Things that are different in Brussels

.....per BHEB

Computer keyboard arrangement
Very few obese people
Mostly no tipping
Charge slip has no place for tip (consistent}
Charge slip has no signature line
Cobblestone streets
Accordion players (roumanian) on the streets
lots of bookstores
Lots of collector stores: stamps; coins; toy models
young people wear white lab coats decorated with graffitti
French is easier to understan (for me) than in paris
Stores that carry 250 kinds of beer
Waffles sold from street stands
Great public transportation
Biycles rented from automated street stands
Tea houses....mostly in arab neighborhoods filled with men only
Two languages for everything
Whole neighborhoods without MacDonalds
