At Batibouw

My dad designs kitchen, and as long as I know it, I went to Batibouw. One week a year we were 'released' in the palaces at Heysel.
The last years, I kind of accept the question of my dad helping him out.
Coz, it has to be said, though it isn't my profession and it will never be, I do know a lot about kitchens by now.

I accepted this year, but the condition was internet would be available. The fair is full of people, but they don't always come to visit your thing. And thus, actually, a day at Batibouw, turns out to be a long day...

I arrived at 10, after a long trip, where apparently everybody seemed to go to Heysel, leaving no free seats at the train, nor metro.
(O the horror, how I would have loved to stay in the warm bed this morning...)

Anyhooo, I arrive, open up the computer and there it pops up: 'wifi'
And then the following message:

I repeat for those who cannot read and because of total agony:
3 euros for 15 minutes!
3 euros for 15 minutes!!!
And then after the first 15 minutes .20 euro/minute.
With a maximum of 120 minutes.

Ok let's count: that would make 24 euro for 2 hours.
Let's say you would skip the 120 minutes limit and you want to be online for 6 hours, which is reasonable in my case, knowing I am a webdesigner.
That's 72 euros...

If there would have been Telenet Hotspot, that would have cost me zero...

F* Batibouw Bastards...
