International Car Free Day  

Posted by Lisa in , ,

Today was international car free day! How international it was, I have no idea. But, there were no cars allowed (except for taxis, buses, and those with special permits) in Brussels today. And there were some areas in Taiwan that were car-free as well. So, in my very narrow view of the world, that's semi international. :P It was interesting. There were a few cars that still drove, although I'm not sure if they were just ignorant, didn't care, or had special permits. But generally in our residential area, there were no cars, so you could walk on the roads. What a liberating feeling of not having to worry about having cars run you over. =P All the public transportation here were free too! So we took the metro to get downtown and back.

Last night in Brussels for me. Tomorrow, I will officially be living in Leuven as there will be no more home for me to come to in Brussels. Just as I was getting used to and knowing my way around this neighborhood. Meh, at least downtown Brussels is just a few stops away via train from Leuven.

Anyway, I think you all should visit me because I have a nice bottle of red wine waiting to be drank (drunken?) in Leuven. Who's up for it?

They tried to do it in taipei city too...but it caused a lot of hassle since it happened on a work day and some people didn't know that it was happening...they closed roads around xing yi area.
