      Was recommended the same by someone from Brussels.

      (He was not 6 foot and full of muscles, to be clear)

        The vegemite sandwiches are enough to keep me away.

          Back when Australia was still remote and exotic, before Crocodile Dundee even, a lot of people back in the day thought he sang:
          “He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich”,
          which would have also made for a fantastic lyric in a very silly way.

      Does this mean you love it and want to keep it all to yourself? Also how does it smell?

      Just got back from a 3 day trip to Brussels, we loved it. Plus, Smurfs (Les Schtroumpfs) everywhere. We did take a day trip to Bruges though, that was even better than Brussels IMHO. Especially since I could walk around saying to my wife “If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.”.

      I wanna move to Belgium. Not once have I considered Brussels as my new demeure. It’s got some cool stuff, but it has little to no revisit value.

      Quite a lot of the cities in the Flemish region look absolutely beautiful (Bruges especially), yet everyone I know of just sees Brussels and thinks of it as all of Belgium, then comes to the conclusion that the entire country is basically rubbish.

      But I personally think that Charleroi is way worse.
