Belgium / Brussels Anyone been here? Whats it like for going out and stuff .... nice place? much to do?
Its a v.nice place. One of the cleanest eurpean cities ive visited. And the beers is immensly strong.
I stopped there for a couple of hours on my way to africa once, ate some chocolate was lush, can't remember much else was about 10 ears ago now.
hmmmmmmmm ! nightlife wise its a bit weird in many places ! loads of clubs there now play jumpstyle or schranz.. the schranz nights are not too bad but if you get pulled into a jumpstyle club it could be a nightmare.
schranz is very hard/fast techno http://www.freaky.nl/cms/shopprodukt/25619/Viper%20XXL%2dThe%20Righteous%20Beast%20EP.htm jumpstyle is bouncy cross of hardstyle/techno/oldskool http://www.recess.nl/producten.asp?StyleId=56&desc=Jumpstyle
In particular go here: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/8986/?view=beerfly World record for most beers available, think its something like 2000. Apparently that's just because when the Guiness world record people came to count they only had 2000, but there's normally up to about 3000 different beers available!!
Wicked - i can see myself enjoying alot of those! ... just got an IT contract there for 3 months working 3-5 days a week in brussels.
My brother lived there for about four months before xmas last year. Really liked the city. I've been there a few times too and have always enjoyed it.
it has a bit of a boring rep but I thought it was a really lively cosmopolitan place with nice food too
