It was already the night when Yunluo and Koala arrived in London. The station was a very old vaulted building. The crimson bricks and grey borders looked quaint and atmospheric. The railway station separated by a square was full of yellow bricks and stones, and the volume was huge and conspicuous.

Yunluo has always heard of the public security near the railway station, and indeed saw many beggars and people swaying around the railway station with wine bottles. Fortunately, no one came forward to cause trouble for Yunluo. Yunluo ran to the railway station in a low-key manner to find a place to store this big box.

There is a row of pianos in the central hall of the railway station, and there is one every ten meters. On the first piano was a middle-aged man with an Asian face, fumbled around him, but he didn't see him playing it. A group of spectators were squeezed around him. Instead, Yun Luo walked back and forth. After passing many empty pianos, the sound of the piano came faintly, with a soft and modern feel.

Koala held Yun Luo's hand. When the two approached, they saw that it was a dark-brown uncle playing slowly. If this was a movie, Yun Luo's mind must be jumping out of this black gentleman's hand at this time, it must be a jazz jumping or a b-ret. But what was poured into Yun Luo's ears was the melody of modern light music, fluent, casual and melodious.

He was not as flamboyant or personal as a jazz, but gave people a faint taste. It was also obvious that this uncle was playing improvisation. Although it was not clear how exquisite his improvisation was, it was enough to make people feel clear. There was only one listener standing beside him, standing there listening quietly.

In this country calculated in pounds, it is much more expensive to store luggage than imagined. Yunluo's 24-inch box costs more than 10 hours for overnight stays, and the charge is 10 pounds. It's really a bit distressing. But thinking about the gravel road and safety issues that have been going to the hotel, Yunluo can only spend this money.

There are many small shops opened by Indians and Pakistani people gathered on the paths around the railway station. Like other railway station areas, the streets here seem small and relatively messy, with some deep alleys dark at night. There are fewer pedestrians on the street, so Yunluo and Koala have accelerated their pace. The hotel is located at a crossroads, which is an ancient building.

After entering the door, the lobby was in the lobby. On the sofa opposite, there were many young people using wifi on mobile devices. The young man at the front desk skillfully took Yunluo's appointment order and passport, and gave Yunluo the Internet password, door card and key.

From the hall, there are many young people living here. There are also a few young people drinking beer sitting on the steps at the door. Yunluo's room seems to be on the first floor. Koala and Yunluo live safely.

The canteen of the hotel is on the ground floor and is a relatively deep hall. Obviously, many guests have already gotten up early to have breakfast, and they serve meals mainly like soaked cereals. There is no meat or vegetarian dishes. In addition to soaking cereals, there are milk and toasts, but this is enough for Yunluo. At least it can provide the calories required for Yunluo's journey.

Yun Luo was still the same as before, poured half a bowl of hot water to soften the cereals. After adding a little milk to enhance the flavor, Gudu Gudu drank this big bowl and became confused. Yun Luo followed the little princess on her back with her bag on her way.

Time is still tight. Yunluo sent a message and chatted with the guy for a few words. When the guy heard that Yunluo was from Sihai, his reaction was beyond Yunluo's expectations. He said that his friend told him that Sihai had such a wide circular road in the sky, one round after another, which was incredible.

Yun Luo was confused by his words. After thinking about it carefully, he probably refers to the inner ring and outer ring elevated roads. He explained it carefully to him. It seems that the point that everyone is concerned about a place and a city may not be those famous attractions, but people, things, and things that are unexpected in all aspects.

The train from London to Belgium actually passes through France and then to Belgium. After taking the electronic ticket to enter the mill, it is a customs clearance office, where you will check your passport and visa information and then release it. Yunluo originally thought that like taking a plane, he would need to enter the customs again after the train arrives and leaves the station, but in fact it was not.

After Yun Luo left London, he arrived in Belgium and got off the train. He walked out of the train station without passing through any checkpoints. After that, he did not pass through any customs when he boarded the train to Paris, France. It can be seen that the European continent is still very unobstructed. In contrast, when we fly to Xiangjiang City, we need to go out of the customs and enter the customs at one time, which is really a lot of difference.

The train station in Brussels was not very big. After getting off the train, the crowd walked to the hall. I originally thought that at least one subway line would pass through an international train station like Brussels South Station, but this guess was obviously wrong. Yun Luo walked from beginning to end, but there was no sign or entrance of the subway. At the same time, Yun Luo felt that the language barrier was the first time.

Because almost all names and station signs are marked in French and Dutch, we can only guess the general meaning based on sporadic words with similar pronunciations, but the slightly more complicated ones really can't understand it. This also caused quite a lot of trouble to look at the map behind the clouds, and we also encountered the same problem in Paris.

First of all, the French street names maps in Brussels are marked with capital. For Chinese people who are used to lowercase letters, nouns with all capital letters originally require a thinking process. In addition, due to French, they often come backwards, so if you look at it carefully, you may not find the location marked on the map. This makes it more common to ask for directions.

