Cheers. I love and agree with all the comments, save of the course the GODIVA/Newhaus one.

Godiva is Heavenly. Neuhaus is alright and my sister in law loved them when I brought some back from Belgium. Again, Godiva is Heavenly. If I had Godiva in front of me all the time I would be in serious trouble.


As for Belgium. A few years ago we stayed by CDG. Had to go into Paris Gare du Nord, which I didn't mind, I love train stations as well, but not as much as airports. Took the Thalys to Midi, then the local train out to Zaventem and played.

I love how English is just not a problem in BRU wheras in Paris, it can be. One person speaks English well and another not at all, same in Germany.

I do appreciate how so many signs in BRU are in English and it is more int'l. Why they chose BRU for their capital.
Too much French pride a few miles to the South.

Will have to check out the new pier.

As for techno, I love it. I discovered Techno on a mileage run to Frankfurt which apart from Ibitha(Ibiza), may be the world's techno capital. Techno just isn't as popular over here. One more thing I enjoy while in Europe, apart from the women, better food,and more fun airports, and no TSA!!!
