So here we are, at 22.00 arriving at the apartment.
The apartment consists of a big room divided to two.
One living room with a sofa, two armchairs and a table with a couple of chairs.
On the second half of the room, the bedroom is placed with just a bed and a nightstand.
Also a bathroom and a WC (separately) exists and a little cuisine.
The room is warm (you can handle by wearing just a T-Shirt and a pair of athletics trousers)
After unpacking the baggage and setting up the cloths to the closet, it was time to check the connectivity of the apartment J
I opened the laptop, and start searching for a WiFi. There it was, an unsecure WiFi, which and I took advantage of J (after two weeks and many attempts to secure/hack it, finally the victim succeed to secure the WiFi, so no more connection L)
The view of the apartment was fair… Not very good but affordable. In some cases, better than the view that apartments in Athens have.
You can have a look of the apartment at the following url:

Also you can find some photos from Brussels, that I managed to upload.
That's for the moment guys & gals, be back to you soon!

Trip to Brussels!
Hello!
I've been in Brussels since 18/3/07 for a bussines trip.
I've been here for two weeks, but now I've got the idea of a Blog.
So I will try to post my news from that trip, at least twice a week.
A few words for the trip till now:
As I said I've been in Brussels from 18/3/07. I left Athens with the weather not so sunny as expected. But that was nothing. When we arrived in Brussels, the temperature was 8C :)
So after a delay of an hour, we got in the plane and start the trip to Belgium. I was flying during a day (aprox. 17.00 - 18.00) but Europe was in cloud so the view was just clouds... No Alpes, no sea, no nothing.
We arrived in Brussels at about 21.00. (I was travelling with two other coleagues) The coleagues were staying in a hotel, and I was staying in an appartment near the 'Merode' metro station.
So we decide that because of the time, there was no time for going to our places, leaving the baggages there and meet for a drink and or launch. So the plan was to eat at Q (something like McDonalds & Goody's) in the airport.
After a kilometer of walking inside the airport of Brussels, we collect our baggages and headed to the exit (and to the restaurants).
That's where the first surprise was: Welcome to a bi-lingual city!
Half of the people at speaking French and half of the people are speaking Dutch. All of them understand English (but not always using them... :S)
Anyway, after the launch, we headed to the Taxi Station. If you ever been in Brussels, remember to call for an 'Autolux' taxi. (that's what I've done). What's the good of Autolux taxies? They are going you to your destination, and you pay 40% more... (I am not sure if it was 30 or 40 but anyway). The good is that when you return back, you are going for free... :) And all that by asking for an 'Aller - Retur' ticket.
So I arrived at the appartment at aprox. 22.00....
...That's for the begining, I wll update my blog with more details soon!!! :)