As soon as she left the station, Yunluo met a girl. She politely told Yunluo that she happened to go to the subway station and signaled Yunluo Koala to follow her. We had a brief chat on the way. It seemed that she had just arrived in this country and lived for two years. She told Yunluo that this season was rainy and that the temperature would be extremely low once it rained.

A few days ago, she was wearing a down jacket, but today it was suddenly shining brightly, so she put on short-sleeved sleeves. The subway station is not too far from the train station, and it is about a few hundred meters away. After saying goodbye to her, Yun Luo queued up to go to the manual ticket window to buy tickets. In front of Yun Luo were a few Chinese girls, and the advantages of English were stiff.

However, the three girls were all dressed up brightly, and the ticket sales uncle was happy to talk to them, enthusiastically helped them buy tickets, answer their questions, and after knowing that they were from China, they also used "Hello" to greet them.

In Belgium and France, Yunluo's feeling is that the locals have a very unique personality. Yunluo meets many good young people, girls, and good uncles who are willing to help or even take the initiative to help. But he also meets many arrogant and rude people who directly wave to Yunluo's help.

The hotel where Yunluo and Koala live is located at the northmost part of the pentagonal area in the center of Brussels, because it is still in the city and the hotel price is affordable. But when I chatted with Grandma Giselle, I realized that there is as dangerous as outside the central urban area of ​​the region. The safest thing in the entire city of Brussels is the rich area in the southwest of the pentagon.

The city center and the north side are particularly dangerous, and the north side of this pentagon is the red light district. It is the most unsafe area. Yunluo and Koala came out of the station and found a group of middle-aged men and aunts from the mainland carrying SLRs on their way back to the hotel, while Yunluo was also getting lost with a map. Yunluo found a pair of carefully dressed and beautiful mother and daughter asking for directions.

Obviously, their bloodlines do not seem to be locals, but although they don’t know where Yunluo is going, they can point out where Yunluo is now. With this location, Yunluo is next. He found the max hotel that Yunluo is going to at the next corner. As for European hotels, the max hotel is very cost-effective.

In London, it might be just a room that can be squeezed into by one person, but the room here is obviously larger, and there are rooms as big as Home Inn. There is no door to the bathroom and the bathroom, and the toilet is a very small separate compartment. The things are still tidy, but once you enter the room, you can deeply understand the differences between Belgians and British people doing things.

I have stayed in so many hotels in the UK, most of which are relatively old, but they are absolutely clean and have no odor. Even at the Curzon Hotel, where I stayed in Hyde Park, London, there is no water stains or odor in the public bathing facilities. However, as soon as the room in the Belgian hotel was in, there was a slight dampness and musty smell, but fortunately it was not strong.

Yun Luo was already hungry after all the troubles. He found the soft cookie he bought in the lake area. After chewing a few bites, he felt a little relieved and fell on the bed and slept for a while. Koala would not suffer with Yun Luo. The little princess is the little princess, and those bodyguards who protect casually did nothing.

It was still the same rule. When I arrived at a place, the first task was to study the map and guide, and then carefully plan the itinerary for the next few days. Yunluo lived in the place not too far from the Grand Plaza, so he decided to go to the Grand Plaza in the afternoon and take a look at the boy's appearance.

Unlike in the UK, when I arrived in Belgium, I received news from the embassy, ​​warning me not to stay in crowded places, be careful and not to go out alone at night, etc., and walking on the road can indeed feel a very different atmosphere from the UK.

Fortunately, the first Belgian that Yunluo met was a local young man. He walked alone on the street. When Yunluo walked faster than him, he greeted him kindly, and asked Yunluo if he was willing to walk together. If he was on the same road, Yunluo was still very cautious at the beginning and tried to keep walking on the crowded road.

Later, after chatting, I realized that the young man had just quarreled with his girlfriend and was in a bad mood, so he was afraid of staying alone. From his mouth, Yunluo learned that Belgium's economy had plummeted. For young people, it became extremely difficult to find a job now, which made Yunluo gradually begin to understand.

Why do we see so many young homeless men sitting on the side of the road when we pass by Edinburgh? As we chatted, we passed by the big square, a place that is very famous in many tourist books. Clouds passed by almost every day in the next few days. The Swan Restaurant, which Marx often visited, was in a corner of the square, followed by a peeing boy.

However, a few days later, Yunluo realized that chatting with strangers was a very dangerous thing in Belgium, especially in the area where Yunluo lives. But who is Yunluo? It’s a little bit, Koala is quite interested.

In the area near the Grand Plaza and further north, there are many gypsies or people from Middle Eastern countries living in. When Yunluo is walking on the road, if a opposite sex comes to him, maybe it is just a contact with him, maybe it is a whistle, or when you suddenly find him at the next intersection.

The person who just walked over came up to say hello to you. Such things are common, and in the end Yun Luo had to walk with his head down cautiously and never look at him anywhere.

