What I liked about Belgium
It’s been more than a month since I last stepped on European soil, and just like my previous trips there, I feel a deep longing to return. That’s how much I enjoy the experience. To me, it is always what a real vacation should be.
So here are the things I liked about Belgium:
1. English is spoken practically everywhere. I don’t know if their being bi-lingual has reinforced the need to for a common language in English, but we certainly had no difficulty getting around as most were conversant when we moved about. It was true that everything was translated in both French and Dutch — but I didn’t get any lost looks when I uttered “Excuse me…”
2. Chocolates, chocolates, chocolates galore.
3. Lace
4. The light show at the Grand Place. Truly breath-taking. Every time I passed it as it was going on, I felt like I was seeing something new for the first time each time. I was being hypnotized to stay and watch.
More to come.
