Bruges 4/27/10

We went to Bruges this last weekend, and it was as amazing as i remembered. Everything is so clean compared to Torino, but the prices of everything are over the top. Our first day there, John and I went to an all you can eat rib place called "De Hobbit". It was themed after Lord of the Rings, and the menu was a newspaper called, the daily hobbit. We stayed in a eight bed hostel and we met so many people. The second night we met up with these french guys and tried to labor through hours of conversation. Really tough. They were nice, but the language barrier was so severe. The next day we went to a chocolate museum and a french fry museum. Both were fun, but i'd say the fry museum was the best. All i really wanted was to eat french fries and chocolate, but they felt they had to give you a huge history on everything. Also the chocolate museum had a giant Barack Obama carved out of chocolate. Very offensive. The girls and boys go crazy for Barry over here, i dont get it. I guess they all want hope and change. We went to the outskirts of the city and saw some decomissioned windmills. Apparently, in Belgium Rock and Roll is just catching on, and by rock and roll i mean eighties glamor rock. We went to this bar in brussels where there was a gun's and roses cover band and in bruges we saw a white snake cover band. Then one of the bands played an original which killed the mood and everyone dispersed. This has to be a short blog because im recovering from an illness and need to sleep.
