Lost in Amsterdam, forever!

This weekend I took a weekend excursion to Bruxelles, Belgium and Amsterdam, Holland...It was thurday night around 9:30pm and all of a sudden the idea of going to Paris for the weekend came up...However, since all the trains were booked for the next couple of months, it was decided that we would make our way over to Amsterdam. Friday morning...early early morning (4am)...we walked over to King's Cross Station (on ONE hour of sleep) for our departure toward Amsterdam. Our train left for Brussels around 6am and we got there in 2 hours, 3 with the time change. It was raining a little but died off, so we headed over to the center of the city...after eating a classier (more expensive) version of a hot pocket (aka cheese and ham hot pastry), we started walking around the city...we ended up seeing the Capital Region and the famous statue of the "Manneken Pis" which is basically a little cherub peeing...but it's actually seen as a symbol of French and Dutch cohabitation in Brussels. When we were there, he was dressed up to celebrate the National Day of Beijing...which is similarily the same day as Dad's Birthday...what a coincidence!...
