Grad Trip - Photo of the Day 5

April 26, it was raining the whole morning and early afternoon. So couldn't go to Brussels early, and stayed home to clear my photos till dinner time. The girls brought me to a Greek restaurant in the neighbourhood, and the food was great. (photos will be up on FB soon) But not before we had to down a strange liquor that came in cute little cups like this:

Even at 1/128 power with diffuser, the flash was too strong, so I had to use the serviette to cover the flash. Unfortunately, the serviettes there were yellow, which gave a very strong yellow tint to my photos. And after correcting slightly for the yellow, the poor candle in the background looks discoloured.

Note to self: bring your own white serviettes next time. Now where's the nearest Mac's...

Regardless, the food was great value for money -- about 12 euros for a full meaty course plus salad bar. Greece eh... something to look forward to in the future?

Anyhow, I reached Brussels that night quite late at about 10.30pm. It was still raining there, but luckily, the streets were quite easy to navigate.
