"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

A day at a conference


This is my 4th trip to Antwerp, the 1st and the 3rd was for a holiday. The 2nd trip was for a business and as of today, my 4th visit is purely an academic purposes "presenting a key notes in a two days conference on advanced technology".

Above picture is a view of Antwerp's new central railway station after its restoration, September 25, 2009. The station was expanded with a shopping center and two lower-level platforms as part of an upgrade to accommodate high-speed trains.
