Star Wars Exhibition

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Star Wars Exhibition in Brussels! :) I could not miss it! Moreover, it was an opportunity to convert Mieke ;)




No sooner said than done, we were on our way. We entered in the Star Wars universe. Music, posters, lights everything was there to make the atmosphere fantastic. Barely inside, we saw real mock-up of the podracer of Anakin Skywalker, real clones, and even Dark Vador himself!


We discovered some secrets about the filming, and the places were they did it. Did you know that the pod race had been filmed in Tunisia? No? You should have gone to the exhibition though ;)

You would have also had the honor of seing Yoda, the privilège of discovering Amidala and her numerous beautiful outfits (mainly dresses), the collection of limited and numeroted lightsaber, and for the most fanatic of you, a lot of goodies to buy. Who never dreamed about the R2D2 Projector ?

The exhibition takes place in Tour and Taxis till June, so the afficionados of the saga have still time to go there. Thanks to this, Mieke has totally been immerged in this fabulous universe and now wants to see all the movies. it is really a proof it is worth it. Now, I am going to leave you, we are going to watch the movies ;)

Batibouw

Are you looking for some information to build the house of your dreams? Are you interested in new building technics? Or do you just want to occupy your Sunday? Batibouw is made for you.


Next to the atomium, in the palaces of the national exhibition of 1958, Batibouw takes place every year. For this year, Mieke and I went there just to have a look and be amazed by all the nice things you can use to create the house you have ever dreamed about.



Verandas, swimming pools, fake grass which looks more real than real, giant BBQs, illuminated numbers, solar heating, high-tech kitchens, bathrooms pleasant than some bedrooms, cozy outside living rooms, and so on and so forth.



We spent all our afternoon walking in the middle of stands, collecting documentations and grabbing goodies. It was very instructive and interesting. Maybe one day we will build a house like the ones we saw ;)

New job, new flat, new city, new country and Mieke :)

Hey folks!

I am connected to the world again, so I can tell you my stories and keep my blog up to date ;)


I am going to start talking about my new city: Brussels. Brussels is a nice city. It is a capital, but it is not as crowded and as crazy as Paris for example. There is always something to do, like animations, exhibitions, or a bar full of beers to taste.



I walk a lot to explore my new environement and I discovered some strange things like the washing powder vending machine, or this strange wooden structure in a shape of umbrella.

I also started a new job as a develloper. The begining was not very pleasant, but my new project promises to be interesting: create XML web services. In any cases, my new workmates are nice, and there is a nice atmosphere in the office.




I have a new flat too (Wow, there really are a lot of new things ;) where Mieke and I built my new IKEA's furnitures. She built the dinner table all alone, so I don't know how long it is going to stay in one piece... Wait and see ;>



That's all for the news of the moment, but I will keep you posted about the next ones for sure ;) Just before leaving you, here is a "photo souvenir" from the FOSDEM with my two geeky friends who came for this event.
