My dad took me and my little brother to the beach in Oostende by train. After some swimming and castle building, we walked up to this casino, which held a Suske & Wiske exhibition. The comic is (or better, was) very popular in Belgium. I’ve must have read over 70 of their albums, and my dad read them too as a little boy. I still remember a bit of the tour, there was a life-size maquette of the “Teletijdsmachine” but I was a bit underwhelmed as it didn’t actually work :)

Toured the breweries on a school trip (according to our chemistry teacher it was a prime example of chemistry…). Some parts smelled bad but there was free sampling at the end (in which said chemistry teacher happily joined).

We drove from Kyushu to Honshu, and thus crossed this bridge to get from one island to the other. Right before crossing there’s a parking lot with some view points (and souvenir shops and loads of vending machines of course) which is where I took this picture.
