Favorite thing: Grand Place is the place to go to with someone who has never been to Brussels before but having said that, I also take most of my friends to the proper beer cafés in town.
Fondest memory: What I miss when I'm not in Brussels? HM...most certainly not the rain and the filthy streets but OH yes; the surrealism! Everywhere you go there are signs of it and best of all was the 2001 Christmas installation in Grand Place. Colourful, illuminated donkeys, sheep and cows! Could only be Belgium and I love it.
