I was able to visit Mike in Belgium for 10 days during my first break at the end of October. There are a lot of breaks in France. We had a wonderful time in Leuven where he studies, and also visiting Bruxelles and Bruges and another city that I forget the name of right now. We enjoyed lots of lattes and beers in little Belgian cafes/pubs, as well as a few nice meals out. I finally tried Thai food ! Good stuff. I had never been to Belgium before so everything was extra exciting for me. In Bruxelles we saw the main attraction, the pissing statue (a little boy peeing), which was much smaller than I expected..and then it started to rain so we went to a famous bar called Delerium where they have over 200 different beers ! There are 3 floors. The top floor serves only imported beers, the 2nd floor serves bottled beers, and the 1st serves beers on tap...I think, but my memory is a bit hazy. Belgian beers are strong ! We stuck with the beers on tap. We also ate moules frites for lunch, which was pretty touristy. The only negative thing about Belgium is that it was freezing ! Toulouse is much warmer, thankfully. Anyway, I'll hopefully be going back again soon. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures.
