We would like to go to this café/restaurant around 16:30 and order our dinner around 17:30. I think you can stay with us than? I suppose you have to take your train at the Station Midi /South. We'll meet at the Central Station and the Grand Place is near the Central Station.

At evey one: we would meet at 11:00 at the Central Station, except for i_ride_a_suzuki, who we will meet later. We first will eat some sandwiches in the park near the Royal Palace. Than we'll visit the Royal Palace (I'll try to go there this weekend to see how long it takes to visit this place and to find out if we can buy postcards). Than we'll go to the Grand Place because it's a must if you come to Brussels. There we can buy our postcards (0,25 € each). Than the programm depends on the time we have left. At 16:30 we'd like to start writing our cards and about an hour later we'll order our diner.

@i_ride_a_suzuki: it will take +/-10 minutes to take a train from the Central Station to Brussels Midi so if we can order our diner around 17:30; you'll have plenty of time.

Because it's almost meeting time, some more practical information: I suggest we meet at the hall of the Central Station at the side of the Starbucks bar (adrienne, could you update the 1st post).

I alreadywent to the Royal Palace yesterday and it's really worth a visit. You can buy postcards at the Palace but they are rather expensive (€ 1 and € 2 each, but I don't know if you'll find the same postcards anywhere else.

I received some FB's yesterday, but can do anything with them because I don't have penfriends anymore who like them. Is there someone coming to the Brussels meeting who's interested in these FB's?

A Friendship Book: something penpals send to eachother, they put their address in it, send it to an other friend, and so on. It's a way to find new penpals.
