Brussels is an interesting place and no where near as dull as it has been made out to be, but having spent around 50 hours of this holiday in the country of Belgium, I have 3 main observations.
1. Belgium needs to invest in roads, specifically hard wearing tarmac and most particularly on motorways. Four inch deep potholes on a motorway are just ridiculous!
2. Belgium drivers need to learn about indicators. If they see one flashing they need to consider that the driver in question might be trying to tell them something and not just blindly carry on. Similarly if they try to use them themselves, it might help other drivers have a some sort of clue as to what they hell they are doing on the road.
3. Linked to point 2 above, Belgium pedestrians really do need to be more careful, their drivers are a menace so don't walk out in front of moving cars in Belgium, its plain stupid.
As you may have guessed I have not appreciated driving in Belgium, somewhat nerve racking at times and I was pleased to cross into France having neither damaged the car, damaged someone elses car or having run a deserving idiot over.
As for Brussels itself. Good museums, pretty parks, could do with being cleaned more often, nice waffles, an alarmingly large proportion of lingerie shops, completely mad car parks and please stop digging up the roads, their are enough holes already.
