ANTWEP TO BRUGGE!
Trips: Hospital Museum , Christmas Mall
Took a tram from the apartment to the Central Station which looks really reeally historic yet beautiful. You'll never see this in Kl's ktm station.
Excited/Cold. My lips were starting to crack, so that's the MAX I could smile.
And Finally....we arrived!
We had to walk a major long pathway to the main square. There's where all the shopping happens.
THEN..
Horses after horses. Its like the amount of Beca's in Penang. But lesser by a little. The horses don't even smell! -duhiminacoldcountry-
Now, the Christmas building!
While my mom was helping me take pictures, a princey looking white guy ask me to take a shot of with his decorations and I did.
Got on the train and it took 45 minutes to reach Brugge.

Hospital Museum
Sorry, camera's allowed in the museum. Hence, no pictures.
But I saw like.. the most ridiculous instruments for treating sickness that looked like torture equipments.
To fix your eye.
-A scapel and a lamp.
To fix your arm.
- A saw. And bandages.
Intestines.
- A knife.
And much more puking evidence.
THEN..
While we were walking towards the Chirstmas Mall, I saw all these gorgeous horse carraiges.
The picture below is my favourite. It's like mini horses with large amounts of fur on their hands that looks like socks. Haha!

Theme: White room
While my mom was helping me take pictures, a princey looking white guy ask me to take a shot of with his decorations and I did.'Bangga moment'. I think it's cause of the new white boots I bought on day 1. Haha!
Please excuse the bangga moment. =.=

Turns out he was the one who created the whole room.
And on the outside, sculptures of "Jesus's Birth" from many countries.
Africa I think.
Korea
And many many more.
Upside down tree. And a ladder tree. There were about 30 trees in there. couldn't manage to take all of them.
And we entered the japanese inspired christmas room!
Me and my sis. Haha. Black and white..
After that we entered the sphere room, everything in there was like, a sphere. 20+ sphere trees and scuptures. This is just one of them. Many many more rooms! The light room..authentic room...etc etc.
We headed out to the square!

Shopped around soooo much! Plus, the toy shops there were like, 'Mr Wonder's Emporium'! Forgot the title. Everything was so animated!
It was already 6 when we remembered that we were supposed to see the Holy Blood in the Basalica. F.y.i. Jesus's Blood stored in a small container.
Outside, they had thier ice skating rink.. not like ours. They put real snow in it. =p

But we were too late! It closes around 5pm. Ended taking pictures OUTSIDE the church. *sighs*
