Busy weekend in Brussels

This weekend Brussels was full on happenings in Brussels.

On Saturday, the EU Day opened again the doors to EU buildings as well as expanded their presence on the streets. Many countries, organizations, companies etc have a booth where they offer or sell their products, activate people or just provide information. Food & drinks are also included. Of course.
There were different performances on the streets.
Some higher quality......and some lower.
Today the inner city was car with loads of events on the streets. Also the annual Avenue de Tervuren street fun was today. The street was closed from Cinquantenaire down to Woluwe Park.
In Belgium style, you had food & drinks to fulfill all needs - here with pizza you can have e.g. wine or limoncello.
These guys offered Thai specialties.
Their chicken noodle portion was pretty good for 4 euros.
Then I also spotted hot shoes - these are wooden.
And these guys were the owners - they were part of a traditional outfit...
Too bad all these happened at the same time, didn't have the energy to go to the city but there will be other events coming...

PS For some reason I saw today lots of Finnish people. In about 10 different spots I heard Finnish spoken - and unfortunately some were also visible due to their "red-neck" type of dressing ;o)
