The Street Performer in Brussels
Another TGIF is here! How’s your day folks? I hope everything went fine. I guess, it was not really my day today. I was pissed-off at work and I was questioning myself what am I really doing there. Until now, I am thinking if I will be staying there for some years or maybe just for a year.
Since there plans and projects going on in my mind the past weeks and months and if resources will be available in the soonest possible time, I will surely leave the job. Hopefully next year, when finances will be fine, I will surely start a business back in my home country. I hope everything will be materialized in two years.

Back to the main topic..whew! I was browsing some old photo albums from my travels. I found an album taken in Brussels. One of the photos I took was this guy who was playing a kid of music instrument. I totally forgot its name but it looks like a long horn. He really played good that I stayed for some minutes to listen to him.
I tried to search it in the internet and landed at musiciansfriend.com. I am happy after knowing what kind of music instrument it is. According to my bestfriend Wikipedia, “it is called the alphorn or alpenhorn or alpine horn. It is a labrophone, consisting of a wooden natural horn of conical bore, having a wooden cup-shaped mouthpiece, used by mountain dwellers in Switzerland and elsewhere. Similar wooden horns were used for communication in most mountainous regions of Europe, from the French Alps to the Carpathians.”
That was a great visit I had in Brussels, the capital of Belgium last 2010. I hope to visit it again in the future. I think this is all for now. I wish everyone a happy weekend!
