Hallerbos

Brussels has few attractions compared to other metropolitan cities of Europe.  Manneken Pis and Grand Place are quite disappointing.  I heard from my colleagues, however, that there is a hidden gem nearby Brussels.  This is bluebell flowers in Halle's forest.  Every April the forest is covered with bluebell flowers.  Today, I went there with my wife and kids.  The beds of bluebell flowers looked amazing.  My kids enjoyed riding of bicycles between the bluebell flowers beds.  However, it is not easy to reach there because GPS navigation systems cannot pin point the forest.  After I selected anywhere of hallerbosstraat in Halle (1500) in my TomTom because I could not have a specific house number, I drove to hallerbosstraat.  I saw a sign leading tourists to Hallerbos.

Hips don't lie

When I heard this song almost three years ago from a radio program at midnight, I could not sleep.  The music video looks a little bit strange.  But, the song sung by Shakira is quite rhythmical.  Her boyish voice is charming.

La Seine

After I watched the animation movie, A Monster in Paris, my favorate expression is "I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why".  This song that was sung by Vanessa Paradis and M is really lovely.  A funny thing is that English version is better than original French version.  M's voice in English version is amazing.  Vanessa Paradis was a girl friend of Jonny Depp.

Young Folks

I like the song played and sung by the three Swedish guys: Peter, Bjorn, and John.  In particular, I like the lead singer's whistling.  By the way, I don't understand why a female singer is frequently changed.  Most female singers' lives have been not as good as the original one.

Place Where the Most Recent Ideas are Coming as Books

Many newspaper articles tend to be shallow.  Most blogs including mine are unprofessional.  Edge is the place where we can meet the most recent ideas that are coming as books.  I am not sure whether my description is correct for the website.

By chance, I discoverd the world's largest ebook library.  The website contains a lot of free ebooks that we cannot locate with Google.  I really appreciate the owner of the website.
