I was caught in that 'Grande Place' [is that what it's called?] in Brussels on the back of a good recommendation.

 

Tourist trap and cr*p besides

 

Are you a Frenchie or Flemish?

[ir_fuel]

Flemish.

 

Living in the French part of Belgium right now dough, so got a good view on this whole "language frontier" thing here

 

La Grande Place? Ow well, its for tourists you know, nothing special going on there. There is more interesting stuff to do in Brussels. I guess they also sent you through the "Rue de boucher" where are the restaurants are?

I have lived there for 6 years, the Gentse Feesten were at 100m from my door. Luckily i never needed to get up early those days
