    I agree-Brussels is not that boring. The architecture is so fascinating and they have some of the best chocolate I have ever had.

    I haven’t seen En Bruges yet, but I’d love to see it soon. I like seeing movies shot in cities I haven’t yet visited.

    Those flight fares are insane. Kind of makes me angry I don’t have anyone to fly with!
