I went to Belgium a while ago, to Bruges, so I've never heard any Flemish... I want to, it sounds terribly fun. Bruges was lovely, but I couldn't speak French, because if you speak French they attack you with weaponry fashioned from deadly Belgian chocolate. (Chocolatiers form the basic footsoldiers of the Belgian army. It's not a very good army, but well fed. And happy.)
There were chocolate shops everywhere! And every single one of them, without fail, had at least two pairs of chocolate breasts in the window. Some had icinged-on lingerie. It was slightly surreal. Family liked it.
Brussels is not the most exciting place to visit in the world.
On behalf of my home city: OY!! ;-)
I'm very glad you enjoyed Belgium (and impressed that you chose it as a destination over the far more glamorous countries surrounding it!). What propted this escapade to the land of chocolate and beer (at least, that's what it's most famous for, so I've been told. That, and moules et frites)?
