I should still do at least one of these, though, because it just wouldn't be right to be in Belgium and not at least chow my way through a couple pounds of it! Our hostel is right by the Grand Place, too, so even better.

You can get started at the Grand Place, go to the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate, visit Chocopolis, Galler and take a tour at Planete Chocolat. Then there is always the hands-on children's science museum, Technopolis. Don't forget the "Eiffel Tower" of Brussels - The Atomium!Shirley Clodfelterhttp://profiles.google.com/sassymum01noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098814567120626928.post-27113591242233323502011-11-05T15:52:54.793+00:002011-11-05T15:52:54.793+00:00A shopfront IS a real exhibit.

At these prices, they'd better be hand-catching them and then teaching them to jump through flaming hoops in a mouse circus!<br /><br />As for the lack of chocolate-lovin', that is reserved for chocolate-chocolates! There is always room for a brownie or cake. ;) And I have also dog-eared an embarrassing number of patisseries to try...I'm going to gain ten pounds in Paris alone!RonaSFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098814567120626928.post-66468027980833543532011-11-05T15:52:29.481+00:002011-11-05T15:52:29.481+00:00Ah - normally my favourite shop window exhibits in...Ah - normally my favourite shop window exhibits involve cakes, pastries, chocolates, pies... I could stand in front of afternoon tea places for hours...mmm...although then again, I've just read the comments below and realised you don't like chocolate!?!?! ("Not even 70%?" squeeks that little voice of disbelief!) And the couples looking in - so cute ^_^ Man - I hope when I'm old and grey and full of sleep, someone will want to come window shopping with me, looking at antiques that are our current modern fare and say things like "Do you remember when..." or "I can't believe that's an antique!!!". Of course, this is assuming I live to a ripe old age...<br /><br />I totally sympathise with the mouse problem. My first flat in London housed about five families of them (from what I could figure!!!). In fact, I don't think I have ever lived in a mouse free flat since coming to London! I have MANY mouse stories!!! And London mice are real cheeky and practically fearless. The problem is that they may not be getting food from you - it may be your neighbours that are feeding them up (with nice food that is preferable to poison) and they just like your flat as a playground. I hope the pest controllers manage to sort it out. A good tip is to block any holes in your flat with those wire scourers you use to scrub dishes with as they can't knaw through that esp around water pipes etc. Unfortunately if your flat is anything like mine, there are like one million holes because the place is so old, it's practically falling apart!!! I think the only good thing that was a result of my mouse days, is I'm much more tidy than I ever have been!!!Little wingnoreply@blogger.com
