On our way back from Brugge, we briefly stopped in Brussels. Since we didnt have a whole lot of time nor a map, we decided to hop on to a tour bus. we got to see all the important sights around...
Interestingly, Congo was a colony of Belgium (didnt know that). There were actually people on the streets that seemed to hail from there. I wondered...wow! thanks to some historical incidents, life of some people has (hopefully) changed for the better. Considering the conditions in Congo, I would imagine, life in Brussels would be better in many ways.
Perhaps one of the 'positive' sides of colonialization.
