Greece

When I saw this man with his blue Planet Parfum bag sitting underneath graffiti referring to Greece, I was driving to Brussels' South Station, listening to the story on the car radio about Greece's Prime Minister's call for a referendum on the relief package deal proposed by Europe a few days ago.  The scene somehow brought the story to life for me.

The South Train Station in Brussels, Bruxelles-Midi - Brussel-Zuid, is an important "local" station but also the place where most international train travelers arrive, sort of a "hub" for the Eurostar, the Thalys and for other international trains as well.
The first picture shows the Subway station, the second is the view the traveler gets leaving Brussels.
