Our Trip to Brussels

We took a bus from the school in Kerpen to
Brussels. The ride took three hours. When we got there we went to the EU Parliament to listen to one of
Sweden’s representatives, Cristoffer Fjellner. He talked about his life as politician in the EU Parliament and his specific tasks. His main tasks are about public affairs and the environment. We were allowed to ask as many questions as we wanted and it was very interesting to listen to him. It seemed like he had a very hectic life and most of it circled around his job. He travels a lot. He spends his weekends in Sweden and the rest of the days in
Brussels or in other parts of the world. His main focus was Indian trade from an European point of view.   

After the visit at the Parliament we received some free time to walk around and see the city. At first everything in the city looked very new and modern. It almost looked like the whole city was made of glass. But all of a sudden when we turned around in to a small street we came into a square surrounded by absolutely beautiful old buildings. We were fascinated that the big modern city so suddenly became so old and interesting. The buildings around the square were huge with many really well made details on them.

We walked over the square into a small ally with a lot of chocolate shops on both sides. We went inside one of them and the whole boutique was filled with shelves overloaded with the most beautiful chocolate boxes and chocolate we had ever seen.
