Wow! The climate of the country is fantastic. Such cordial and disciplined people Belgians are. I learned the value of punctuality and hospitality from them. Especially the way they respect and follow the rules of the state, their professional behaviour and several other factors impressed me a lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Particularly, I loved the climate. It was moderately cold and was very pleasant.\u00a0 No scorching heat waves. So it was good to remain outdoors as well as indoors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I visited Mini Europe and Atomium in Belgium. The architecture of both places was excellent and unique. Atomium is having a very different structure, similar to an atom. Mini Europe is a park, which has replicas of all famous monuments present in Europe continent and it gives a chance to see all the monuments at one place. By visiting Mini Europe we will get a happy feeling of having visited the entire continent. Oh My God! It was absolutely stunning to see nearly 80 cities and 350 monuments that have been represented there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was really an amazing trip for me.
