Brussels was quite uneventful. As we deplaned, I noticed that it reminded me of the airport in Bangkok although a lot smaller. It's pretty dead in any airport at 7 in the morning (OK, maybe not Singpore nor Dubai). Quickly looked into Duty Free (pretty expensive for Canadians but fairly normal for Europe) and then off to Terminal A/T for the African flights on Brussels Airlines. Europe, generally, is pretty sterile and probably the Belgiums, Switzerlands, Germanys of the world are fairly black & white or grey, in terms of decor, etc. The Brussels Airlines lounge was fairly "Enterpriseish" but in a bright orange/red decor. Some good "pain chocolat" (aka chocolate croissant) and even beer, but even for me it was too early for that but Belgian beer is the way to go.....maybe on the way home. A green tea with peppermint to settle my prawn curry and then checking emails again. NOT rushing to the gate to board Brussels Airlines flight to Kigali, Rwanda.
