The chances of anything coming from Mars..

Wow! It's like something out of war of the worlds as you turn a corner and see it standing there! Inside was filled with interesting facts on the atomium and its formation. The photos of it in its youth, and of other structures made for previous conferences across the globe. The different rooms across the structure hold light art exhibitions that either mesmerise you.. baffle you, or wonderfully send you to sleep in a calm serenity. I came out very happy with my visit, and felt I got good value for money. We took the tube from Brussels and it came out about a 5 minute walk from the entrance. I definitely recommend it! #atomium #Brussels #Belgium #Achitacture #mars

The capital of Europe, chocolate and comics

#timetotravel #brussels #trip The heart of Europe. This city is historic and hip, bureaucratic and bizarre. Alluring, but without pretence. The capital of Europe, chocolate, comics and surrealism. Brussels is a special place. It does not take itself too seriously. Mainly distinguished by its bureaucratic tone (we are talking about the de facto capital of the European Union, after all), Brussels may be recognized for its business in the front, but its party-in-the-back attitude is progressively revealing its irreverently charming antics, shedding its serious disposition—and reserved reputation. After all, among the city’s slew of cathedrals, palaces, and castles—all dripping in history and ancient intrigue—is one of Brussels’s most undisputed national treasures: a mini bronze sculpture of a little boy peeing, known as the infamous Manneken Pis.

What a Place!

#celebratewithtrip Brussels, Belgium is just a 2 and a half hour ride by bus from Amsterdam. It is faster by train but the bus was cheaper 😁 although train is definitely more comfortable but we wanted to try the bus ride experience to be able to compare it on what to take on our next vacation 😊 One of the reasons why we wanted to go to Brussels was to see the Atomium which is the most popular landmark in the city! We saw the Atomium at day time but we went there during night and it was more beautiful with all the lights on. The lights gave more life and charms to the object which is the Atomium. Brussels was a very interesting place. We had an exciting experience that we won‘t forget for the rest of our lives 😅 #brussels #belgium #atomium #busride #unforgettableexperience #europetour #europe

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS

The Netherlands, informally named as Holland, is a country located in Northwestern Europe. Amsterdam is the capital by virtue of the Constitution of the Netherlands, although the States General and the Executive Branch are situated in The Hague since 1588. Amsterdam Airport (AMS) known as Schiphol Airport is the main international airport of the Netherlands. It is located 9 kilometres southwest of the city. It is the world's third busiest airport by international passenger traffic in 2021. From Taipei, I took a China Airlines flight to Amsterdam with a stopover in Bangkok. I had an unforgettable memory during my trip to the Netherlands. During my side trip to Brussels, Belgium, and on my way back to Amsterdam, my backpack was stolen inside a train. I lost my iPad mini, a few hundred Euros and my passport. I reported the incident to the police in Antwerpen and was issued a police case report. With the help of China Airlines ground staff in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, I was able to travel back to Taipei without a passport. The police report became my important document in passing through the immigration in Amsterdam and in Taipei. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #summervacation #bucketlistreboot #amsterdam #schipolairport #brussels #antwerpenbelgium
