[ITA-ENG] Travel Peanuts #01 - Bruxelles, Rue des Bouchers

Un mio conoscente vallone sostiene che il proverbio “Non aspettare che smetta di piovere” sia nato in Belgio. Non è difficile capire perché: il meteo belga sa essere impietoso in qualsiasi stagione, dunque non è raro essere sorpresi da pioggia anche sostenuta.
Deciso a sfidare il piovasco, mi dedicai quella sera ad un giro della Gran Place e delle vie limitrofe, scoprendo un volto di Bruxelles fino ad allora a me ignoto. L’illuminazione del neon, diffusa dalla pioggia e rifratta dal selciato umido, creava un caleidoscopio di colori diffusi, mentre piccoli gruppi di persone si stringevano sotto gli ombrelli per ripararsi dal freddo e dall’acqua.
Persino Rue des Bouchers, con le sue vetrine cariche di ghiaccio e crostacei, camerieri invadenti e coraggiosi menù carichi di moule e spaghetti bolonnaise, sotto queste luci assume un fascino particolarmente pittoresco e degno del migliore dei ricordi.

A friend of mine from Wallonia says that the proverb "Do not wait until it stops raining" was born in Belgium. It is not difficult to understand why: the Belgian weather can be pitiless in any season, so it is not uncommon to be surprised by heavy rain.
Determined to challenge the rain, I spent that evening to a tour of the Grand Place and the surrounding streets, discovering a face of Brussels until then unknown to me. The neon lighting, diffused by the rain and refracted by the damp pavement, created a kaleidoscope of diffused colors, while small groups of people clung under the umbrellas to protect themselves from the cold and the water.
Even Rue des Bouchers, with its windows full of ice and shellfish, intrusive waiters and brave menus full of moule and spaghetti bolonnaise, under these lights takes on a particularly picturesque and worthy of the best of memories.
