A Few Observations..

Okay so having been here for a few days now, I'm starting to notice somethings about Belgian/European culture that I find fascinating.
  • There are an overwhelming number of men wearing pink shirts. Polos, t-shirts, hot pink, light pink, magenta.
  • Not so many fanny packs, but plenty of socks with sandals.
  • Almost everyone smokes. I knew it was big here, but the public works guys have giant outdoor vacuums to keep up on all of the cigarette butts everywhere.
  • Speaking of public works, they all wear ridiculous jumpsuits, & it's awesome.
  • My brother got some cereal that is essentially Captain Crunch filled with Nutella.
  • THERE ARE REAL LIFE GYPSIES!
  • Brussels is a fabulous place to play "your team"
  • The men here are gorgeous, I can get used to that.
  • Orange Fanta here is pretty much carbonated orange juice. Orangina if you will.
  • It's weird seeing european people decked out in Hollister or Abercrombie.
  • French radio stations that play all American music.
  • RIDICULOUS rollerblade party mobs cruising through town with a DJ in a truck.

Pretty much, Belgium is awesome. That's all... for now.
