Brussels 2000

At the end of summer 2000 I went on a weekend trip to Brussels. These pictures are from that trip.

British Airways Boeing 757 at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.	More planes at the airport.	Transit area of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
Some more transit area.	The BA plane from another angle.	Finnair planes.
The first picture of Brussels. Bright sunlight almost made me blind.	Hotel Meridian just opposite of the main entrance of the central railway station.	An old church near the railway station.
The "Old England" house with note decorations.	An old church being restored.	Entrance to... somewhere.
I was on a sight-seeing tour.	Another old church.	I do not even remember what this picture is about...
A city view from Brussels.	Some famous guy?	The skyscraper of the Central Bank of Europe.
The famous symbol of the Brussels World Exhibition.	The same structure.	The Chinese pavillion of the mentioned exhibition.
The Japanese pavillion.	Yet another church.	A view near that church.
The hostel room I lived in.	My bed...	A view to the entrance to the hostel.
A view near the hostel, the ECB building in the background.	A statue and buildings in the center of Brussels.	Buildings and traffic in the center of Brussels.
More architecture.	A subway station on the street.	An European Union building under repairs.
Another EU building.	A statue in front of the previous building.	The statue of Robert Schuman.
The European Parliament buildings in the background.	The same picture with zoom.	A stray dog on the streets of Brussels.
Birds swimming in a lake in the park.	A nice view to the park.	The building of the European Parliament.
A dinosaur in front of the Natural Historic Museum.	Dinosaurs inside the museum.	A close-up of a dinosaur.
There were lions there, too.	The skeleton of a mammoth.	A wild boar with small porks.
More wild boars.	Seals on ice.	Slimy worms in a terrarium.
Yet another street view.	Insides of some church.	A view to the city.
A nice clock.	One of the most famous statues in the world, Manneken Pis - with clothes.	The same statue.
Yet another picture of Manneken Pis.	Buildings of the medieval Brussels Grand Square.	A picture from the Grand Square.
A volley ball match.	A picture I should rotate 90 degrees.	Still one picture from the Square.
I visited a museum with some similarity to Heureka (in Vantaa, Finland).	A tram at the opening of the tunnel.	A tram/subway station.
Daniel Suy, a travel guide and a webdesigner from Brussels.	Brussels at night.	A friendly guy at the entrance to a club called Sonik.
A DJ played records at Sonik.	The empty dance floor of Sonik.	More emptiness and lights.
An obscure view of people dancing.	More people dancing.	And more...
And more...	And more...	The dance floor and the bar.
DJ Semtec played really groove techno.	Once again, people dancing.	Yet more...
Light and people.	More light and people.	Perhaps the best and sharpest Sonik picture.
Nicolas van der Plancken with his Intermedi8 friends.	The Brussels airport. Bigger than Helsinki-Vantaa...	Planes.
Transit area of the airport.	Waiting for the boarding...	A view from a Finnair Airbus A321 to the terminal on a rainy evening.
Here I am drinking tea as Daniel's guest. (Photo: Daniel Suy)	Another almost similar picture. (Photo: Daniel Suy)
