Quick Night Out

It was past 10pm when we got to Hotel Manhattan in Brussels.  It would already be 5am in Manila by then.  Most of us had been awake for almost 24 hours.  We were all tired from the long trip.  But for some of us, we were more hungry than tired.  So the five ladies in our party of nine decided to take a look around and see if we can not find some warm food.

But we were tourists so of course we had cameras on hand when we walked out of the hotel.  In the elevator, we just happened to meet a Frenchman named Jacques who was also staying in the same hotel.  While outside, he noticed we were clicking away and decided to help us out so all five of us can be in the picture at the same time.

After he had gone off, we noticed a car stopped in front of us and the men inside were loudly talking.  We all felt that they were discussing us.  Maybe it was just our stereotype but we feared they were considering us in a negative light.  So we stowed the cameras and walked on.

We walked into a convenience store and got ourselves some instant noodles.  I was going to buy chips but flavors like paprika and chili turned me off.  Anyway, the noodles were satisfying enough.

And we got back to the hotel in time to catch the announcement of the Eurovision winners.
