Amsterdam and Brussels

Sergio surprised me in Aachen. He arrived to Spain, and his first question to me was, how do you get to your place?, I answered with a joke, I said I take a bus and say 'bis Haaren Markt bitte', in spanish it sounded like 'bisjarenmar bite'. If you know German, you will notice that it is plainly wrong, and even worst, Haaren Markt is the name of a bus stop, not a street or anything.  I had shown Sergio some pictures of the area, and without any other clue, he decided to try to find me. I have no idea how he did it. He asked someone showing them the spanish pronuntiation of what I said, he then took a cab to Haaren, and by the picture he found the building. My name was not even in the door, but he found Malak's name. He ringed on her door, and she took him to my room. It was the most amazing surprise ever!.
We took the chance to go to Amsterdam and Brussels.
We took a train to Amsterdam, It was summer!!! but maaan it was cold! thank God for H&M, cause I had to get pants in there. We walked around the beautiful channels, and were amazed by the amount if bikes, I think I've never seen so many before. We walked in to the red district, and it was an interesting experience. Later that day we went to Madame Tussauds, it was our first time in a wax museum, and we enjoyed it a lot!

 

We slept on a very cold train station, and we were kicked out of there, so we ended up sleeping in the airport. Next day we were very tired, but still we enjoyed a touristic bus in Brussels.
The Atomium is amazing! very impressive and very beautiful.
Brussels seemed very gray to us, but maybe it had to do with the fact that we were very tired. I spent the whole day (a sunday in Europe, everything was closed) looking for a pair of socks!!! I was freezing!
