Trip to Belgium 1
Few years back, I travelled all the way from Singapore to Belgium for a work trip for the second time. All the pictures were taken using my early generation of Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. By today's standard, the photos from that phone are not very good and it was quite cloudy during the week I was there. After reviewing the old photos and seems some minor adjustment to the exposure, there are improvements. So, I decided to relieve the moments by starting this post. Unfortunately, I cannot remember all the locations where the photos where taken.
好几年前，从新加坡到了比利时公干。那时，我用的手机是三星GalaxyS2。按照今天的标准，当时的照片可是差强人意。最近翻看旧照用软件改良了曝光后好像有点见得人。于是，决定回味一下而写下这帖。
有点可惜的是，有些拍照地点也记不起来。

Anyway, instead of Belgium, my first stop was Amsterdam, Netherlands where I flew in to take a train to Antwerp.
Amsterdam has a nice airport with things to eat and places to spend your money. Here are some shots of the Amsterdam airport as I went looking for how to get to the train station.
第一站并非比利时而阿姆斯特丹，荷兰。，我立马在坐火车到安特卫普。
阿姆斯特丹有一个相当好的机场有。有地方充饥也有地方让你花钱。以下是阿姆斯特丹机场的照片是寻找火车站时顺便拍的。

Oooh.... and a shop selling chocolates but I've got a train to catch though the way to the train station was an easy find.
哟....还有巧克力店。可惜列车不等人。火车站总算不难找。

Waiting, waiting, waiting and the train cometh.
等待，等待，等待，火车的来临。

The Central Train station where I got off at Antwerp, Belgium is quite huge. Part of the building is historical. Looking at the architecture, I need to come back for a walk to get a better look.
到达了安特卫普(比利时)的中央火车站下车，发现车站相当庞大。一部分建筑还有点历史。一定要回来走走多看几眼。

Heading out of the train station, there are jewellry shops. Incidentally, Antwerp is a diamond cutting center in the world. Even the entrance/exit has a cool design. See the legs?
火车站外就有几间珠宝商。安特卫普是世界钻石切割中心之一。即使是火车站的出入口的设计也挺有趣。看见那双腿吗？

As I walked towards the hotel, there are more jewellry shops and here are some things I saw along the way.
朝着酒店方向走去，看到更多珠宝商店也把见到的情景拍下。

Finally, arrived at the Sir Plantin Hotel Antwerp. It didn't look too fancy from the outside but the inside is a little more interesting.
终于到Sir Plantin Hotel Antwerp。外面看起来并没什么特别但里面可有趣。

Apparently, this bridge has a long history behind it too but I cannot remember the story.
据说这座桥背后都有一个很长的历史但我不记起得那故事。

Bright colours on a building that caught me eyes.
颜色鲜艳。拍下来。

This was the hotel building I stayed at during my previous trip to Antwerp but it seems to be unders a new operator already.
我上一次来比利时是住这酒店但它似乎换了主人了。

The corridor to the rooms was dimly lit and the floor and walls were black. Room numbers are on the little carpets of different colours outside the door.
没见过地面和墙壁都是黑乎乎的。灯光也不大亮而房间号码就在地上不同颜色的小地毯。有点心思。

The wall behind the bed has a painting of a lady. I don't know if it was supposed to be someone but if anyone has any information, please do share. I heard different rooms come with different design.
床后面的墙上有一幅女人画像。我不知道这是否应该是一个真实的人。我听说不同的客房有不同的设计。

Not a big room - the TV was hung on the wall and not very big by current standard.
不是很的大房间 - 小电视就挂在墙上。

Outside the window, the view is not too bad.
窗外的景色不算太差。

Well, that's all for now. In my next post for this trip, I'll devote more time for the Central Train Station for that was where I headed after dropping off my luggage.

就在这停笔（还是键盘?).下一篇文会花更多的时间在中央火车站因为我放下行李就走回那边看个够。
