Belgium

Tim claims he has an "artistic temperment", aka "judgemental asshole". It's ok, me too. Antwerp is still possibly the best place ever. Lots of pent-up shop till you drop - ing. Brussels felt kind of like the Washington DC of Europe, but actually better.

Euros: they just want to drink, smoke, liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinger

They don't dance all that well. I tried out some ABDC inspired moves at a show.

The "royal" museum or whatever had HECKA BRUEGELS!?!? both of them. !?!? worth it for sure.

We had a David Lynch moment in a Thai restaurant. We saw only one Schipperke but it was a pretty special one. In fact no one in Belgium seemed to know anything about this dog.

chocolate = very good. waffles = off the chain. french fries = french fries.

I drank so much more beer than I wanted to.

The best things I didn't buy: giant crystal parallelogram (with rainbows in it) (€?), COS dress (€60), poncho/thing (€90), big stuffed animal seal (€250 WTFFFF!?)

Tim went bonkers in the record stores, they are really good FYI.

Also they play classical music in the subway in Brussels, how classy is that.

edit to add: I forgot the school of circus, the crystall ball dancing man. ! and cribbage
