I guess Brussels was nice enough of a city, I guess. The one thing that I can say is that it's a really random city. The main attractions are a peeing boy and a giant metallic Iron (Fe) atom enlarged 165 billion times. The people (apparently) do not dress to impress, just whatever it comfortable. Many homes on the street talking nonsense. Beer and chocolate (huh?) as national claim to fame. Ziggy Marley and Martin Solveig at a street fair for free.
3 days, 2 nights. I came away more confused than the first morning when I arrived at the city at 5:00am.
But that's enough about the city. Let's talk about more important aspects of these 3 days. Friends and beer. In the European Capital (hah!), I met up with 2 friends I met in Cambodia, a guy from liverpool with whom I went to Munich, and a girl from Portugal doing an internship in Brussels. A bit of a Siem Reap reunion (sorry Megan, Australia is too far, and dammit Mark, you should've come). Basically all we did was go to Delirium Cafe to try out several of the 2004 beers that they sell (world record).
So what am I trying to say about Brussels? Random city, great friends, and a lot of beer. What else can I ask from the capital of Europe?
