1. They like music. Everywhere. And they like it old school. The supermarket plays It's In His Kiss. The metro station plays Dancing Queen and Walking In Memphis.

2. The city is clean. Hardly any garbage at all lying around. And their metro stations are spacious (dunno if that's even a word but you get what I mean), and decorated with nicelooking modern art, with actual shapes and motives, not just random stripes.

3. The "belgian waffle" thing is true. I saw a waffle stand on a metro station. And I went grocery shopping today (absolutely the best way to get to know a new country's culture, isn't that true, Ozzy?) and I saw SHELVES of waffles. And chocolate.

4, They have plenty of organic stuff. The nature friendly trend is even bigger here than in Sweden.
Which brings me to the most awesome thing today: The organic cafe! We had lunch there. Delicious bread, divine mint tea (made out of fresh mentha), sandwich with parmesan and grilled aubergines and everything was organic. And beautifully served on top of that.
But the best thing there was no doubt their chocolate cream (think nutella, but without the nuts and made of belgian chocolate!). I think a part of me will die everyday I live without eating that on a piece of bread. Gotta buy that in kilos when I head home. My kind au pair mother bought a jar for me, standing already opened in the kitchen.

But I have yet to try their pralines. And waffles :P
I'm off to bed soon (I get up early nowadays you know). You people can still text me on my old number, I use my old phone as alarm clock.
And I need to tell you that all of you people reading these words warm my heart. It means you miss me, sorta :)
Right then, nighty nighty, I'm off to dream about chocolate in various shapes.

Ps. There's a huge spider in my bathroom somewhere. Please kill it when you get here, Ted. Thanks.

All this cause I asked for tea.
