I'm happy now because 3-day holiday will start from tomorrow.
Germany has many public holidays in this season.
I can imagine easily that my friends in Japan envy me.
Life in Germany
I traveled around 3 contries last week.
I would like to show some pictures and relevant stories.
Luxembourg
"Luxembourg" is not only the country name but also the city name.
The city is not so large and I thought 2 or 3hours were enough to stay there.
I just show pictures because I didn't have any special events in Luxembourg.
Casemates du Bock (ボック要塞)
Pont Adolphe (アドルフ橋)
Cathédrale Notre-Dame (ノートルダム大聖堂)
Palais Grand-Ducal (ルクセンブルク大公宮殿)
Bruxelles in Belgium
Bruxelles is the best city I have ever visited.
There are many beatiful and funny sightseeing spots and food is good.
I strongly recommend it to you.
Grand-Place (グランプラス)
My soul was stirred.
The view was so amazing especially at night.
I was able to think I was happy to have a chance to come to Europe.
Manneken-Pis (小便小僧)
He wore clothes.
He was smaller than I had expected and I understood the reason why it is one of the most disappointing sightseeing spot.
I found not only the boy statue but also such a girl statue.
I remembered it had been introduced in トリビアの泉 when I was an elementary school student.
In accordance with compliance, I refrain from showing the picture.
Cathedrale St. Michel (サンミッシェル大聖堂)
Contrary to Manneken-Pis, this cathedral was larger than my expectation.
It also has the good night view.
Everard t'Serclaes (セルクラースの像)
Tourists touched her arm.
I guessed it was like a spiritual place and I also touched it.
Surprisingly, she really gave me happiness the next day!
Mont des Arts (芸術の丘)
Someone was playing accordion and the atmosphere was so good.
I felt as if I had been in a movie.
Le Berlaymont (EU本部)
These are located a little bit far from the center.
It was interesting that these urban buildings and the traditional spots I already mentioned were in the same city.
Waffle
We often associate Belgium with waffle.
I found the store near Grand-Place.
According to Teacher Google, it is one of the most famous stores.
The store was crowded and a woman asked me to share the table because I was alone.
She is Indonesian and lives in Finland.
She was visiting her friend in Belgium, but her friend was working at that time.
This was the reason why she was also alone.
It was my first time to talk with an unknown person in English and I struggled with communication, but I enjoyed it overall.
That's all I would like to show about my travel in Luxembourg and Bruxelles.
I will show some pictures and stories in Amsterdam tomorrow.
Prediction
鳴尾記念（GIII、中京、芝2000m）
My favorite : ⑩Yashamaru (8th favorite)
・The 1st favorite horse in this race is ⑧Kaiser Barows and he got the 2nd place in 新潟大賞典 (GIII). On the other hand, ⑩Yashamaru got the 3rd place at that time and the difference between them was so small. Nevertheless, he is the 8th favorite this time. I think this is a chance to get much money by betting him.
・I also would like to bet Kawada-san (⑧Kaiser Barows) and Fukunaga-san (⑨Geraldina). In addition to them, ③Sanrei Pocket looks good because he is always competitive no matter how strong other horses are.
・I bought quinella tickets consisting of ⑩Yashamaru and one of the above 3 horses.
