Flower Carpet 2010 and Brussels Summer Festival 2010

What a perfect time for me to come to Brussels I must say! This weekend we are having the Flower Carpet 2010 and the Brussels Summer Festival has started too!

Flower Carpet event happens every 2 years in the Grand Place Square in Brussels. This place is just a huge area surrounded by beautiful and historical buildings, some of which were built in the 14th century!! Yes! They are ancient buildings. It is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the whole of Europe apparently according to some websites.

I should show you the pictures so that you will clearly understand what I am talking about :)

More information on wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Place

For 360 degree view check this page: http://www.visitonweb.com/wikipedia/grand-place-bruxelles-uk.html. This page is really brilliant!

The two pictures below are of the Brussels Town Hall. The building also contains a hotel in it and there are huge paintings and real ancient furniture and items inside. The main building was built in 14th or 15th Century!

This building shown below is the Breadhouse or the King's house in more proper words.

The flower carpet from the ground level!

And then I found out that I can go up to the balcony of the Town Hall from where we can get a bird's view! Brilliant! Well I had to pay 3 bucks for that, but who cares!

Here is the entrance of the Town Hall. The sculptures are so intricate and beautiful. And they would look scary in the wrong lighting.

I can't take pictures inside that Town Hall. It is gorgeous inside! All those architecture and paintings and decor! Superb!!

And here is a quick and dirty collage that I did on my small mini laptop with limited resources:

So yep! There you go! Flower Carpet 2010! As for BSF 2010, I don't really have any pictures. I went out with my colleagues/friends last night to catch some performances and stuff. Great bunch of people I've met here thus far. Thanks to Christophe actually. The crowd was amazing. Its a pity we can't really have this scale of events in Singapore. And the pricing is cheap too with 30 bucks for 10 days! In Singapore we would probably be ripped off through the roof! Haha..
