Excellent topic! (and thanks for the heads up in the community forum that linked here!)

When I traveled to BKK for the first time, the best thing I did the whole trip was read local literature (in english).

I am traveling to Prague and Brussels next week and will pick up Kundera's 'Ignorance'.

Any suggestion for Brussels/Belgium?
