Backyard Snowing
Today, the weather was not as nice as yesterday. Slightly above 0, and snowing; snowing and melting, with a grey sky. I fell asleep on the sofa after breakfast, and then were forced out for lunch. In retrospect it was probably pretty good, otherwise I would probably still be on the sofa.

Christmas Eve
Or at least Christmas Eve's afternoon. Been out in the snow, found some breakfast, did some basic touristy stuff. Went to a Swedish food store and decided that we should get christmas food and do some celebration. I look a bit more happy about it than Magnus do...
Polish People
After an hour's delay in Frankfurt am Crappy-airport-layout, I finally landed on a snowy runway in Brussels. The baggage claim area was a mess, due to several delayed flights, and even more annoying passengers. I was lucky, my bag was one of the first on the belt.
Taxi line was long, and the previous night's lack of sleep combined with 18 hours of travel started to take its toll on me. The man behind me kept walking in to my camera and computer bag. Tired, cold and hungry Emma does not handle being bumped into very well. Luckily, a Korean man tried to cut line at that time, which was kind of entertaining.
Got in a Taxi. The Greek driver, called Anthony sang West Side Story while complaining about others driving too slow. Almost most 10 cm snow and lots of people out in the streets, driving slow could actually be a valid choice. Some people were even outside in the middle of the street, jumping around, reluctant to move. Anthony had to slow down. I asked:
- Why are they behaving like that?
He replied;
- Ehh, you know, Polish people!

Moules Frites
The Moules, very tasty, steamed in white wine and celery (Staudensellerie, Céleri, Selderij). The Frites, well they do them better home in Shibuya. I aslo tried oysters, not impressed. Brussles-Japan : (1-2)
Somebody is making a silly face, to avoid looking retarded in the photo. This strategy has its flaws.
Frankfurt Airport
Needs to be blown to pieces and rebuilt with a layout that shows a shred of sanity.
