Brussels or Bruxelles?

18th/21st December 2014

Brussels was interesting. Quite cool, but a little weird too. I guess Belgium is a little weird too. This video" "explains" it better than I can. Seeing signs having three languages (or generally at least two, Dutch and French) was a little amusing.

The European Union Quarter was so clinical.

The most interesting part about Brussels was when we visited a court room at the Palais de Justice and we got ushered out by two police officers after a while with very large guns (apparently rifles) that were almost as tall as me.

And what is a visit to Belgium without frites! Finally, in an corner of the world where mayonnaise is plentiful! My favourite sauce is either mayonnaise or tomato sauce and American mustard mixed together.
