Title: Anyone been to Brussels?
Post by: EasterBunny on August 11, 2006, 12:04:54 pm
Now I have my passport the world is my oyster so we have booked a short break to Brussels on the Eurostar.  Have any of you been, and if so can you suggest any places to go / avoid.  I have been before, but it was back in my school days and can't remember that much.

Actually I don't mind art, but my husband bores me to tears with acrhitecture. I like modern stuff he likes ruins!

Baby ones are ok but those big ones are vile. I only ever have them on Christmas day and I refuse to have more than 5 on my plate.

I've no idea why people feel obliged to have sprouts at Christmas even when they don't like them!

You need to have dinner with my mam bounty. She has sprouts atleast twice a week.

I don't believe in tradition. Just doing things because they've always been done is a waste of time.

Yes but that isn't tradition - it's good dental hygiene.

Easterbunny, I have been to Brussels on the Eurostar. I'm sorry I can't recommend it, the chocolate is very expensive (exactly the same chocolate is available at all the same shops next door in the Netherlands at half the price) and everyone speaks French!
