Luxembourg

May 21, 2009 - Though a small country only being 2,586 square kilometers, Luxembourg should not be taken for granted. Landlocked between France, Germany, and Belgium, it has been an important European power for the last centuries.


MA, I'M IN LUXEMBOURG. Jerick proving that he was really there.

It’s only 3 hours by train from Brussels, so we decided to visit the city during the long May 21st holiday. We arrived in Luxembourg early afternoon, though it was a little cold, we decided to walk across to the city centre, a rough 2-3 kms. from the train station. A good stroll along its streets allows you to see the mixture of green forest parks and brick gray castles.


ADOLPHE BRIDGE. Luxembourg City's famous landmark

As one intern said, Luxembourg is the Magic Kingdom of Western Europe. It’s true in a sense that I have never seen such a busy city yet having the look of a medieval village. I particularly like the park in the middle city where you can see the Adolphe bridge.


MASTER JUMP SHOTS. AIESEC interns from Belgium doing the famous jump shots. :)


Anyway, what trip wouldn’t be complete without jumping shots, tasting some homegrown food and drinks (Luxembourgish beer), and funny photos. We went home a little around 7PM and continued to enjoy our day in the train (where we played 1-2-3 pass and made crazy punishments).


Nice way to spend a one-day holiday.
