Brussels my coming hometown

Brussels Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I have now been working for more than 2 years in this lovely city of Brussels. The last 9 month I had the fortune of living here full time. I have become to understand why expats dont wanna leave again. One of my goals here is to visit all large cities in Belgium and afterwards know a lot about Belgium. Living in the heart of Europe also gives me the possibility to visit many of the larger cities in the middle of Europe by car or by plane. The years I am here I will try to see a lot.

Brussels my coming hometown

What is Belgium without a cold beer. The best thing is all the different choises. The one in the strange glass is a Kwak

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 canĀ“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.
