Belgium is sweet. It’s full of waffles that are more like funnel cake than breakfast food, homemade mouth-watering chocolate, fries traditionally eaten with mayonaise, and really good beer.

San Francisco definitely spoiled me in terms of taste for alcohol. The first restaurant in Brussels that we went to I realized I had already had over half of the local beers on the menu! Thank you Monk’s Kettle. Thank you Inner Mission.

It’s a more walkable city than most I’ve been in recently, which is a nice change of pace. The actual current city-life culture also just resonated with me more than most of the other European cities.

Brussels itself seems like a really fun city to live in. We caught an outdoor movie playing near a pond where young people were just drinking outside while taking in and enjoying the cool night breeze.
