I visiting Brussels about 3 years ago. Not sure why, but it felt very dark and sinister to me. My intuition that this was a dangerous place was heightened. I couldn’t wait to leave and I never want to go back.
Oops! Visited, not visiting. Freeping too early without coffee is hazardous.
Travelled through to Brussels from Zurich many years ago (89, I think). It was a sh*thole then and is a sh*thole now, although the islamic pestilence was not in full force yet. Reason we had to spend 24 hrs on a rickety train was that the charter pilot was drunk.
It was still unbendingly nazi, though. Just as the rest of Europe.
