Brussels, North Station

Another (too) early start to get the 6.25 train from Paris to Brussels, in order to be there for a meeting at 9 o'clock. Unfortunately there is no train around 7 am, which would be perfect. The treat was to have first a cup of tea in the Exki restaurant just outside North Station, before then starting in the office.

The whole area seems a bit artificial, newly built with plenty of business towers and not enough stores, cafés, restaurants, etc. to make it a pleasant area.
