The special exhibition today was Gent Are Museum Arts in Belgium.
I first took a snack at the restaurant Le Jardin.
Belgium beer bottles were displayed at the entrance.
"Beef boiled with beer" was a special item I was taught from my friend in Tokyo. It was really good, tender and juicy. This was a typical Belgium dish.
The park was very good surrounded with thick green.
Belgium is famous for its waffle. The taste of orange sauce was good as well. I enjoyed it by thinking my son and his wife living in Belgium
