Anodyne...

They've done a right clean-up job on this, the connecting tunnel between the Metro & the main hall of Brussels' Gare Centrale.

It used to be real & tawdry. Half the overhead neons had given up the ghost. There were Rumanian gypsies & Chilean pan pipe bands trying to out-busk each other. There were dozens of improvised stalls selling dodgy jewelry, tied & dyed bedspreads (wash separately please), sickly joss-sticks, chillums & hookahs. A veritable haven for low-life with the funkiest spectrum of smells!

Seems I'm on the grump - got this reputation to maintain :o)
