One night in Brussels

Brussels Airport

I flew to Brussels with VLM - quite an expensive airline. It was the only flight available. I laughed when I saw the advert above - it is placed at the VLM gate, just before you get into the plane. You've got to hand it to Virgin - it's clever and cheeky of them.

Volvo CE Headquarter (Brussels)

I visited the Volvo Construction Equipment HQ in Brussels this week. I've now officially been to every HQ of all the businesses across the Volvo Group - for Buses, Trucks, Penta, Aero, Financial Services and Volvo Group HQ - and visited offices in over a dozen countries. Amazing what a global company it is. It's a national past time at Volvo to compare caffetarias. Volvo HQ in Gothenberg has the badge for the best food. Cambridge is notorious for it's stodgy English fare but I still like it - I need fattening up.

Trip to Brussels

I went on a whirlwind trip to Brussels but managed to stop off at the Manneken Piss and Grande Place in the evening for some photos. The light wasn't condusive for master pieces but here and below are a couple of snaps. The drawn version of the little boy is photo'd off a window. Who would have thought that a little boy peeing could cause so much excitement! The little flash of light in the window shot (giving him a bit of modesty) was a complete flook of the light, i certainly wasn't trying to do anything clever. Amazing co-incidental positioning!
