People
were queuing this afternoon to get into the most expensive shops in a well-to-do
area of Brussels. The other shops, normally patronised by the medium-income
people had almost no customer. And then, there was this incredibly sad sight
of closed restaurants and bars and a big hotel, a huge tower, completely empty.
For me, it was a vivid example of how the crisis is seriously affecting some
segments of society whilst others are just returning to their old habits, as if
the past were back. But it is not.
