Markus has this entry pretty well covered below; Brussels seems to rock my socks, and we only just got here. Grand Place seems to be living up to its reputation as the best city square in Europe. Around Grand Place is a restaurant district that's just like the Red Light District in Amsterdam, except with food. That's the only difference; the restaurants are still surrounded by red neon lights, it's widely known as a common tourist trap, and there are incredibly pushy waiters soliciting business outside on the extremely narrow street (think 10 feet wide). "Hey! Table for two?" "Eh! Eh! You want to try some fantastic lobster?"
Time's up on this 'net computer, later!

Posted by: Jill at May 21, 2003 10:16 PMHi guys, sounds like you've seen some pretty cool stuff so far, so let's see some pictures!! Oh yeah, hey Markus, when Brian was speaking that funny launguage, did it sound like he was choking on some chocolate rather than asking for some? ;)
Posted by: Heather at May 21, 2003 11:21 PMHey Brian, good to see your website is up and running. how long has it been? about a month now? well, where are the pics?? unless they're posted, but I'm too dumb to figure it out. anyhoo, I'm glad you're having fun, and make sure you bring me back some chocolate, or don't come back!! I'm serious. I take my chocolate serious as well. neways, gotta get back to work, but keep us posted.
Posted by: Noel at May 22, 2003 02:41 PMGuess who's not getting any chocolate when I get back! It's not Noel! Well, my choking probably won't be useful anyway...people say that the French ask you to stop speaking Quebec French when you're there. Apparently they consider it a disgrace of the language, an old relic that should have died ages ago.
Noel, glad you like the site. :D There should be some pics up now, I hope you like them. We'll probably have some more in maybe a week or so.
Jill, we don't want to be too jaded, but we're keeping careful, we hope. So many people looking to take advantage of tourists here! Talk to you soon.
