pavement at the corner of my street. The tags 'amour' (French for love) can be found on pavements all over Brussels. I don't know who is behind this, but it sure adds a poetic feeling to the city...
