Lodging in Brussels by Zander

The boy urinating with me

The Grand Place with really fence buildings

Our neighborhood in Brussels was really sketchy. It wasn't the buildings. But the people were prostitutes sitting on street corners and in door steps. The prostitutes were not wearing much and looked really bored. To get into our apartment, we had to shoo the girls off our door step. OulIt was really scary, because I could not walk out side alone without getting whistled at. There were about 50 prostitutes sitting around the block and the girls sat on door steps or walked around showing off their lady parts. What was weird was the prostitutes spoke spanish and they were about 40 years old, so they weren't that attractive.

All the prostitutes were wearing the same uniform: black high heels, short dresses, and lots of cheap makeup. I thought that they looked really scary. The prostitutes spent most of the day sitting on the street corner talking and listening to music. I also saw some of the pimps sitting around with their girls. It must be a really boring job all day.
It would not be a good business to be in.

Other than the prostitutes, our apartment was ok. There was enough space for 5 people to have beds. I got the floor, because I didn't want to sleep with the lady's. And there was a Kitchenette to cook at. The problem with the kitchenette was that there wasn't a fridge, which was weird. Most hotel rooms have a fridge, but this one didn't. We went out to dinner at a kebab shop and walked around the city. Brussels is known for being the capital of the Euro and a statue of a little Boy urinating. We saw both of the sites and ate some really good waffles and ice cream near the boy statue. My favorite part of the day was eating ice cream while looking into shop windows in the Grand Place.
