Brussels my coming hometown
Since March 2006 I have travelled back and forth to Brussels every Monday and Friday. I have come to really enjoy the city and the people in the more than a year this has been going on - and this summer I cant wait for moving down here and it looks like it going to be in August.
What is Brussels and what are the Belgians? I think that this is a more than a difficult question to answer but I have come to love this most northen part of southern Europe. From now on I am certain that southen europe starts in Brussels.
Brussels is also a very international city and when you land in the airport of Zaventem you are greeted with a sign telling you that you are now in the heart of Europe - I love this, I think I have seen the same text in at least 3 other airports.
But Brussels is a very international city and a good way to feel this is when you talk to Belgians - they are very open and friendly and they are used to talk to "outsiders"You can“t say Brussels, Belgium without saying excellent food and beer. Almost all food I have had the last year have been extremely good - and it does not matter what kind of food you prefer. I have tried to review some of the restaurant that I have been visiting and as you might have seen - almost all of them have gotten 4 stars.
The beers of Belgium is a full time study - I cant imagine if I had to test them all. Most of the Belgian beers a really taste and very strong - very strong ---- and very very good. I just have to warn about the beer it is very strong - especially for people coming from countries where you are not used to strong beer. I was drinking a beer with at Spanish friend of mine and he was really chocked because they usually drink light beer in small glasses - and here you get strong beer in big glasses.
