Café surfing

This month our internet connection went kaputt. In other words, our neighbour left for holidays or simply cut their connection. In Brussels it is just too easy to use other people's networks, but impossible to make a new contract for only two months if neighbour's connection is no longer available.

So, I have been hanging out in different Internet cafés around Brussels. First it felt like too much effort, but now I've become addicted to it. When I am at home, I concentrate on the essential and not hanging half online, half doing something else. I use my time more efficiently. Besides, It is very convenient to surf on a sunny terrass and I have got to visit so many nice new cafés already. I could soon make a brochure of nice Internet cafés in Brussels...

Another way to spend the summer

Total Écran is film festival in Brussels. Movies everyday from Cannes Film festival nominees. A must!

 Cinema Arenberg is located in the beautiful Gallerié de la Reine being small, cosy and bohemian at the same time.

Rio Sex Comedy by Jonathan Nossiter is all about pleasure, beautiful Rio and ...enjoying life by being happy with ourselves, who we are and how we look. Particularly, the movie gives an interesting view on plastic surgery, which is quite common in Brazil nowadays. Nevertheless, smile is the best face lift that exists.

Alternative Brussels

One of the best sides of Brussels is that there are always new places, events and streets to discover.

This year I am one of the only ones staying the whole August in the city and decided to enjoy this time. Everything is open, the fact that I might leave this beautiful, colourfull(!)city is very probable.

Let's enjoy every single moment of this time: window shopping in Brussels
