I was offered a new job this week (damn head hunters), so don't be surprised if I show up in Belgium one of these days. Hope you have a spare bedroom....

Wide-O, out of curiosity, how far are you from Brussels? That is a place I always wanted to see. Is it all that?

SecondChances, I have been to Brussels a couple of times.
I enjoyed my trips; they do yummy chips and mussels as well as beer (not any more for me of course).

If you promise to feed the pets.

If you are into architecture, Brussels is indeed a fabulous city to visit. There is so much history there. Museums a plenty as well, as is good food. I've lived there for 7 years as a student and I loved it. It's a very international place given that it's the seat of the EU and most European institutions. Yet it's a lot smaller than you would imagine if you are from the US. They have about 1.2 million inhabitants, which would make it a tiny city in the US. There is a unique Facebook group - I don't even think you have to be a member - about the history of Brussels, with old pictures, paintings, maps... you can spend hours just browsing through them. Link is: Bruxelles autrefois, Bruxelles disparu - Home | Facebook Before that I lived in Mechelen (18km/11miles from Brussels), which used to be the capital of Europe in the Middle Ages. Again, if you are into history and old buildings, a fascinating place to wander around. After the UK, the first ever railroad built on the mainland was between Brussels & Mechelen. Also, given that just about every other country in the world has invaded Belgium there's a lot of military history too. A visit to Flanders Fields, and all those mass cemeteries is sure to make you see your own life into perspective... And from Brussels, it takes you 1h50min* by (high speed) train to get to Amsterdam, 1h22min to London and 1h50mins to Paris, so it's quite a good base camp if you want to see a few European cities. * when all tracks are finished, these times will even drop to about 1 hour in the near future... |
