Facade of famous building at main Brussels square

Belgium is strategically centrally located between Germany and France with UK across the channel with neighboring Nederlands and Luxembourg too.

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the "capital" of the European Union.

Besides Belgian chocolate and beer, I did not know much of this flat but beautiful country.

Hope to spend more time there in the future.

Nice tips. I also have some Belgium francs, I collect old money, notes and coins, just for looking at and examining under the magnifying glass, wondering who used it and where it had travelled.

Hi SL, good tips on Belgium! How are you at Beijing? I'm back from Canada last week, and you should receive 2 more postcards (Vancouver and Victoria)

The chocolate alone would entice me to visit.

I was only able to spend a few hours in Belgium during a layover between flights, but I liked what I saw.