Of course, Belgian chocolate is the price of very expensive chocolates in Belgium in Belgium, and the local price of them is only about one-third of that in China. If you go, remember to bring them back. The feeling of melting the delicious chocolate on the tip of your tongue is really super happy and pleasant.

It is also worth mentioning that the waffles and chocolate sauce are all over Europe. Yunluo tried a waffle shop around the peeing kids. It was not expensive. Add a large spoon of hot chocolate sauce that we used to use for soup. Add a very sweet and soft waffle. After taking a bite, you will find that sweetness is also a very exciting taste.

After a few consecutive sips, I felt very full while feeling very full. However, I held this sweet sweet food in my hand and refused to give it up, but I couldn't continue to sip.

In the spirit of safety, in Belgium and France, once the sky starts to dim, the clouds fall, and the koala must return to the hotel. This proves to be extremely critical. The Belgian guy repeatedly warned Yunluo that he should not walk on the street alone at night, especially when Yunluo lives nearby.

I have visited many museums of all sizes along the way, each full of personality. Although the museums in Belgium are not the largest in terms of scale and architectural style, the collections inside really surprised Yun Luo. I love them very much, if the British Museum is as domineering as a king.

The museums in Belgium are as elegant, simple as queens, but rich in connotation. For the Louvre, Yunluo can only express this complex, beautiful, priceless, huge and noisy museum. If you go to Yunluo again, you can stay in it for a week.

In the early morning, Yunluo and Koala used breakfast in a cafe that looked not too expensive near their residence, and ordered a pie that could not be seen clearly and a cup of latte. Belgians love chocolate. When they served the latte, they did not forget to add a piece of dark chocolate to enhance the flavor of the coffee.

The baked pie is made of eggs, ham and vegetables. For Yunluo, who has hardly tasted enough salt in the UK, this pie is extremely delicious. The food in Belgian and French is so delicious than that in the UK.

After looking at the map, Yun Luo walked along the main road to the square where the palace was located. On the way, he encountered a very magnificent monument. Two lions were lying beside the monument, and there were fires burning on the altar in the middle. The monument was placed in a garden. The white and yellow daffodils and the blue and purple flowers in the tone were shining each other, which was really beautiful and cute.

Continue to move forward and you can walk to the Brussels Park, which comes one by one, and the other by the Grand Palace. In the park are modeled statues of masterpieces collected by the Belgian Museum. On the park Avenue, there are dense strings of light vermilion red flowers on the green branches, which are extremely beautiful with the light blue sky as the background.

The park is not large in size, but there are many young people who run and fall in love. After passing through the park, Yun Luo came to the officialdom in front of the Belgian Palace. Another section of the square is the National Gallery of Brussels. In fact, the same entrance connects three different art galleries, the National Gallery, the Contemporary Art Gallery, and a private art gallery.

Since Yun Luo was not passionate about contemporary art, he took a quick look at it. Yun Luo was shocked. Looking along the way, the biggest difference between the collections in Belgium and Paris and Britain is that they are exquisite, simple and accurate. They are not exquisite, complex, but they are by no means overly elegant, elegant, and accurate in depicting, and bring a sense of holiness.

Most of the National Museums exhibit priceless treasures, with sculptures and paintings from masters everywhere. There are many extremely precious collections of religious themes in the second floor corridor. Many of the signatures below the works are well-known names, so I have to be amazed.

The design of the entire art gallery is a palace with a tall foyer in the middle. All the exhibitions are in the small compartment between the corridor and the corridor. They don’t seem big, but after walking around, it’s really interesting.

Looking back at many buildings in China, few people have made the hall tall, transparent and straight up to the glass ceiling. The floor intervals are so high that although the area usage rate is reduced, it gives people the feeling that it is no longer depressing, but bright and solemn. Each exhibit is carefully placed and explained, and some treasures are like in the British Museum, without glass.

The shock of this profound history and the masterpieces of masterpieces of art paintings are unspeakable to be displayed directly in front of visitors. Among the three museums, the buildings are completely underground, with a total of 4 floors.

During this period, European artworks were mainly exhibited, including many Renaissance sketches, sculptures, classical furniture, jewelry, paintings, and lighting.

All of them are beautiful and amazing. The obvious feature of works of this era is that aesthetics are more acceptable to us modern people, but the classical meanings contained in it, the details of meticulously crafted, retro design, bold use of colors, and fine but not as complicated as those of previous eras, making clouds fall in this art hall and koala like it very much.

After visiting Ms. Meisi, Yun Luo realized that this museum was actually donated by a local collector family, and all the collections were owned by this collector family, which was breathtaking. Not to mention that the works here are valuable, just building a place that can display and preserve these artistic treasures well is a huge investment.

This made Yun Luo unconscious of the concept of wealth at home and abroad. Now the whole world knows that Chinese people are rich and rich, but just as Ms. Meisi said, Chinese people are so rich that they are not ready to become the upper class at all, and do not know how to manage their property and assume the social responsibilities, moral standards, and behavioral methods of the upper class.
